I picked Maybe later, mostly because it feels easiest to live with. I keep a note about investing for exactly this reason.

Excellent timing; I was just thinking about nairobi. I used to overcomplicate this constantly.

I picked Only with help, mostly because it feels easiest to live with. My friend tried it in Lagos and had the opposite result.
