A techie has taught netizens some valuable lifestyle lessons as he showed off his low-income apartment.
The young man with the handle @UnkleAyo wrote on Twitter that he started coding from the same apartment.
He said changing it wasn't an option for him 12 months after he became financially buoyant. According to him, a hustling man's biggest enemy is lifestyle inflation. His tweet reads:
"Out of this apartment, I wrote my first line of code. I got my first tech scholarship and landed my first internship. When I started stacking my coins, I still stayed there for 12 months extra because a hustling man's biggest enemy is lifestyle inflation."

"When you are hustling and you get a major break, do not go for a luxurious lifestyle as it can dwindle your coins faster than a speeding bullet. Investment and stepwise upgrade is advisable lest you go back to the trenches."
