Don't move if you have no real reason to, rather save what you can from your salary and invest in something (either a land or a business).

When your asset base is high...You can decide what next....if to expand in more avenues or move out.

Seriously. I'm just seeing 500k, 800k as someone's salary. Bachelor for that matter.

If it was self employment, I go understand. Well, they know better.

Sound impossible right?

Rextizzy:
I don't work for anyone, this year i learnt some skills and earn more than $2k/$4k monthly on my online business, so getting a good fully furnished apartment isn't a biggie to me.

Go and hustle instead of being a slave for a moderfvcker.

pls, what kind of skills

Jokerman:
Just paid for my apartment yesterday 300k per annum in Alapere, I and my fiancée would service the cost together .. That's 25k/month.

Is it a mini flat?

Funny enough I earn 200k average in my little business monthly but but I am still staying with a friend for free, planning to buy land here in oyo.
Although I will not pay more than 30k per annual apartment...
Modified, I just clocked 27 years....
I have better things to do with money. After all how many hours do I stay at house daily

Seriously finding it hard to believe. Unless they all work in oil companies or companies like KPMG and the likes.

like I said, they know better.

just reading comment.... work is yet to come

my immidiate superior where I work earns 1.8m per month

Ramanto:
I'm thinking of taking the bold step of moving out of my host's place and secure my own place, but the challenge is that, I'm not earning much at the moment (around 50k) .

I will like to hear from fellow Nairalanders, share your experience please. What are the challenges and benefits that come with living alone?
PS: I'm not comfortable here.

You can get a self con in a flat which usually ranges between #50 000-#100 000 depending on your location.

You can afford it. Living alone gives you some peace of mind and respect.

Welcomme:
My salary is 30k..Other hustles for the month is sometimes times two of my salary...Do the maths. My house rent is just 40k. A room self con.Cost of living is relatively low in my side here.

Which state is that ??

Don't allow your house rent to be more than your monthly salary

DCmonster:
#130000 a month salary, #48000 a year One room boys quarter apartment . I had to make sure I made 1200000 that year from my salary alone and I was glad I achieved it. Still living that selectively extravagant lifestyle till date. Making millions yearly and living moderately.

Pls is dia anyway I could work for u?

Nnamebuka:

400K/yr for a serviced apartment?
Where's that pls

Here in Abuja, any serviced apartment less than 2M/yr must be suffering from either epileptic power supply or poor security or unkept enviroment or all mentioned. I stayed in one I paid 1.6M two years ago but was meant to pay unnecessary dues all through the year(if it's not security, it's transformer or AEPB dues else dustbins will spill and smell).

Meanwhile a friend/colleague staying in 2M apartment was enjoying even free DSTV subscription every quarter as additional peck of his rentage. No be person told me to change the next year as I calculated all the monthly dues I paid and it amounted to 2.3M when added to my actual rent.

Na to build my own sure pass now. Can't buy all these poorly built apartments selling all around here relatively cheap though

Sir u seem to be doing well, I would appreciate any help you can give to me in terms of work or recommendation or anything at all. PS: I'm a fresh graduate

mitchyy:
40,000. I got a small apartment for N250,000 from my savings before i got married and moved out.

I could afford the apartment because i did side jobs. And these side jobs finally turned to my main hustle

230k.. My apartment costs about 500k total package. Now moving to one that costs 750k total package after just a year.. Annual rent will be 500k. May God help me

Lawmak:
Don't allow your house rent to be more than your monthly salary

Lol if this is the case many people will be homeless.. So if I earn 150k, my apartment must be 150 or less? Lol except you aren't in lagos

Nothing is impossible

Abeg gist boys things to do to make money, with less stress of course.

Mood11:
Well, presently my place costs about 200 Yearly.

My salary is same as yours. Though I have a side business which fetches me double of what I earn from time to time.. But I planned ahead and saved up before securing the apartment.

There's no set time for getting your own apartment. If you know you are not extravagant, you can spend on things of priority and cultivate a habit of saving. Also, look for a side hustle.

you are paying more than you are supposed to bro,, get a cheaper apartment bro

Of course nairaland is not for only jobless and broke people (no insults to them)...

There are quite a number of well to do peeps in here, who are active members. So you should expect to see a balanced view of opinions from these diverse social class.

my immidiate superior where I work earns 1.8m per month

And I'm sure he doesn't break any sweat to earn that money. He probably be sipping tea in his office while instructing subordinates what to do.
