‘Kidnap services’ did I get that right? Yes, I hear some
company is offering Valentines day kidnap services, this comes as a package
cost effective considering you got the choice of how many days you are ‘MIA’ I mean ‘missing in action’ but
do you real think that is the cheapest
option on 14th? Time will tell. Am offering alternative valentine
day budgeting.
At this rate I foresee the best and fairest of all
Valentines Days, everyone is complaining about everything that has to do with
money. Its fair enough for everyone to enjoy this loveable day, no one has
money we all misses flowers, we all have money we all celebrate; flowers,
cards, gifts, outings, dinners, surprises and you all know everyone likes food.
This is for all of us excluding those dating, engaged or
married to fuel guzzlers, first take out your wallet/handbag whatever amount is
inside don’t worry valentines is for all of us, whether you got money or coin-less. Today I will be your financial adviser. Keeping in mind valentine day
comes once a year and it is not the end the world; calculate your expected
maximum expenditure during Valentines Day;
If your budget lies in between coin-less – ksh .50, I don’t
want you to die so soon, visit Mama githeri or chapo chafua base for an
energizing meal, then pick those romantic beautiful flowers from the City
Council flower beds, you are good to go but be very careful city hall is not
the most romantic place for valentines day celebrations.
Ksh.50 – ksh.100, you are one of the luck Kenyans
this valentines day. Simple budget spend ksh.50 on food and the rest pass by
any stall, Muthurwa or Gikosh, there are so many flowers on throw away price
get two or three, one for your sweet smoking love the other for your noisy
neighbours and no one will say you didn’t celebrate.
Ksh.100 – ksh.1000, I know most of you are now
smiling because you fall under this category, with this amount your valentines
day is as good as a new a thousand shilling note. You can buy him/her a
valentines card, flowers from city market and a
gift, don’t forget to eat something heavy as you are leaving home, you
never know what happens next because this group consist of people who claim to
be of high class. So sign a mutual agreement in advance “no additional expense”
Ksh.1000 – ksh.5000, you are free but still limited
to flowers, valentines’ card, gifts, dinner, outings and surprises. By now you
must be asking yourself what surprises are? This are “valentines crushers” early
morning knocks on the door, calls and SMS from people not in your phone directory
and noisy neighbours, don’t worry all this people may be those you dumped
10years ago, secret admirers, partner-less and valentineless
Ksh.5000 – ksh…………, this category is now for all
those dating, engaged or married to fuel guzzlers on this Valentines Day you
own your partner’s Valentines Day budget without financial worry, what to do? Throw
the dice to Him/her and let them make the decision that means your pocket is healthier
than the expenditures.
Happy Valentines Day 2015
