Another great work by the Hive Learner's admin/moderators for organizing this contest. Going broke at some point in life is very common among many, because the economy situations of most countries keeps getting worse day by day.

For this article, I would be telling us about that one thing I would still go ahead to buy, regardless of how broke I get.

Life as we have observed is full of ups and downs (fluctuating nature), and that's why we see the life lines on hospital readings going up and down, crypto prices equally goes up and down, even our mood goes up and down (mood swings), lol.

What am trying to point out here is that we all go broke and below budget at one point or the other in our lives. But the question remains "what is that one thing we tend to always buy even when we get to that downward point of our lives financially?"

For many, this could be a necessity in their lives, and they must do it to continue living, while to others, this thing might be for fun or just their habit of spending. All the same, only you know the benefits that comes with that special thing.

Like the saying goes, "If you don't take your food as your medicines, you would take your medicines as your food". This small but powerful statement has been my motivator and watch words, as I prefer taking my food as medications rather than taking medications as my food.

With this thought in my mind, I wouldn't mind spending my last money on fruits that are beneficial to my health. I guess we all might have heard that saying "one Apple🍎 each day, can keep you away from the doctor".

This means that if we take in good and healthy substances into our bodies, they won't be a need to go to the hospital, as we wouldn't get sick.

I have made my research, and came to the realization that fruits are one of the healthiest substances or type of foods that can be taken into our systems for a better and happier living.

Knowing how beneficial fruits are to my health, I don't joke with it. Infact I tend to buy fruits almost everyday even with the last money on my disposal, because I have seen and observed how important it is.

Being healthy is as important (if not more important) than having money. That's why legend has it that health is wealth. It important to take good care of our health, because healthy people doesn't even know what God is doing for them.

By playing our part to stay healthier is very important, and saving up money for important occasion is no longer necessary, because nowadays, only being alive is enough special occasion already.

Fruits play important roles in maintaining a healthy lifestyle and improving my overall health and well-being. Fruits are packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that provide numerous health benefits.

They can help boost our immune system, improve digestion, and lower the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and obesity. This means that am less likely to fall sick, as I would be more capable of fighting off illnesses.

Fruits are equally a great source of fiber, which aids in digestion and helps keep me feeling full for longer. This can be especially beneficial in times when am trying to manage my weight. It also contain natural sugars, which are healthier alternatives to processed sugars found in many other foods and drinks.

By including a variety of fruits in my diet, I can ensure that am getting a wide range of nutrients and enjoying their natural flavors.

So, I make it a priority to incorporate fruits into my meals and snacks, even when I have a tight budget.

In times when we get broke, we tend to find the cheapest and most available assets to invest on. So it isn't a big surprise to me prioritizing fruits even when am broke, because fruits are very affordable and available in various types, forms, and sizes.

Although, some factors can affect the cost of fruits, especially when the fruit is out of it's season. For instance, I have been seeking to buy a very healthy fruit called Avocado🥑 for months now, but I am not seeing the fruit anywhere because it's not it's season.

To get fruits in very affordable ways, I always visit the closet local farm market in my area, where they are abundant of fruit produce and the competition is fierce. This way, I not only get the freshest fruits, I also get them in low budgets.

Buying fruits on a budget can be challenging, especially when prices can fluctuate and impact their affordability. Nevertheless, I still find a way to incorporate fruits into my daily diet, as it provides very important health benefits.

Thanks for your time here.
