walahi I just replied someone now I a manner similar to yours. God bless you. I didn't even read this before

SUPERPACK:
Speak for those that have zero in economics sha not me. With that pay I will enjoy my life here in Nigeria and never look for more. I will still save 250k per month at the end minimum. I live a minimal lifestyle, no smoking, drinking, clubbing, womanising nor friends and don't fancy social attention.

SeunTheOwner:


This is not true.
Over the last 12 months, my earnings increased by an excellent percentage and I have more savings than in any other year.
The reason is simple, I did not change my lifestyle. Besides Food, TP, and rent, what took money out of my pocket was gifting.

Androgens:


One word POVERTEA. N500k Is Just an Average Salary In a SANE Working Nation. Only In A Poverty Ravaged Nation like Nigeria will senseless people consider someone earning N500k monthly rich..

Emoney2M:


And what life are u now living?

No sin, no socialization and yet there's money to spend?

Ita basically because you've not gotten such funds, you will find your Taste and circle of friends change, and gradually you learn some vices.

NOETHNICITY:
I earn over a million monthly, yet I don't see myself as rich

Others earn a little past 600k monthly and not only see themselves as rich, they actually live it up!

That's why it is subjective!

If Elon Musk looks at the account balance of most entertainers, he will probably despise them as miserably poor!

Your perception of wealth is your choice not fact!

NOETHNICITY:
The bolded is absolutely correct. Infact it can't be more correct. You are a genius.
I've since told myself that I will not consider myself rich until I set up my own biz that can generate a monthly income of at least 2mil. Only then will I relax and tell myself that I am rich

MaZee1:
I earn 2.7m monthly and I don't consider myself rich yet

pongwa:
no be fight man. Truth is bitter anyway. I also perceive you have poverty of knowledge and understanding. If you think you need a particular sum to be rich then you are not far from poverty.


'Rich' is a mindset, the one that enables a man to make decisions that'll add value to his life. You have to get it right first before you escape poverty. I thought you knew that. For that guy to land a job of 500k plus, it means that he has something qnd its that thing that will add value to his life. Not knowing this amounts to poverty (I don tire to type)

NOETHNICITY:
Oga sir, I say you win sir

UyaiIncomparabl:


Start earning it and you will know.

As your income increases, your taste increases. Those that know, know.

God bless you too boss, they just saying rubbish

Someone making 500k/mnth can buy a car of 3m
Someone making 5m/mnth can buy a brand new car of 30m
Someone making 50m/mnth can buy a ferarri
Someone 100m/mnth can buy a private jet
Someone making 1bn/mnth can buy a private yatch

All of them are rich.. Make una rest this matter abeg if you think you not rich is your mindset cos even if you make 5m you won't still see yourself as being rich

Angelfrost:


True sir... 150k is quite small even for a bachelor, but that is the reality of most Nigerians today.

How many Nigerians see legit 500k every month to call it common or average?!! That is my bone of contention on this thread.

Many of those making empty noise about how small the amount is actually live well on less as we type. So why the needless bragging all over?!!

The annoying part is this constant comparison with those earning Dollars abroad... Like what kinda dull economics is that?!!

Ezidimma:

Rubbish, you only need to taste it to know that in our present Nigeria, 500k will not make you rich if you havr four or more children that you intend to give quality life. And if you have an aged mom that depends on you like I do......I & my wife earn a joint Salary of 450k & we are not vain yet we can call ourselves rich & we have 2 kids not 4 & we live in Surulere not Lekki.
Say what you know.
How much is noodles?
Beverages?
Fuel?
Garri?
Rice?
Etc etc?

tarantino1:


It's so annoying to see Nlders labelling an amount that 90% of Nigerians don't earn anything close to monthly as average.

What's the average household income in this country? It's a shame we don't have the statistics. But the CBN report about bank savings was an eye opener.

MrBrownJay1:
@OP
as much as your friend is just a greedy person who expects you to dash him money left right center, he is righ to say that you aint poor.... but just because you aint, that doesnt mean you should also be foolish in throwing your money away like that.

How is it a lot
Omo nah poverty Dey do you sha
Guess you have not even seen 100k in your life before
Calling 500k money in this dwindling economy just be deceiving yourself

lots of responsibilities/mouth to feed??!!?! do the people who earn 50K monthly NOT have these same responsibilities/mouth to feed?!?!?
i think it is dangerous to claim that earning 500K monthly in Nigeria is anything but being rich....lets forget anywhere else in the world, in NIGERIA, 500K monthly is a LOOOOOOOOT!

what does the dwindling economy got to do with anything?! the only thing the dwindling economy is gonna do is make POOR PEOPLE POORER... and if you believe that someone earning 500k monthly in Nigeria is a poor person, then so be it....you are entitled to your opinion.
