A man has celebrated on social media as he finally moved into his own house.
Raymond Chisara shared his excitement on LinkedIn with a photo of him holding the keys to the apartment.
Raymond stated that he had lived in a rented apartment for 12 years. The man recalled how he told people who visited him in the rented abode that he was going to be a house owner and now, it has happened.
He wrote:
"The power of words. I have been a tenant for the past 12 years. Today I officially became a home owner. When people used to come to our place they would say, 'Is this your place?' and I would reply 'No it's not but when we move from here we will go to our place.'
"Honestly I didn't know how it would happen. Those were just words but today they were fulfilled. Trust God , trust the process. Eating the fruits of your mouth.Glory be to God. #motivation #inspiration #happiness #life."
Social media users celebrate him
Many people expressed joy at his achievement and sent him good thoughts as they celebrated his success.
Sugan Naidoo commented:
"Thats great, i am happy for you but dont loose sight on paying your new place off. Its not yours till the bank is paid off. Thats another scam, the bank takes so much of your money. You spend 10 years just paying interest off. Its a death trap.
Man lost both legs as a kid, his rich parents spent R359k to get him prosthetics, he now helps children
"If your place is fully paid off and yours, in that case, then brother, I am super super happy for you and a job well done. If it's not paid then my man, Try your level best to pay it off as fast as you can."
Glency Mutandwa said:
"Congrats....the good Lord will surely open more doors for you. Start thinking big and consider buying another house so that you become a landlord and that's how you start investment for your future. All the best."
