My point exactly...

The best form of national security is food and financial security for the average citizens.

Anything less means turning the nation into a war zone!

Forex or save your money in dollars

How can one save in dollars?

I initially wanted to challenge myself, a dollar a week via PiggyVest but mehn, I took a thought about it.

Currently dollars PiggyVest sells a dollar for 535 and buys a dollar for 520..

Imagine I save a dollar a week every week and let's say in nine months time, I want to sell my dollars to PiggyVest of course, wouldn't it be around 535 or 540?

Can someone help with a good suggestion on how to save bits by bits in dollars..

PS: I know I can earn in dollars though freelancing but for now.. job isn't allowing me to have the ample of time..

NamelessOGBENI:
I earn close to 60k minus the side gig.
Now my monthly expenses look this way,
1. Food & Groceries 8-10k
2. Tithes (y'all know the figure)
3. Transportation 3k
4. Siblings support and pocket money 8k
5. Miscellaneous 3k

N.B: I lived the MGTOW life so its the elbow to elbow lifestyle for me, no commitment and I stayed up north.

Folks should kindly factor in their locations while dropping their punchlines here.

So you too agree life is more easier in the north than the wise calling calling the north names

Nah just 18 ooo.i buy when e b dey 20 dollars

tammyboy1:
lol how many Sol you get?

Nnemuka:
Salary earners are trying oo
I earned about 150k from a small gig I did last week Friday 3rd sep. As at today 7th of September I have 18k left of the money...

Omo Naira is useless
I cant even believe I blew over a 100k in 3days...
Ok I bought one human hair and paid my own contributions towards grandma burial but....

phewww....

Na so

fnep2smooth:
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.

Lol person we try Dey dig sand daily na Im you Dey use compare, he wan dig sand 6 days a week? Him self Go know for him body

Make good comparisons please

Vicilo:


Imaging my landlord increasing rent twice 40k and 100k in less than two years and expect compliance.

Minus the insecurity challenges, life up north is simply the easiest.

Bro... I'm tired, everybody is trying in Naija,but the country make am be like hustling guys are lazy,bills go choke making it look like we ain't making progress financially...imagine earning like 75k and spending over 100k monthly due to unforseen bills and high cost of things,from food to clothes,to housing to transportation to maintaining relationships and a standard lifestyle....E no easy...depression don build duplex for my head,Na everyday migraine dey knack me for one side of my head (left side)... I'm just tired, mentally exhausted, spiritually low, psychologically unbalanced atm...men are working yet nothing to show for when all earnings are used in paying one bill or the other....Na die just remain like this cos I'm tired of this long struggle.

Are u married with kids? If not, take a breather, allow yourself to breathe. And u need a prudent partner to help manage ur resources

To test-run the effect of food hiking in this country, take out a thousand naira note (#1000) and spend fifty naira (#50) outa it, wait on it for 30 minutes. 'Siuuuuuuiiuuuu' all gone without even spending in your mouth nor materialistic consumption. The money in this country as we know it has lost its value.

Dayleke! If you're seeing this, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

grossintel:
Do you live on your own? Because I don’t understand how 13k can do all these for you. That’s not even up to how much I spend on airtime alone in a month.

no chance he is living on his own with 13k at time dem dey borrow like 5k or more fore next payday,then some company dey give salary advance(salad)if this becomes a habit,you aint acheive anything till u quit da job
