Does Saving In Dollars Really Help Your Financial Life As A Nigerian ? by Synord(m): 1:51pm On Sep 07, 2022
A lot of people say saving in dollars is the only way to stay out of the poverty line in Nigeria .

Others insist saving in dollars isn’t enough, earning in dollars is more recommended .

This two notions is the major use case of many fintech startups in Nigeria today and the reason behind the “ Japa” wave of professionals and youths from Nigeria to western countries .

Must one really save or earn in dollars to live a comfortable life in Nigeria today . Considering the economic situation where one doesn’t even earn enough to save in naira , how does one achieve this save in dollars advise . Is it even suitable to begin with ?

Don't get it all wrong, saving in dollars will not get you out of poverty. It has never gotten anyone out.

Investing is what gets you out of poverty.

The purpose of saving in dollar is not necessarily to get you out of poverty, the objective is to protect the value and purchasing power of your money so it does not become eroded by depreciation of the Naira

I came to realize that saving in dollars does not protect store of value especially when there is local inflation

I might save $500 to protect myself against inflation in a DA in Gt bank, but what happens when I need that money for local consumption?, I noticed that when converted to naira, the value also decreases because of inflation

how about if I use my $500 to buy something online, with the rate of inflation in the US and other countries, I will have to spend more to get what I want.

i think the best way to protect your dollar is to make it work for you through investment, it is also similar logic for naira. Just saving money destroys it value

It really does. Easily in fact. My top reasons for saving in it are - Its a global currency, so its value remains more than it depreciates... It saves cost especially if you conduct a lot of international transactions.
