    How to Get Funding for Stuff – Part 2

    by Hacking Adulthood April 28, 2016

    Someone once teased that all I seemed to do was cough and suddenly grants rained down for one project or another. I wish. Money doesn’t grow on trees, and it certainly hasn’t started to fall from the skies either.
    Here are some useful tips to get some extra funds to achieve your goal, no matter what it is; school, research, artistic project…the list is endless.

    How to Get Away With a Side Hustle

    by Hacking Adulthood April 26, 2016

    My day does not begin at 9 and end at 5. My job does. But my life continues the rest of the day and night. I know a lot of us think this way, especially at twenty-something. We are exposed to the moguls of the world who have 5 different titles listed on their CV and a million others that aren’t. We want to be them. We want extra money. We want a lifestyle, not just a career. We want to be creative. We want it all now.

    How to (Mostly) Survive Living With Your Parents

    by Nana Adwoa Sey April 20, 2016

    Everytime I see one of those fancy new apartment buildings in Cantonments, Labone, Ridge, Abelemkpe, or really anywhere in Accra at this point, I feel a mix of anger, frustration, and confusion. Who exactly do they expect to live there at those prices? Why do they keep building more? Does anyone actually live there? When am I finally going to move out of my parent’s house??

    How to Get the Best Deal on Your Rent

    by Hacking Adulthood April 20, 2016

    For many young adults in Ghana, there comes a time when you finally get to move into a place of your own. Perhaps you are a year or two into your professional career, and you’ve saved up enough to rent an apartment. You’re probably very excited at the prospect of this very grown-up move, but the pinch of paying rent makes it bittersweet. Yes, you might dislike paying some of your hard-earned salary to your landlord, but you will love feeling independent, even if you find a house to rent together with a roommate or housemate.

    How To Build A House on an Entry Level Salary

    by Hacking Adulthood April 18, 2016

    We all have different priorities after landing our first “good” jobs after graduating from university. Most people choose to buy their first car, earn a postgraduate degree, get married, or work hard to get job promotions, all before they get to building a house for themselves. This is because they perceive building a house as a daunting challenge that drains time, finances, and other resources.
