Now That Things Are Expensive, How Do You Manage Your Salary by slenjaman(op): 7:33am On Sep 07, 2021

Dear salary earners like me, how do you manage your salary with the current economic situation and high cost of commodities (more than 50% and above), how do you cope.

It hasn't been easy at all

The first thing I do when I receive salary is to draw up a list of the things I don't have in the house and shop for them first especially foodstuffs because the worst thing that would happen to you is if you're hungry in this kind of economic situation

Then I subscribe for internet and my DSTV to keep me entertained in the house so as to avoid some unnecessary things that would make me leave my house and spend unnecessarily

I try not to carry a lot of cash around so as not to fall into the temptation of unnecessary expenses

Finally, as a single guy, I avoid slay mamas for unnecessary billing or if I can't, I'll just say things to get them upset and not apologising so that the drama will last long

Not to mention that I'm still acquiring skills to help me move out of this country and be useful outside because I can't allow my kids experience what I'm experiencing

During Jonathan, i had a job that paid me about 210k per month, i was ok. Now i have a job that pays more than twice of that and i am finding it hard to live comfortably and 'ball'

Now, imagine what people who don't work now go through. Truly, in seeking for solution, Nigeria found a problem

I'm not a salary earner but I would really love to know how you all do the "magic" as the average Nigerian youth's salary is less than 60k. How do you all do it abeg??

hahahaha wahala for anyone way no de make in dollars.
i quit my 9 to 5 job cos at the end all the salary go for transport (Abuja worst) , food, cloth, family and other miscellaneous at the end you get paid 50k. stock jeans self na 7k or above.

but now as a freelancer one job is 50k minimum and within 3 days job is completed, not that time you will be working for 30 days without no sleep because you want to survive. In Nigeria now, you have to work smart not work hard. Skills jobs pay more now.

when the Nigeria bad electricity wanted to make go back to working for someone i discovered solar, now i have light 247 to do my business without buy that their evil fuel price to power my home.

Even having a YouTube channel is more promising than wasting your time following celebrity on all social media.

In my state, people who dig white sand for building construction make more than 7k to 12k daily excluding Sunday, calculate it in one month.

Truly if you can survive in Nigeria, bro i swear you can survive any where in this world.
