On A 40k Salary, How Much Would Be Considered Okayish Allowance To Your Mom..... by Baldwretch: 1:51pm On Jan 30, 2021
whom you live with.

I live with my mom. Late 20s.

If you were in my shoes and you earn 40k, 3k transport, eat only once, sometimes you would not eat for four straight days.

You earn on the web but it is not consistent. Sometimes $50 in three months and sometimes nothing sef.

If you were in my shoes, how much would you give your mom who is divorced and whom you live with. She sells provision.

Nothing since she sells provision. From what you said, you are not even earning anything. 40k and still talking about giving your mom who is self-employed?

Yes, but suppose you were me, I'm not going to talk about my own spending habits or her bad attitude, but suppose you were me, what would you give her knowing full well that her separation was more her fault than dad's

Exactly, just make sure at least take good care of her in your own little way. Her spirit will surely lift you up.

I want to know what would be considered okay. It is going to be different by individuals but let me know what you would give if you earn 40k and live with your mom or do not live with mom or mom lives with dad who provides her needs and she doesn't have to pay rent as she now does.

These conditions are different obviously and the amount would also differ too, right?

What would you give. I am not going to tell what I give yet, I want to hear genuine opinions because right now, she's saying I do almost nothing for her because of my spending habits.

I understand your situation of wanting to help out, but you need to consider your condition first...

Have you ever seen a blind man leading a blind man?

No!

You need to get your finances in check first before you can support your mom, else you'll keep living from hand to mouth, surviving from day to day, and running around in circles.

Yes that's right because if you do the maths, that's less than 1, 500 in a day. If you can't give me exact amount, give me a percentage range. What would you give.

5k I can't give more than that because there might some cases where you'll need to drop cash in the house

Wait if shes the one feeding you and you are still staying with her that isn't much, considering you are paying house rent and you are eating outside everyday then calculate that for 30 days But you probably need to also save up, so the money might not be on that same level always

No, what you just said is borderline misogyny.

However, my mother is too entitled. Everytime (when she's in a call) she would say may we eat the fruit of our labou. Before I got this job, see talk hehe

. Like her entitlement mentality is way over the top that I once swore that even with my bald head, the woman I would marry would beg me with tears of blood. Some people are just horrible.

If you eat therr and don’t pay rent, it’s right for you to drop something monthly. Not only that, if things finish for house, you can buy without looking at anyone’s face. This shows sign of responsibility because if you were on your own, you’d spend more than that. I used to stay with my mom until almost 2 years ago when i left.Then I earned 35k but gave her 5k monnthly. I planned myself around 30k every month.It just depicts responsibility

Re: On A 40k Salary, How Much Would Be Considered Okayish Allowance To Your Mom..... by kalu61(m): 2:42pm On Jan 30, 2021
ops let me help you since almost nobody wants to attend to you.

Forget the online business since it's not consistent.

Now you earn 40k -3k Tfare. ( 37k)

You said you eat once a day( l guess from your mum's pot) then sometimes you can go 4 days straight without eating( I guess from your mum's pot)

Let me assume you buy your toiletries, cream, data, cloths, shoes etc 8k (29k)

Let's say you save 15k monthly. (14k)

Miscellaneous 3k (12k)

pocket money 4k (8k)

But you live under your mum's roof and Nepal bill

Giving her 5-8k is okay.


But it seems there is part of you that hates her which is affecting your affection towards her. If not, nothing is too big for your mum. If there is, increase your savings and find another place.

Lastly, if your mum's is accusing you of over spending, forget your hatred towards her and evaluate if what she is saying is true.

Do you go after women?
Do you hang out alot and spend at the bar?
Do you buy things you want instead of things you need?
What types of friends do you keep?

If you mother is the nagging type, try to ignore her sometime.

point of correction, you owe only your parents something in this life. You don’t owe any other person.

Na my papa dey pay rent. See just imagine that you stay alone or stay with a friend. You dey look am like this because say na your mom. Once you’re above a certain age, see it like your parents are doing you a favour by allowing you stay with them. If you stayed alone or with someone, you’d save a portion of your income for rent, and other bills. You’d also eat from that money. Staying with your mom just subsidize these things. Just remove the entitlement mentality and you’d understand what I am saying. When know things hard na why most of us still dey parents house at certain age but you also have to help.

I was living rent free in my father's purchased house when she called me to come over. I didn't have to pay for anything in my dad's house where I lived. I'm living with you now and you are making things difficult for me even though I drop something every month. If I didn't live with her, wouldn't she eat and pay for all the necessities

Lol bro, seems you just wanna avoid bills. The reality is you just need to start getting used to doing things with money. You’re an adult and at some point you’d stay alone. Try to get used to it
