An average good life for singles, minimum of 300k..
When married with 1 kid, at least 1M family income should be fair

Just as some thinking people have been saying, no amount is actually enough, but I earned 200k a month, I am married and my wife is not working.
I recently saved up and bought a car of around 2.3m naira, I have a plot of land with moderate building on it. I think I am not doing bad at all cheesy
No you are doing just fine. Let's all be realistic, the answer depends on a lot of factors.

The system in Nigeria is not working, even if you are paid 500k. No security, no good road, no electricity and many more.

Things are getting worse everyday in Nigeria and high salary is not the solution.

If Nigeria becomes habitable, an average salary can sustain.
u ar right oh

smiley actually, where I am currently working is not where my personal building is and I did not start working yesterday! I built my house about four years ago and bought my car about two years ago (I saved for a year plus for the car!).
Where I am working now, I stay in a rented flat of about 120k per year and ironically, in the same town you can get an apartment of exactly the same specification for 250k per year and many of my colleagues stay in such sad

It depends on the state you are in... In Lagos, Abuja, PH and some high cost states, #500k is ok. Then in other low cost states, 250-300k is ok.

From my calculations, I agree with you especially for the high cost states

Re: How Much Salary Is Enough For Good Living In Nigeria by idtwo: 6:34pm On Jul 18, 2021
I suppose you have other source(s) of income though, or were you able to achieve all these with 200k per month?

How much is your rent?
Do you have kid(s)?
How much do you save up monthly for the car and land?
Do you get other income aside your salary?
Lastly, what year did you start saving for the car and land and when were they purchased?

Please be honest with your answers, we want to learn financial management from you sir.
