I should have known better.
After my plans to open a CDS Account were indefinitely postponed I ended up investing in my mums Balanced Fund Trust investment (that's a mouthful!)and I've been watching the prices going down really fast.
I thought this would be a safe haven for my few earthly possessions, well until I get settled. From around KES 112 by Friday it had fallen to 96.91 to redeem the units bought. Top on the agenda next week is to get the chums and put them under the pillow - probably having them close/next to me will make me think fast!
On a serious note my small sis is contemplating getting a mortgage - with the rents in Nairobi that is a good idea. I'm even thinking we could do this together. I'll provide the down payment and let her sweat with the monthly payments. Fingers crossed I get some source of income soon. I think as a family we could pull this deal - I can't afford on my own and since she's already paying rent why not get her own place (oops actually get our own place!)
Of course it is just a thought at the moment - I'm not even sure where we can get a house. The indicative prices are honestly exorbitant as expected I can't think of anywhere in the big cities where getting into the property ladder is easy.
Let me go and lick my wounds in the meantime - I hope it doesn't get worse.
I should have known better!
