Exactly. Their are many things men should cut down on to be able to save.

If they can identify those things and moderate them or stop them, they will be able to save.

Once I know something is becoming a habit that always suck money from my pocket, I stop it instantly before it becomes an addiction.

What if it has become an addiction?

You should stop misinforming people about forex alot losses involved. Forex itself is very volatile, it takes time and practice to achive your said goal.
Don't mind him, talking as if is something that will start yielding profit without loss

An addiction can be stopped. It requires discipline. Once you can discipline yourself, there is no addiction one cannot be free from.

With your 80k salary, you can spend the money as follows
20k for foodstuffs
10k for your personal expenses
10k for your mum's upkeep
That is 40k. Then you save 40k monthly

20k for foodstuffs?

I laugh in Spanish.

10k for personal expenses kwa?
lol...
I don't think you live in Lagos.

in this same Lagos that from my house to the nearest bus stop alone is 150-200.
If I want to go to Oshodi there from my house around Iyana Ipaja, 800 would disappear.

20k for foodstuffs sef is a joke

Think of recharge cards, pure water bags,nepa bills(that hit can be crazy sometimes)waste disposal... you are on a long thing

If you don't spend on transportation, you're far better than someone who earns 100k. You better find a way to start saving at least 50k every month for future use. Also think about unnecessary things that makes you spend more to cut off or down. That's my only advise for you sir

Do you live in Lagos?

I bet, no.

All these calculations no dey work for Lagos nah.

You'll be earning 200k and spending with all sense of prudency yet you won't have 20k in savings at the end of the month.

The thing be like JuJu. grin



People go dey work for island dey collect 250k yet dem go still dey live for Pako Estate.

You know how many people dey live for General Paint, Kuramo , Jakande and Maroko endless shanties?

Half of the islanders live in these holes and earn way more than 100k.

Even to buy one polo na problem.

Who born you make you fit chop belleful for Lagos? Can you afford it? 1k go down for one sitting.

Imagine say you chop three times. cheesy


I can relate.

Bros stop emphasizing on things u know u can truly predict, I traded too but it takes a while lot of time to successfully trade, only if the learner understands. It requires patience, discipline and endurance.

Continue blowing money under the guise of not denying yourself somethings. The Investment wey you dey talk about, the money go fall from sky like manna ba? Nobhe from your savings you go get the Investment money? Abi you go squat and poop it out of your tiny bunghole?

Go ask Warren Buffet and the likes how they made their money. They were very niggardly. and instead invested their savings. Whatever you see them buying today is from their interests and never from their capital.

You've heard car is a luxury, except it's putting money in your pocket.

Once bought a ride for 500k, yet spent 700k fixing it after I bashed it; eventually sold it 300k. As i dey now car na d last tin for my mind till I open my beer parlor.

Atleast people like you can coman continue blowing your money with us while you continue to not deny yourself and indulge yourself.

We'll treat you very well, you know sey you be customer daada ni.

The truth is, you are not being prudent in spending. It seems like you sepnd extravagantly. I am sorry about the remarks coz I mean no harm. Since you are not paying house rent and not spending on transportation, you should be able to save very well. Open another bank account without atm card and app, as soon as you are paid, transfer 40k or 50k to the account, then use the rest to take care of the family needs. I am a government secondary teacher. At my grade level now, I am not paid more than 50k. But, as my level goes up, the salary goes up. Yet, I save some money every month and I intend to settle down soon. Even here in the South East, things are getting skyrocketing day by day. I used to live in a room and parlour but had to leave coz of the high cost of the house rents at 20k monthly. If you take alcohol or spend on women, reduce it. Plan yourself and push out your money to the new account immediately it enters. Better days are coming. Live well.
Are u male or female.

You are not spending money on tfare and hiuse rent and you are complainjg. Now that you are still with your parents better start investing a portion like 20k in mutual funds. Remove that money u would pay for rent and invest it.

Dont mind people saying with 80k you cant survive. All those drivers and security guards dont have two heads. But the earlier you start investing, the better for u.

There are people in Lagos living below that and you dare not see some of them drop comments here and there are also people earning more who don't reside in Lagos who will just shake their head and move on. It's always different strokes for different folks

Womanising is one thing that is draining most guys pockets. No self control. With the rate of ladies doing runs these days and men that can't control their anacondas, it's quite hard for most to save.

If they tell you how much men spend carrying girls up and down, your mouth will be wide opened. Imagine carrying one girl today, and tomorrow carrying another one. Next day same thing. It becomes an addiction. Most won't admit this. But that's the true reality of most men/guys.

They spend everything on carrying girls. In this era, every man needs to discipline himself if not, they will work for years and nothing to show for it.

My advice to young guys aspiring to have a meaningful saving is they should be wary of the type of girls they date. Dating a materialistic lady will drain a guy. Dating a girl that has no money management skill can wreck a guy.

And those running after runs girls should do it with common sense. All the like of hook up and the rest. While I won't condemn it, but as a guy, it should be done with moderation. Meeting up once a while. It shouldn't be regularly. Some guys hookup 4 times a week. And they spend nothing less than 10-15k in every meeting. That's bad for a guy finance.

Guys should wise up.

You are right about your submission..... nothing more to add

I'm a single guy but I have a family to carter for, and that's my mum and sister.
The problem is I earn 80k in lagos and I don't know its just not enough for me
And I'm not paying a rent I live in family house.
Can someone please tell me how to manage my resources because very soon I would want to stand alone and start my own family.

Try as much as possible saving 50k monthly as contribution with your co workers. You are lucky self. No house rent, no transportation and probably no. NEPA bill. Guy think well and earn better investment for yourself.
