Your brother is going to be a dangerous spender if u guys don't manage him very well.

During my schools days,I made it a point of duty to to eat twice a day. I will take tea and cabin biscuits in the morning for lectures while I eat strong fufu in the afternoon and a enough water after wards.

At the end of my 5years course,I saved some good money after graduation.

See,that money I saved then,was what I used to invest and after a long years...I have duplicated it to 88million naira today.

I hate to see people who usually eat their future upfront. It is not always rosy after graduation.

Tell ur brother not to live big on campus,tomorrow will demystify all his actions.

The money is even too much for such a young man like him.

Sir..please bless me with 5k let me use and stock my house with garri against Saturday...abeg

we buy him foodstuffs and textbooks separately
So the 100k na just pocket money

Do it monthly.

My parents placed me on a monthly upkeep. So, no matter how I spend, I dare not call home for money until that month ends. And because of that, I learnt to manage.

30k a month should be okay. 40k a month is you guys being generous.

Good morning fams,

Hope you guys are good?
Please can someone survive on a 10k weekly pay in this country?
What prompted me to ask this question is because our last born…during my days in school,we survived on a 30k in Esut and this was allowance apart from foodstuffs and textbooks and this was just 2016.
I use to take food stuffs when going back to school.
But our last born (brother) who is still in 100 level can’t survive with 100k for a semester….
We do give him food stuffs and money for textbooks separately…
He just called our mother that he is out of cash…dy no born am well to call me sha…
me and my immediate young brother want to place him on a weekly pay instead of monthly/semester…..what do you guys think?

He is spoilt...

He has to learn to manage
U guys give him foodstuffs, money for handout separate..

Here's how you will ration his spending

First of every month give him 15k from that let him refill his gas, and use the rest for his. Upkeep.
That should last him for 2weeks If he manages the money well.

On the 3rd week send him 8k or 10k that he will manage till the end of the month.

As long as he has foodstuffs i fondo see why he won't cope,let him understand hes in school to study and not to gallavant.

Back then when I was in lasu I sorted all my needs my self including school fees, even I did some crazy food combos 😂 when there was nothing .. noodles spice boiled up and eaten with eba.. did this because I had to change meal when I took garri for straight 4days ...well thank God that phase is over

if he eats out then it is not enough at all. i know a friend that eat out he spend 3k on food daily thats 21k weekly and 84k for month depending on the month involved. although we convince baba to buy stuff and cook so he was able to save some. if that the case of your bro then 10k is small i.e if he is not cooking at all. if he is cooking then it is fine

It can be managed at least for consumption. The inflation in the country is so bad that if you want to cater for extra things like make sense clothing and comfortable accommodation, you have to earn more.
Re: Can You Survive On A 10,000 Weekly Pay? by Onyechejoy: 3:50pm On Feb 21, 2023
Your brother is enjoying.

My siblings in school don't even expect anything once they have foodstuffs.

Come and see Joy when you manage to send them 10k.

You guys should just neglect him for some time, so he would understand how difficult it is with life.

If you continue giving him money every week, it can corrupt and affect his future, because he would find it hard to manage finance.
Re: Can You Survive On A 10,000 Weekly Pay? by thuxzwda1: 3:54pm On Feb 21, 2023
give him 1k daily.......that's 7k weekly it should be enough......or else you want him to be a reckless spender

Re: Can You Survive On A 10,000 Weekly Pay? by Shawl001(m): 4:18pm On Feb 21, 2023
Bro,
During my days in school,
That 10k was like a month pocket money for me. I usually get say at most 3k for a week. Yes, aside foodstuffs.

I know things are quite different now. However, no matter how different things get, 10k a week is more than enough.
He should be able to save tokens from it still.

God bless your brother.
