This guy sef. 85k plus side hustle doesn't pay your bills. And you are just 26 and single.
Brotherman, you have a problem with managing money and that is what you need to work on.

Forget about all this ur ''I want to travel out. I want to do this do that but no money. Everybody has an idea of one thing or the other they want to do but finance is the challenge.

Work on what you are spending money on.

Let me advice you as an elder brother, when i was ur age i earned 30k had to cut my clothes according to clothes. At ur age i guess u are not married, u only mention ur siblings. The stage you are is called the trying stage dont quit now because everything happening in your workplace happens to taste and build don't focus on the negativity find a message in everything around you. Dnt give up a door is about to be open. Patience is a virtue remember.

Your mindset bro.

Work on it.

I was in a similar scenario November 2014. Sacked from a 60k monthly outsourced bank job.

I didn't start business with any form of capital. Not even a dime.

Today, I pay myself 300k minimum monthly.

I am my own Boss. I intend to triple my income starting from December.

I changed my mindset. You too can.


Please how where you able to achieve that? I want to learn. Or should I chat you privately

[/b]If you are not grateful for what you have, then you are not qualified for the next. Gratitude opens up the universe; it creates more vistas for life chances.[b]

I work with a completely deranged expatriate that is as toxic as ammonium nitrate. Yet every morning, I thank God for the opportunity. I have decided to brush off any nasty behaviour he exhibits.

Keep looking out for better opportunities. That toxicity present therein will teach you endurance and patience which you'll surely need someday.

Above all, pray for better opportunities and listen to God for feedbacks. He'll guide to the next level of your life.

You can quit if you think the place is too toxic for you to bear, your mental health is ias important as your physical health. Good life is not by size of salary but by your cerebral equilibrium. Your being happy is greater.

I understand your fear, but believe me your provision is not in your hand nor in anybody. Fear is the reason why many people are not progressive. Though to get a 85k job in this period is luck and connections

Though it may hard after the resignation, if you are determined and believe, better life is ahead. I advise you to stay on the job and expand your side hustle. You can resign to the side hustle and make it bigger.
Re: I Need Your Advice by ppogba: 7:05pm On Nov 05, 2021
It's either of these two things. Either this guy wants to catch Cruise on Nairaland or he is like a fellow who holds a rope with which he.wants to commit suicide and is now asking whether he.should go ahead.

My friend,. resign and see that the Lord is good.
Re: I Need Your Advice by 77up(m): 7:06pm On Nov 05, 2021
Leaving that job untill you get another job will be the greatest mistake ever in your life considering the current situation in the country.

As long as the gossip and the cold war or whatever do not stop your monthly salary.

You are still 26 - single. You have a job and a side hustle. You are doing much better than a lot of your age mates and some married men, and all you could think of is to complain?

You want to now quit your job of 85k/month because of gossips??

Bros, you get problem oh! Moreso, you are a big time ingrate!!

He is not an ingrate.

When one choose his / her sanity over money here. You guys see it as insanity.

He chose his peace. He who wears the shoe, knows where it itches.

Hi,

Thank you for making out time to view my thread. I'm hoping I can get an advice from you.

I'm a 26 Years. I work in a company that pays me 85K NGN monthly.

The salary isn't paying my bills in any way, the company isn't productive, I feel stuck and limited each time I go to work. Also, the environment is toxic with gossips, cold wars, etc.

I've been applying for jobs elsewhere but I keep getting rejected. I've adjusted my CV several times but still the same.

I'm considering resigning even though I don't have another job offer yet but I fear my debts. I have some side hustles I use to support my monthly earnings but I fear it may not be enough to pay my debts monthly and fend for myself, siblings, and family generally.

The whole thing is making me lack motivation but I still try to be up for my family.

I want to travel out of the country and search for better opportunities but my resources are limited at the moment.

I have some skillsets, I'm considering venturing into entrepreneurship but I don't have the required capital to get started

I don't know what to do.

Kindly advise me on what to do. I'd appreciate it.

Do not resign from ur job without a backup person/people or backup plan. It’s will get very difficult.

If u are the one supporting ur family and not ur family supporting u don’t even think of it.

U are also supporting ur siblings?? Then the decision won’t affect only u bt them.

Don’t resign without a well thought out and rehearsed plan that will or is already providing enough to keep u going till u are lucky to get another job.

U are not at work to make friends or socialize so try and focus on the job and leave the dramas.

My candid advice is for you to hold on to 85K NGN monthly job and side hustles till you are financial resource to travel out. You would get a better paying job latter on in life by God's grace

The guy is deceiving himself about traveling out and you seem to be urging him on in his self deceit. If traveling out is that easy, Nairaland will go extinct.

Leave him, he doesn't know there is poverty and hunger in the land.

Mad max - we don't need another hero!

maureensylvia:
Lol

You're funny, do you know how many people that wishes to be in your shoes despite the constant yabbings.

NIGERIA is not a place where mental is paid much attention to, you don't even have a job at hand to hold on after you quit and you're thinking of resigning.

And if you don't get a job and live in debts na there you go see more insults.

I see you're soft, toughen up bro!

If they gossip about you. Gossip about them back. Omo ehn...this life is fire for fire.

When I was serving (NYSC) in a school. The other teachers started gossiping about me. When I found out, na Principal Office we settle am. Omo see war.

They man carrying the gossip later apologized to me right there.

Las Las Sha...I still comot for the school after two weeks and I got reposted to a better school with good Accommodation and lesser workload.

Truly everything happens for a reason.
Re: I Need Your Advice by armyofone(m): 7:24pm On Nov 05, 2021
Op,

Don't ever leave that job - unless you already have a new job offer and your start date is tomorrow.

Develop tough skin at work. Don't listen to the gossiping coworkers. Put on your headphone and listen to quiet music to manage the office noise.

Read a book and bring that big psychology textbook to read at work - try feign " busy"
