that number two is so true. spending more on your needs than your wants is essential. also draw up a budget and not going above what is planned. with this, a low income earner can survive anywhere that is not necessarily lagos. 1 Like |

In any big city.....it is always very expensive. Low income earners.... doesn't matter if they walk to work...will always be barely making it...very little extra for anything else. You walk to work....you have to buy shoes more often...back to square one. A side hustle is a must . 2 Likes |
