michlins:
I don't mean to insult you but you and sense are far from each.

How do you want him to save from that meager salary

manoflove22:
I earn 25k monthly,i use almost of it to buy food, and to fill my gas

Before 20th of the month, all the foodstuffs would be consumed, i will have to go on to borrow money to eat before the end of the month

Now the issue here is that My parent do ask me every time if I'm suffering from spirituality complications why i don't save for almost 3 years now I've been working, i tried to explain to them that the money is use to buy food

Note i live in the company's apartment, hence why I'm not living with them, and I'm 26years and have younger ones living with them

Now the help i need from you guys is how can you enlighten me how i can live on the money and still saving out of it, cos im not getting younger anymore

And in Nigeria where there is no job security,they can fire me from work anytime, how will i leave work without no saving and will still go home eating mama's food

This is the reasons why i don't have gf,friends or visit them at home thinking it will save me more money to save


This is not a life i wanted, help me guys


I'm not getting younger,now I'm planning to start some online business, buy a pos and do some stuff to earn me money monthly, so anytime i live this work i can rely on


Before u guys insult me or call me a glutton, please note this, in osun state where I'm living, foodstuffs is super expensive every day, spaghetti i always live on rises from 220 to 350naira presently

This is not a typical me, before Buhari' s administration, talking about 2015,i do save alot of money even those time i earn meager 10k monthly, even that time i have gf, friends

Kobojunkie:
So $1.00 a day for food and $20 for toiletries and transportation each month?
You think that is a lot?

sonnie10:
We are not taking about dollars here. Even in USA people earn $10/hr. If you calculate it,, that is about $400 for 40 hour a week job. After tax is might be like 2$70 take home.

Now for those people, $7 a meal fast food time 3 is $21 day. Which is $147 a week. They still have to pay for gas to work and other bills,

Its not easy anywhere for minimum wage earners, that is the truth

Oyerinde16:
Don't let anyone deceive you, you do not have a savings problems, the issue is the salary is too small...#25k is $50, as it stands you are living on less than $1.80 a day, meaning you are living far below the poverty line. You need to wake up, use a large share of your money to look for better jobs, upgrade your skill, add value to yourself, market yourself. The job you earn #25k for, someone is doing that exact same job and earning #250k. You need to move to those places. Don't let someone come and use #25k to tie down your destiny... 3yrs no be beans...

Kobojunkie:
This doesn't make any sense to me nor does it compare in anyway to this OP's situation.

Now back to this guy, he currently has a monthly living budget of about $50, and you are saying what Now?

Why are you calculating his salary in dollars, is he living in America with you?

meeketta:
Put a knife on your throat, if you like enjoyment.
I earn 20k every month, but i try my best to save 5k monthly.
How do I do this?
I have created a bank account that I don't have access to withdraw from it, no ATM, not even a Sim card (i broke the Sim card)
try this one

lilvicky68:

Try and stop it .

YoungRay007:
With the level of poverty in Nigeria, I would just borrow 100k from one of this loan app and run to Ghana or Cameroon

sonnie10:

The common theme in both is; Minimum wage anywhere is not a living wage.
Why are you calculating his salary in dollars, is he living in America with you?

YoungRay007:

Kobojunkie:
Is there a law against reviewing the amount in dollars or something?

Does doing so change anything of what has so far been stated by the Op about his situation?

manoflove22:
This is not a life i wanted, help me guys

sonnie10:
Yes. Converting it to dollar brings another perspective of unfair comparison into the matter.
If you make that comparison, then I am at liberty to compare his situation with that of burger flipper in the US.

Which imagination. How much is a meal at Burger King or McDonald’s? It about $8 plus tax.
How much is rent for a room? Even if you have a room mate, it cannot be less than $300 for each person.

chatinent:

It is because there is sb you believe who is always willing to lend you.


Na food you come this life come chop? Ị kpebiri igbu onwe gị, chukwu nnam ehhh!


At a point in my life, I was paying my rents, bills, had a brother staying with me and I was paid ₦12k monthly. I had no one to lend me money.



Hello my brother,
I will not lie to you, neither will I mince words nor patronise you...thank God on Sunday I sha don't know you in person.

If the company provides accommodation for you...which translates that you don't pay rents, ekwesiri iji ntu kukasiagi isi!

I am not saying ₦25k is too big...but damn it, I read a post of a noble man here who is married and probably with kids now surviving on ₦35k monthly...ginwa họọrọ ịbụ onye na -eri oké nri. I don't think it's even because you wallow in gluttony...onu uto akugbola gi!

What nonsense! What akpiridacity!

If you aren't Igbo to understand what I am typing, na your problem.

I am catering for four of my siblings staying with me with nobody to borrow from, or an extra hand. The key is buying things in bulk. Avoid onu uto! Learn to drink water while you eat...eat small, drink water small! Six wraps of fufu does not mean you have made it in life...people eating two haven't died finish! Hapu umu agbogho!!

Better diverse your income and stop living a scavenger life or start making a scale of preference before ma pata gi aka.


Lalasticlala, come and carry your brother before I lose my temper.

Well, I'll add more things since you decided to update the thread with the below:

You need to stop depending on one source of income then!
