UMichel McGee ubhala izindatshana zephephandaba laseBrithani Guardian, elizinikele ekuhlelweni kwezimali zomuntu. Ufundisa abafundi njengesabelomali somndeni esabalalisa ngokufanele. Kepha ngonyaka owedlule, uMichel wabona kungazelelwe lokho, naphezu kweqiniso lokuthi usiza abantu, akazange alandele izeluleko zawo futhi angasebenzisa imali njengoba iwele. Owesifazane wanquma ukumvimba ihlazo futhi wanquma ukuqhuba ukuhlolwa. Kwakufanele ayeke ukuthenga okungadingekile phakathi konyaka futhi athenge kuphela okudingeka kakhulu.
UMichelle uthi wacabanga ukuthi anabo mboleko, wayekwazi ukusebenzisa imali ngendlela angathanda. Ukukhangisa kujabulisa abantu futhi kugqugquzela kukho konke ukuthi injabulo idinga ukwenziwa lokhu noma lokho kuthenga. Isintu sisembuthanweni ovaliwe. Ukusebenza ubusuku nemini, sichitha imali ngezinto ezingadingekile kithi. Kuyiqiniso, ukwenqaba okuphelele kokusebenzisa imali kwakuyindlela yekhadinali, kepha waya kuyo, wagcina efundwe ukuhlela isabelomali.
Uhlu lwe-Trat Michel edingekayo lufakiwe: Ukudla, ukukhokha ifoni kanye ne-Intanethi, izinto zokuhlanzeka, izinkokhelo zempahla ebanjiswayo, izinkokhelo zosizo nosizo kubazali. Ngokusho kwakhe, ekuqaleni kwakunzima kakhulu. Kwesinye isikhathi wayefuna ukuphuza ubhiya futhi wehlise umoya, kepha wazigcina engaphuli.
Ngesikhathi sokuvivinya kwakhe okungajwayelekile, uMichelle waqonda ukuthi empeleni ayikwazi ukukhetha imikhiqizo. Kwavela ukuthi wachitha imali enkulu eqediwe nekhofi. Ngemuva kwalokho umfazi waqala ukuhlela imenyu futhi walungiselela isonto elizayo. Bona kanye nomyeni wakhe abajoyine isivivinyo engxenyeni yokudla, banciphise izindleko zemikhiqizo ngamaphawundi angamashumi amathathu nanye ngeviki.
UMichelle ususe izindleko zokuhamba ngokuphelele futhi wahanjiswa ngebhayisekili kuphela. Wahamba nsuku zonke ezosebenza, waze wamvakashela umfowabo ngesikhathi sokuzalwa kwendodakazi yakhe (amamayela angama-35). Ehlobo waya emshadweni wentombazane (amamayela ayi-125). Ekuqaleni, kwakunzima ukusonta izisekelo, kodwa wabe esejwayela. Ibhayisekili elivela emthwalweni ngokweqile laqala ukuhlukana, futhi uMichelle akazange ahlinzeke ngezindleko ezihambisana nokulungiswa. Waphoqeleka ukuba afunde ukulungisa ibhayisekili labo bebodwa.
Ngisho nakulo lonke leli holide, ibhayisekili lalikhonzwa njengokholo futhi liyiqiniso. Ngokokuqala ngqa, bona nomyeni wakhe bavuma ukumiswa okunjalo njengomjikelezo. Lo mbhangqwana uchithe isikhathi esimnandi, naphezu kweqiniso lokuthi isivivinyo saphuca ezinye zezinto ezithile. Isibonelo, baphoqeleka ukuba bageze ngamanzi abandayo, bagijimela emadolobheni futhi babheke izindlu zangasese zomphakathi. Baphinde baphoqeleka ukuthi bathenge ukudla ezitolo. Ngakho-ke khetha ama-chips namakhukhi amaningi.
Ngokusho kukaMichel, leli holide lalihamba phambili eminyakeni edlule. Bavakashele izindawo zasendle lapho imvelo ihlukaniswa ngobuhle bayo, futhi lapho izingcingo eziphathwayo zingabimbi khona inethiwekhi. Bafana kakhulu nalolu hambo olungajwayelekile abanqume ukuyiphindaphinda ngonyaka olandelayo. Kulokhu bazonakekela induduzo.
UPhumelele, owayengundunankulu waseshashalazini, akazange ahambe unyaka wonke noma yikuphi ukudlala. Wayephika njalo abangane bakhe abambizile ukuba baye endaweni yokudlela. Waphoqeleka ukuba avakashele ngezandla ezingenalutho, kodwa wathola indlela enhle yokubonga abanikazi bezokungenisa izihambi. Wayevakashela izitsha zensipho unyaka.
Ngokushesha lona wesifazane wabona ukuthi eLondon ungavakashela imicimbi eminingi yamasiko mahhala ngokuphelele. Uthole amasayithi ahlukahlukene asiza ukuthola amathikithi wamahhala ezenzakalweni ezahlukahlukene. UMichelle uthi ngonyaka wahambela imibukiso eminingi kangaka njengoba engazange aye kuyo yonke impilo yawo.
Kwakunamacala amabili kuphela onyakeni lapho uMichelle ephula khona imithetho. Uthenge amazambane athosiwe ngesikhathi somjikelezo obhujisiwe, futhi ukulahlwa kabusha kwemithetho okwenzekile kwenzeka lapho umakhelwane ebangela ukuba uphatheke ophahleni lulungise uphahla lwabo lonke. Akakwazanga ukukhokhela ingxenye yakhe.
Unyaka nje wayedingeka uMichel ukuze aqonde ukuthi impilo ejwayelekile abantu abangayidingi kangako. Wafunda ukuhlela kahle izindleko zabo futhi angakujabulela ukuvumelana nokufika okusha okumnikezayo.
Isilingo se-MICHELLI simsize ukuthi anciphise izindleko zawo kakhulu. Kwakha amaphesenti ayishumi wemalimboleko yempahla ebanjiswa ngaphambi kohlelo.
Lapho ehlanganyela izivivinyo zakhe kuwebhusayithi ye-Guardian, abafundi abaningi baqala ukumsola ngokuthi "ukucela ezokuvakasha." UMichel kula mazwana waphendula ngokuthi wenqaba ukuthenga hhayi ngesizathu sokuthi wayengenakwenzeka. Wenqabile ngoba wakuqonda ukuthi wayengenza ngaphandle kwalokhu kuthengile.
Lapho bebuza ukuthi wayenganele unyaka wonke, wathi akwanele izinto ezincane kangaka njenge-curry yangempela yamaNdiya, ukhilimu othambisayo, amakha. Kulolu hlu inikele ngebhasi. Uyayithanda ibhayisekili, kepha lokhu kuthuthwa akuhlinzekiwe ngesimo sezulu esinethayo nesibandayo.
Yonke i-michelle ejwayelekile iyazibuza ukuthi ingafuni yini ukugijima ekuthengeni ngemuva kwalokhu? Kepha, ngokusho kwakhe, ukuthanda ukuyothenga kwakumangalisa ngendlela emangalisayo.
Uthi kuphela ukuthenga izinto ezidingekayo, ngokwesibonelo, ama-sneaker, ama-jean alungisa ibhayisekili lakhe. Uyaphinde ahlele iqembu futhi abonge abangane bakho nezihlobo zokusekelwa okunikeziwe. Ngokulandelayo uzohambela umkhulu wakhe e-Ireland.
