YOU'RE NOT POOR, YOU'RE JUST BROKE - DEAL WITH IT

YOU’RE NOT POOR.

YOU’RE JUST BROKE.

DEAL WITH IT.

If you’re earning, hustling, or educated, yet still financially unstable, this book is for you.

Not because you’re lazy.

Not because you’re cursed.

Not because you “didn’t hustle hard enough.”

But because nobody taught you how to move from survival to stability inside African realities.

This Book Is a Financial Reset—Not Motivation

Most money advice wasn’t written for:

·      Irregular income

·      Family responsibilities

·      Rising transport, food, and rent costs

·      Broken systems and social pressure

This book was.

You’re Not Poor, You’re Just Broke, Deal With It cuts through denial, shame, and noise to show you how to:

·      Identify why money keeps disappearing

·      Stop financial bleeding without punishment

·      Build structure before ambition

·      Earn more intentionally, not chaotically

·      Save and plan even when income is unstable

·      Avoid scams, hype, and premature investing

·      Shift from survival thinking to builder thinking

No hype.

No imported theory.

No shortcuts.

Written From Lived Experience—Not Theory

This book is grounded in:

·      Real failures and hard lessons

·      Years of working with young Africans, SMEs, creatives, and professionals

·      Patterns observed across Nigeria and beyond

Harry Porbeni doesn’t preach wealth.

He teaches stability, clarity, and execution.

Every chapter ends with:

·      A practical checklist

·      An action plan

·      Clear next steps: you can apply immediately

You don’t have to finish the book to start changing your situation.

Who This Book Is For

This book is for you if:

·      You’re tired of “managing.”

·      You earn, but nothing sticks

·      You feel pressure to look successful while struggling privately

·      You want progress without pretending

·      You’re ready to take responsibility without self-blame

If you’re done chasing soft advice and ready for real structure, this book meets you where you are and moves you forward.

What You’ll Gain

By the end of this book, you will:

·      Understand your real financial problem

·      Have a clear stability plan

·      Make calmer money decisions

·      Build buffers before ambition

·      Execute a 90-day reset with confidence

This is not about becoming rich overnight.

It’s about becoming financially stable on purpose and building from there.

Deal With Reality. Then Build.

You were never broken.

You were just broke.

And broke is temporary, if you deal with it.
