That's true...but I also thought this family section would be OK since I was asking abt monthly household spendings

Anyways, the mods can still help me do the needful too... And also push it to FP

Wow.. Quite expensive I must say..

Pls pardon my question, do you net about 2m/month in Nigeria to accommodate all these expenses?

Also, I think you can get some nice mortgage deals in Abuja with about N2m/month.. You may need to consider that a rent to own kinda scheme.

I can't really break it all down cause I damn know how to spend.


I'm single and family is doing quite well.



I just bang pvssies,drive new rides(sometimes on rent) and enjoy the bachelorhood.


No time to check expenses.


Roughly 12,000 USD. Excluding house plans and tax,though I have that covered by those(confidential) I work with.


If you can sign up citizenship,you can enjoy certain benefits inclusive.
