Breakdown of how I am surviving
transport 6k i.e 300 x 20 days (I go to work 5 times in a week)
Feeding 18,600k i.e 600 x 31 days (I eat morning and night) you can
Accommodation 10k (I pay 120k for a year)
Total is about 35 k and I pay 2k for my health insurance
I drink occasionally.
You can only save if you cook your food and stay with squat with someone.
It means you can never help a family member even at the point of death since there is no budget for it.

You can list as many obscure countries as you like, there is no country in europe where earning 100 euro a month is anything to survive on let alone live like a star. That is poverty properly defined

Why not, he/she can survive. But, that will depend on some other critical factors e.g; nature of place of residence (a remote, suburb and/or illegal locality), no dependant, no utility bills etc.

Bro, pls give me the almighty formula!


kindklemz:



You certainly don't know Abuja.
How much do you think all those doing cleaning job earns in Abuja?
What about the security guy meaning the gates of companies, the hoteliers?
These guys mostly earn less than 30k.
But hey, they are doing just fine, some have kids.

I know peeps earning 20k that still can afford to have girl friends.

40k will do and you will still have some to save.

Welldone bro... You gave me a good laugh for the weekend ... Drop your contact here make I follow make you smile.




Elnida:


the 30k is not every month Na..the remaining 11 months will definitely differ.. another way of cutting cost is merging with someone and paying the rent like 15k+15k,feeding & bills. the only left to do as an individual is T-fare.the word merge should be a familiar one for MMM participants cool

Hi Nlanders,

Manyyyyy are living there with less....and they're not homeless.

But you will buy water, clothes, slippers, stuff in your room, internet subscription, barb hair, phone. toiletries, NEPA bill, repairs etc na

Just admit you get stuff from relatives too jor

How I survive is a mystery to me. To be honest, since I left home after service I have never asked for one naira from my parents, rather I sent some money to them for Christmas, though I was staying with a cousin when I came to abuja, I have to rent my own house when he told me he wants to marry and his wife was coming to stay with him. Till today he still never marry and the girl never come, though he told me after he heard that I have rented my own house that he will not marry the girl again.

I dont pray for that, but my family knows I dont have a good paying job for now. So they dont demand from me.

kubwa cheap?

hell no except you are referring to kubwa village market axis.banzago pipeline byzahin axis.

Yes....kubwa village/ pipeline axis ..not those Federal housing area or those estates. I'm just viewing it that one can start from one of those areas and move to better areas after some times.
If not for those villages in Abuja, people would have packed their loads out of Abuja cos of high cost of accommodation. You know what I mean na......... grin; D;

I earn 40k and i live in Abj but i am gonna show you how i survive.
1. I dont compare myself with other people
2. I stay at Jahi very close to my workplace and my annual rent is 100k (very conducive environment though i'm lucky in this aspect)
3. TP to my work place to and fro is #200 and as such #4,800 in a month i work for six days in a week
4 I buy foodstuff and other miscellaneous expenses of 10k to 15k depending on what is not available per month ( But i must confess that things are very difficult now with the daily hike in the prices of food stuff so i had to spend more to around 20k now per month.)
5. i save about 15 to 20k monthly from wich i pay my rent whenever it is due but i am really looking for a better pay Job to save decently so i can marry wink
6. I dont womanize.
This is exactly what I meant!
