In a subtle jab, President Nana Akufo Addo’s critics have been cautioned by Professor Emeritus Stephen Adei to be judicious with their money if they want to keep their heads above water.
Prof. Adei said Ghanaians must “limit the price of financial achievement” in reference to point 11 of his 13 criteria for achieving financial independence that a regular salaried worker might utilize to raise a million in investments.
“In other words, don’t make certain sacrifices, that is financial discipline, not wasting your money,” Prof Adei said.
“The average Ghanaian has more clothing than a millionaire in America, yes…”
He began by comparing the lifestyles of Americans with Ghanaians, claiming that whereas a rich like Steve Jobs owns only four pairs of pants, a Ghanaian with a regular job owns more.
He added that getting “Getting rich at the expense of personal integrity, a good marriage, family life, fellowship and friendship only makes you a rich fool”.
