Most companies impose themselves on our budget.

Most companies impose themselves on our budget. For example for safaricom we constantly have to buy airtime and bundles from them.When I started imposing myself in their budget by buying shares and expecting dividends, it changed my perspective on how I look at companies and brands I frequently use.

That's a good way to look at it. I remember once someone saying it is crazy how many iphones we may brag to own but then untill you also buy their shares every year, each iphone you buy becomes a loss.
