"Reason why I prioritize my plans the way I did, is because I have butcher that needed to be upgraded in terms of stock and arts, at least to attract more customers, second priority would be opening a business to my wife because she has always been interested in running her own business, am sure through this, she will support me in some of our needs, third priority will be paying school to my child, I hate to failing in paying school fees, I usually feels that am not responsible enough as a father."
