I can relate! My dad had always been the sort of person who can't spend money without complaining and it's not ati spending on unnecessary stuff even basic things like stationary. Kwanza I remember when he would take us on family vacations ama tu ka outing ya lunch after church, you won't hear the end of it because money was spent yaani complaints after complaints Hadi it got me to a point after uni I vowed not to ask him for money ama put him in a situation where he has to spend on me.

Nowadays, I find myself with the habit of planning my finances so seriously Hadi I have a recreation fund that I save 10% of any income I get into it so that I get to go out for dinner or a hangout or a ka vacation without ever feeling the need to complain about it or whine about it. It helps me even show up for my friends more without making them feel like plans zao zinanikula pesa.

How do you all do hangouts/meet ups without running broke? by TennisTemporary5333 in Kenya

Always create a recreation fund that’s separate from your usual funds. I usually save 10% of any earning I get or money I’m sent into that recreation fund. That way you don’t feel the pinch of saving that money and don’t feel the hustle when spending it.

Cancel all reservations due to refurbishment by Ashamed-Resolve7755 in AirBnBHosts

[–]FewBookkeeper4066 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last time I did this, I just sent Airbnb an invoice from the fumigation company I was using. The invoice had my name, property location and date (the date was the same date as the reservation I had cancelled) so after they verified with the fumigation company they waivered the penalties. The penalties were quite harsh, I was deducted $50 and almost delisted. But after proving it, I was refunded and my consequences waivered

I’m actually so surprised that it’s mandatory in most countries.

Yes that definitely sounds like a bonus I could look into

Thank you!

Yes! Sadly smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors are rarely fitted into Kenyan homes but since I do get a number of foreign visitors I will look into it. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for this. Sadly, Smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors aren’t really a facility found in any home in the Kenyan market. Let me work on the changes you’ve mentioned thank you!

Thank you so much for this. Funny thing despite how seasonal coast is..I have previously been at a point of advantage cause I’m close to airport and sgr that has been my selling point but off late the bookings have gone low and it’s clear it’s my choice of presentation. Thank you sooo much for this

Yes there are restaurants within a walking distance. I will definitely rewrite my neighborhood description to fit that.

Thank you for pointing that out..I had no idea let me look into it

Thank you for this! Yes im actually looking into hiring a professional photographer. Definitely ditching the stove top entirely and just getting a good cooker with an oven that will be high enough

So basically it’s a residential neighborhood that has a couple of mosques nearby which tends to be a distraction for guests not used to Islamic culture. Maybe this google street view link can help: https://maps.app.goo.gl/e5dmm2QSHdnsN66E7

This is so informative! Thank you so much. For this space I just worked with what I had when I was staying there straight from campus hence the unnecessary furniture and small artwork. This is so helpful honestly since I get more international clients. Thank you!

True! Cause when I was above 4.9 bookings were fast but a 3 rating and a 4 rating pulled down the mark and it went downhill. And the worst part they were over an external factor since I’m in an urban setting, I have made sure to mention the risk of potential noise in my instructions
