If you can get N30K per month - guaranteed, after taxes, from your "side hustle", then I don't see why that wouldn't be enough for you to live on even with a N70k per rent. You just need to manage your budget well.

The keyword being: Guaranteed N30K per month tho.

Greetings family-landers, I'm having this issue which has been bordering me, I finished service last year, recently got an online side hustle which gives me 30k per month.

And at 26,I'm no longer comfortable staying at home with my parents, I can't hang out late with my friends without my parents drowning my phone with calls, as early as 8.pm at night the calls will start flowing as if I'm a customer care agent. (really frustrating)

Almost all my guys are living on their own, and to make matters worse, I can't receive any female visitor cos of my religious parents and lack of privacy.

On the flip side, I'm scared if a 30k monthly salary can be enough for a guy who wants to rent and probably furnish a self-con of 70-80k per year. (I'm not the extravagant type)

I've never lived alone so I'm really confused if I should make this move at this point in my life.

Guys who are living on their own, what's your take on this?

zicoraads:

Yups, apply for a regular job. I have one and two others. And I'm hoping to add that writing too, especially now that I'm free.

When I moved into mine, I only had a GOTv and a 32 inch TV.

You mustn't have a fridge and all. There is a thread on Nairaland about home clearance sales. I've seen really cheap and good items there. So you can start from there.

Whats d name of d thread?

Read up my post again but this time gently, I have all what it takes to leave my fathers house even at age of 18yrs but I never left not because o any other thing. Am not talking as a boy or giving rubbish advise but my advise was based on his reasons which is keeping friends, late night outings and inability to bring in girls. His parent can't tell him not to have girlfriend at at 26years in fact a 25years old man who's capable of providing for his family should go and get married. No responsible parent will allow his child bringing in all sorts of women home anyhow and no responsible parent will encourage their child to keep late night outings like partying, clubbing and all sorts. if its due to work or other reasons, he can leave but based on his aforementioned reasons then he's not on the right path

As at 24 when I left my father's house, my parents wouldn't have stopped me from bringing a girlfriend to the house; but out of respect for my parents, I didn't do it cos 2 captains cannot be in one ship. And just FYI, desiring to be able to receive a female visitor doesn't automatically mean "wanting to bring all sorts of girls home." We shouldn't be quick to conclude and judge people.

Again at 24 , my friends were mainly bank workers who closed quite late and the only times we could hangout or sit for a drink was from 7pm. First of all, sitting out with my friends till 9 or 10 or even 12pm doesn't make me an irresponsible person, and neither does hanging out with friends in a club overnight once in a while also automatically make me an irresponsible person. At the time, I may have loved to hangout very often, but I knew my parents were naturally not comfortable with it (parents will always be parents), so for that reason, I always limited the number of my sit outs to say, once per week. I also always had to disappoint my friends by being the first to bail out to get home by 9 or before 10; and this was out of respect for my parents.

At that time in my life, it was only natural for me to desire to be on my own so as to have a bit more freedom and also to stop stressing my dear parents. Now reading through the Op's story, I don't see how I'm different from him and I obviously don't see how wanting to be able to be out till 10pm once in a while or receiving a female guest makes me an irresponsible person.

All that really matters is what Chrissy Teigen and Mila Kunis believe. Let's wait for their analysis before we jump to conclusions.

Sir I am a woman and when I moved out of my parents home I was working in Mr Biggs as a attendant that serves meals

I was earning 25k and staying alone and slept on the floor. I was saving small small. I ate once a day to maintain my figure and I also sent some money to my grandma in the village

Nothing wrong with that and at your age too. But ensure you do not take freedom for liberty to do what you want and how you want it. Make you parents proud by not over stepping boundaries and have them being called upon for one negative thing you have done. my take.

You think you can form independent cause of that 30k per month abi? All you have highlighted as problems are just your youthful exuberance. Your parents haven't called you lazy or useless, still feed you. But no, you want to hangout with friends until 1am and carry slay queen feminists up and down.

Better wakeup and go hustle for yourself

Na with your 30k you wan use stay with woman PRIVATELY?

Finally, someone who has been in a similar situation, few days ago, I was on a sweet lovely date with one Chica bonita, Before I could say Jack, calls had started flowing in... SMH.

Talking about properties, first of all, My target is a room self-con, can't afford two rooms, and one room face me I face you is a total turnoff for me.

I already Have a mattress, I envisage it's mostly electronics and fridge that I will have to save for.

With Side hustles like playing musical instruments and writing yielding about 40k monthly, I Still plan to apply for a regular job.

And if there's vacancy for the company I write for, I'll sure notify you

Take that writing to fiverr and you will raise it to over 120k per month with serious hard work and determination.

na 30k de shak u like this.

Your parents are doing what they're supposed to do, and you're here lamenting. Go and ask those without parents and they'd tell you they wish they have someone to look after them like your parents are doing to you.


Just obey your parents and quit being spongy.

BABA i can relate with you on so many levels.
however, you are going to have to endure for sometime
30k a month wont cut it. Don't know if you are even able to save anything at the end of the month
keep hustling for a better job, and, why don't you just stay at home and expand your online hustle, instead of going out and receiving calls like a call center agent

By the way, please i am looking for any online hustle that can help me make money. Can you help a brother?

thanks

Pocohontas, it's time he learnt how to start being a man gradually. Guy, swallow your pride. Draw up your plan and use some time to save up and then move to your own apartment. You may have to look for a better paying job though, cos the bills wud start mounting once you on your own.

Guy grow up and stop this your myopic reasoning, this is 2018.

you are suppose to understand the angle I am coming from. How can she be comparing her situation to the guys own.Our environment has soft spot for women hustling, for me I can't count the ladies I give money for free without demanding anything from them.Moreover she has boyfriends that assist her.
