The issue is 25K is not enough, you need to look for another job.

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 oncry


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


25k is too small. NYSC self dey manage 33k with this inflation. You just need to double up... Or triple up self.

Re: How My Monthly Salary Is Used On Foodstuff Only by Mikael0407(m): 4:25am On Oct 16, 2021
My advice is this, when your 25k arrive, put 7k inside ur saving box(everybody should have one at this point), then tell urself say if I perish, I perish. Pay your tithe (2,500). you sef will be surprised how God will be providing for you on a daily basis.

Go back and read what i wrote carefully before comenting, 3500 naira is for oil grounded pepper maggi salt etc, beside the OP said he lives inside the company so he non dey enter bike go anywhere, dont forget that he still gat 2k as pocket money, and bros finally no meat not fish the beans will supplement all that, someone is earning 25k and he is trying to save, and you are here talking about meat and fish? Why you non also include turkey and chickent too so that the OP go reach village quick, AM A PROFESSIONAL, WHEN TIME REACH TO POP HENESSY WE DEY POP AM, AND WHEN HE REACH MANAGE TIME WE MANAGE TOO

If anyone wants to blame this guy for not saving up or call him glutton, then the person must be living in Osun and paid under 30k. My guy, you aren't lying. Infact, you have spoken the truth about the excessive charges of food rate in Osun. I also live in Osogbo (Africa, Behind Ataoja police station) and I earn 30k per month. At same time I have other means of survivals which I can show you. If you are very interested, I can teach you something helpful. Dm me on Whatsapp 08146938964

We spend 4 to 6 years in the university studying, only to come out to look for job and sometimes we don't get that job.

Even if we get the job, we are being underpaid.

Life in Nigeria now is very hard that even if you are being paid N100,000 you will still struggle to survive.

How many people even get paid such an amount.

For you to survive in Nigeria you need a high paying skill to solve high paying problems.

And copywriting is one of them.

Copywriting is using the power of the written words to start, enhance or extend a relationship in sales.

Everything you see around you today are product of copywriting.

Facebook ads, bill boards, Tv adverts Radio jingles, magazines, to mention a few.

With Copywriting you work with foreign clients and get paid in dollars.

Just imagine being paid a whooping $500 just to write a letter.

That is about N250,000, and you can do this in less than 24 hours.

But what if i tell you that you can become a copywriter in 3 months with the right training and dedication?

Would you like to tap from this ever growing industry?

I would be holding a 3 day free class in Copywriting and LinkedIn marketing starting on Monday 18th of Oct.2021.

How much to learn web developer skill.




]Some of the people advising here don't have work and won't understand what u are going through. My advice:
Learn a skill online(Youtube) using the same smartphone you used to type this message or get someone(friend) who u think is very good in rending a Web, mobile App, design skills etc and connect them with someone in need of such service and earn a commission.

Here in Lagos, I done leave my house sometimes in 1month, i stay home and work all day/weeks and earn over 200-400k as a web developer.

Wise up bro, go learn a skill and add value to others. [/quote]

you don't have friends? That's silly for a 26 year old. You should have friends man. Opportunities comes from people, they don't fall from heaven. Cutting everyone off will only get you fall into depression if things get worse.

I make over 500k every month but I don't spend up 20k on feeding in two months and I feed very well.

I buy half cartoon of Spag, a cartoon of indomie, 2 paint of rice, 1 paint of beans, 5kg of Semolina and 2 Pando, 2.5 Liter of red oil and 1.5 Lt of Kings of Oil.

They last me for more than 2 months. Since I restock every 2 months, I give the remaining out.

However, beverages, bread, cooking soup and stew costs me a lot of money.

But 15k should be enough for you. Save 5k and flex 5k.

I live alone. No wife, no girl friend.
So how do you get balanced diet?
I think you might be malnourished with the crap I see here.

with the present economy, it's hatd to save because of the exorbitant prizes of foodstuff. My advice to you our is to think of a better job with a better pay or perhaps learn a handiwork that pays better.

Op most people insulting you are doing so from their parents house. The value of 25000 now is very negligible.

What are your skill sets. If you have no skill, I believe at 26years it's not too late to learn one. Be it driving, mechanic, electricals, tailoring, Upholstery digital based skills even if it means quitting your job. You will have to try and save something to start trading on something while you save your pride and return to your family house. A year should be enough to learn any skill properly and proceed to being self employed. Don't allow yourself to cross into your thirties or get a lady pregnant without a skill. Nuff said.

But even if its 5k monthly, you should be able to save, why would you use the whole of 25k to eat every month without transportation and monthly or weekly internet subscription......

You cant ask foodist to cut their food portions b3cause of some peanut savings hoped to archieve.

What you need is a side hustle.
A skill not a business pls.
Because for a foodist like you and I, 25k is not even enough for proper finger licking.
Don't blame yourself you cannot save from inside 25k ( everyone knows it's almost impossible).
Enjoy your life bro.
If you have a skill, advertise yourself and make the proceeds from that, " your savings "

Finally I see someone with sense, imagine these people advising the young man to starve just to save. What's the point of working while you starving yourself, saving for what? 5k monthly for a year is less than 100k and can't even start one any tangible business.

He's better he start sorting for a better job than starve himself.

It seems most of these commenters are being fed by their parents or have no idea of what it's like to live alone.

Bro don't let anyone make you feel bad or look like a money waster, most of those commenters are being fed by their families, they have no idea what is like to live alone.

It's practically impossible to survive on 25k salary in the present Nigeria even for a single person.
Don't starve yourself in name of trying to save money, else you create sickness for yourself which you'll still end up using the savings to treat.

Start looking for a better job or learn some IT skill that can sustain you in the future.

I live alone and I know what I spend weekly, it's impossible to save from 25k salary in current Nigeria, unless you have some financial support.

Nothing is wrong with you, no spiritual problem

I earn 60k for an average. 30k goes to savings every month. 5k goes to either of my parents every month. one of my siblings stays with me, i take care of her wellbeing, feeding and whatnot. i end up having just 18k for food including gas refilling of 5kg every month. in average, i have 14k to feed myself and my sister for the month. i stay in one of the villages in fct. i skip two months savings to pay my house rent every year.

if 18k can feed me and my sis in abj, you can do it my brother.
