December is a time for celebration and merriment in Kenya, but for many, it also brings a sense of recklessness and overspending. For Kamene Goro and Andrew Kibe, hosts of the Morning Conversation on Kiss FM, December is a time to confess their personal weaknesses.
According to Kibe, his weakness in December is indiscipline. He revealed that he often has a plan to go home, but with just one SMS, he can be swayed from his original direction.
"My weakness in December is indiscipline. I usually have a plan to go home but with just one SMS it can take me away from the set direction." - Andrew Kibe
Kamene Goro, on the other hand, confessed that her weakness is overspending. She admitted that she easily spends a lot of money in December, often relying on the mentality that January will sort itself out.
"I spend a lot. My daily spend is on holidays. I usually have the mentality that January will sort itself out. It takes a lot of effort and compromises to earn all this and live this kind of life." - Kamene Goro
Kibe expressed surprise at Kamene's ability to afford a luxurious lifestyle at her age, saying that he could not afford such a lifestyle when he was her age.
"I am surprised you at 27 years and can afford these things at this age. Now is when I can afford to live this life. But the advantage is you do not have a child because with a kid you cannot afford to do all these things. For me, all I am thinking off is you have to please these little devils." - Andrew Kibe
It seems that Kenyans are not alone in their December weaknesses, as many have taken to social media to confess their own struggles with overspending and recklessness during the festive season.
