I don't even think this question is necessary.

Of all things that would require you spend money, TP at least from your abode to work and health care is the only thing that is fixed you can't directly influence how much you spend. Every other spending depends on you, you are the one to decide how you spend on them. So cut your coat according to your size.

The people who earn 50k and 500k both rent.
The people that earn 50k and 500k both cook something in their pots.
The people who earn 50k and 500k both wear clothe.

And so it goes.

Most definitely how much they spend on what I cited is different, do you know why?

Any amount would do you. Live like someone who earns 150k that's all.

How can a single person manage a 150k salary job in lagos. Considering house rent and a lot of expenses that are high here in lagos??

I need your input guys!!!


While you work in Lagos, spend your salary in Ogun State grin grin grin
It's easy to figure out, an you dey earn am, an you dey spend am. There is no advice here that can match your lifestyle, as you are theonly person who "know you" better.

First off, don’t rent apt that two months of your salary can’t pay for

Instead of eating outside, spend 30k buying food stuff like beans, rice, garri, spaghetti and, get small fridge and always store prepared foods, you don’t have to buy clothes you won’t wear, I believe you have enough clothes to wear Monday to Friday, exception of weekend, you may buy clothes once in a long while, its all about what works for you not what people want to see

Create an bank account you don’t touch no matter what and be putting little foods into, like 20k monthly, If you drink I don’t know how much you wan spend weekly, but be wise about that

As a single struggling guy man, leave girl matter alone oo, occasionally take your self out or hang out with man dem you can’t spend above 20k and you will be satisfied, as long as na your fellow guy men, because my type of friends are the ones that don’t leave bills for one person to carry, Wetin remain,??

Don’t depend on one source of income, learn skills, sha find multiple source of income

Then cost of transportation to work should be factored in, depends on how close or far out your place of work is

all this advice for who is earning 150k?wetin make who dey earn 50k with children do

Your Rent Should not exceed 400k annually, cut cost by buying foodstuff in bulk at Food Market, save cost on transportation by leaving home very early(mobility are cheaper by then, though very risky), have a savings of 50k monthly.
Someone to be paying a rent of 400k & have savings of 50k monthly on top 150k salary in this present day Nigeria? Him no go chop, transport & pay bills? If he is able to reach 20k savings monthly, it means he is over trying.

He can not even save at all in Lagos if he has to spend that much on rent, he will even have to be borrowing some months when bill payment and family responsibilities exceed his pocket

It's easy infact you are a millionaire with such earning.
The simple trick is (1) Look for a family man with 50k-100k monthly wage and fit in you will be left with huge saving.
(2) Put yourself on salary scale of 40k-70k and let that 150,000 be your monthly earning assuming you are an entrepreneur because if you earn 150k in a month as an entrepreneur you definitely will not consider the entire 150k your salary it is out of it you will pay yourself salary.
Bottom line is be Smart and be enterprise.

That all the time cooking in Lagos as a working class is exhausting brotherly. It kills you slowly coupled with the stress, even me that I'm a lady I'm tired of cooking. Even weekend or off days bulk cooking is not easy cos that's when u av to rest. Lagos is jungle
gabicon:


There are 3 things that consume ones earnings in Lagos. The first is transportation, next is accomodation, the last is consumption & entertainment. If possible live in close proximity to your job, if spend less than 10% of your earnings on transportation, you are way ahead of the curve. For accommodation you can cut cost by getting shared living space, that way utilities and other associated accomodation cost is shared. Lastly, you will have to cook your own meals, especially the meals you eat during work periods, things like clubbing, chilling at a bar or hanging out with friends have to be severely moderated.

Guy #150k monthly salary in naija is not bad at all...how many people earn that?
If you be earning that amount,you can do a lot and still save...in 5months,if you can manage to save #100k,you will have #500k. Not that much but if you know what to do,you are good to go.

True. Mainland is congested, hence the stress is toooooo much
akpumping7720:

No be lie my brother. But one thing I discovered about island is if you are used to the lifestyle, you will never want to live on the mainland again. Even if you want to relocate, your plan will never be to go back to mainland rather travel out of the country or Abuja.
