serving and saving in some states is really difficult... like rivers state where the cost of living is really high, but thats not an excuse that one should not save. i pay a tithe of 2k and another 2k for rural rugged evangelism, and i make use of d rest. God has been faithful to me.

[b]YOU MUST BE A LEARNER its money that been paid to copper's

Its very possible u can save, as a matter of fact I save 19000 every month and am still doing it till june my POP. I only make use of my 5k state alawi.

Though I'm not a Corper yet (13A) to be precise.. But saving from #19,800 can be achieved cos when I was in school.. I bought things in Bulks and Wholesale cos getting stuff with a retail price can be annoying and U won't know until U spent 50, 100 or more buying maggie, salts, soaps and many among others cos wen 10 has bin removed 4rm 1000, d 1000 bcum Useless. Like some have said.. DISCIPLINE counts a lot...
I can save up to 15K per Month n I will still eat good food.. Shikena

I served in the days of 7,500. Still I saved. I still did my personal C D from it. So, it is very possible. Just be disciplined with your finances. You are just a corps member. So live like one. Not the other way round.

By the Grace of God, I am a prospective 13A corp. When I was in school, UNIBEN, my mother gives us N2000 alawee for two of us to feed for two weeks. I can even save the complete N19500 alawee and depend on state allawee with extra change to spend for flexing.

My LI takes 8K while i take the rest...I don't have time for the nonsense CDS,PPA,Clearance,etc... So i believe that it is better for me to make use of my skills to find a better job before i finish my NYSC...Conquer (unemployment) before you get Conquered (by unemployment)

bukahands: I spend 4,800 and save the rest

How ?? Pls let's hear.

ndizzle:
U most have served in a village Wer u Wer given free food n free f*ck.may be u Wer a teacher in a secondary school.a corp member should not be subjected to death in other to serve his or her mum*u nation.mtschew!!!!

You must be one of those people who live above their means!
Being a teacher has nothing to do with managing available resources as a corper.
The earliest corpers receved only N300 a month and they survived.
Most corpers get posted to the hinterlands anyway.

I quite agree with you
Corpers should live like corpers.

U are a learner bcs u r crossing a T junction b4 actually gettind to the main road!

Naijastomosis: Depending on the lifestyle you want to pursue, a corper should not have any problem living on N19,000 a month.

Corpers are accommodated and do not have to bother about utility bills.

You are not expected to embark on any project; only take care of yourself.

If you serve in a rural area, food should be cheap.

Do not buy what is not necessary

Spend less time on the phone. Drink only occasionally.

Are u from Cameroon?

Sir Jonse:

Are u from Cameroon?

He is surely from BURUNDI. Not in this country called Naija

It depends on where u re serving. You dont expect some1 serving in abj nd spends 400 on transport evriday he goes to work, thats 2k a week (assumin u dnt go anywhere durin d weekend) nd 8k a month on jst transportation b4 u talk of any other tin, to save as much as 10k a month? u can save more money or low money dependin on where u re posted nd ur ppa.
