My 5 days salary pays my rent for the year.

By the way my rent is 500k a year.

And I've been earning 3M monthly and believing God for 6M per month soon.

Na Jesus Christ run am for me.
Just 2 years ago I was in premium poverty and lack:

* I borrowed to marry. I couldn't even pay once or twice or even thrice. It was paid in installments.
* I couldn't not afford hotel for honey moon.
* I could not afford hospital fee for delivery.
* I could not afford house rent. NSPPD and not NDPPD. Yes oooo miracle does not taya Jesus
* Even feeding sef was war

I begged for all these things.

I joined an online prayer platform (NDPPD LIVE ) on youtube every 7am from Monday to Fridays. where I prayed my hearts out, in less than a year, Jesus Christ turned my life story around.

I live in my own personal house with my family. The only thing I spend on is minor repairs and here and there.

I believe you shouldn’t use more than 2 months salary to pay rent.

Invest in a land as cheap as possible even if it is in a rural area. You can lease it to someone to farm on if you are not financially buoyant to start building.

You also don’t have to wait till you have millions to build, start a little project such as a 2 bedroom, you will never regret it

Viking07:
The average Abuja salary starts from 50-70k. 100k is considered a good pay in Abuja. Now which part of Abuja can you rent a decent 1 bedroom apartment with 200k(2 months salary)?

Nigerians in general are suffering from hyperinflation but nobody cares. Price of items keeps going up while salary remains constant. People now use their 3-5 months salary to pay as rent. In gwarimpa. A selfcon is between 900k-1m. How many Nigerians earn 500k monthly? Lol how many can even boast of 200k saved in their accounts at any point in time? We’re joking in this country.

PS: There’s a difference between Abuja and FCT. 😁😆. Gwarimpa, Garki, Maitama =Abuja
Nyanya, gwagwalada, bwari, Kuje =FCT.

lavylilly:
inside Gbesa it 250k two bedroom.

lavylilly:
inside Bariga or inside Igando, ibeshe in Ikorodu or Ajuwon axis you will see 3-bedroom for 200k

Someone earning 100k a month in Abuja has no business living in Gwarinpa or anywhere inside town. Maybe in Nyanya or Mararaba or Lugbe or Kubwa.

elipheleh:


Lol. I know it sounds crazy. I work 2 jobs

Job 1.
CONTEC Global. We produce expertraits CERPAC cards (Combined Expertraits Residence Permit and Aliens Cards) for the Nigerian Immigration service. It is the Nigerian residence permit and work permit for foreigners living and working in Nigeria.
Just Google the company CONTEC. The salary is very very small. Not up to 150k in naira monthly.

Job 2.
Second job is programming job for a USA company. I work remotely. Salary is 4k US Dollar (ie 3 million naira) monthly. Soon to be increased to 8k monthly.

Modified
I return all the glory to Jesus Christ. He is the doer.

kingreign:


Do you know how much it cost to rent a 1bedroom in Kubwa or Lugbe?
Lol.

I doubt you do.

Las las we go dey alright.

staga:


I am no longer in tune with the prices. It used to be 800k in Lugbe when I left Naija in 2019.

SultanOfAbia:
You can convert your sienna into bed and sleep inside it with doors locked.
Sienna way big pass some people living room.

In USA people sleep and live inside their cars for months and save up money.

If your car is tinted, even better for you
At night after every every,
you just collapse the seats and turn it into bed and sleep inside with doors locked. For the single ones it's much easier.
Save up your salary till it's enough to buy house

How many times una wan ask this question? Something a simple Google search can answer. Multiple threads that made front page have created on this same topic but one stupid mod still decided to push this to FP. All of una for this forum they mad....Don't go and plan on how to start building your own house you hear? Idiot. Dey ask percent of your salary wey you go pay as rent, rubbish man. Na your mate dey build mansions for festac up and down and Marry young women like us at an early age. You still dey pay rent, nonsense. Stupid men like you are the reason a lot of beautiful young woman like us are not married yet.

Diligent1:
100% of my one month salary for a year rent, I can't kill myself with responsibilities.
I read it somewhere from a financial consultant that a year rent should not pass your 2 months salaries.

Pussykills:
Please I need sincere inputs. Those leaving with someone, please don't derail this thread. Just read an learn.

I'm planning on relocating to new area in Abuja but I'm really confused if 20% of salary is too much to pay for rent.

Where I currently stay lacks some amenities and I pay 10% of my salary for rent.

What percentage of your salary goes to rent? How much do you think should be the ideal percentage of salary for rent??

I think the right percentage would allow for proper saving to allow one build his or her own apartment.

Thank you for your responses.

HRSweetness:
This saying your rent should be 1 month's salary, please where do you live? What kind of shelter would that be?

chiboycue:



It depend on your status. If you are single man then it would be good to settle for a self contain apartment, preferably at the out skirt of Abuja and rent could be N150,000 - N200,000. If you are married without kid then one room apartment could be okay for you and budget N300,000 - N350,000 for it but if you are married with children then two bedroom apartment and a budget of N500000 -N700,000

If you salary is say N150000 and you get a self contain of say N150,000, you may need to use like two months of you salary to pay for the rent cos you need to pay for agent fee as well and so you may end up paying N165,000.

If you looking for an accomodation of N150,000 then you must be earning N1,500,000 as monthly salary to be thinking of paying 10% of your salary as rent and is hard to earn such a salary.


At time if you are looking for accomodation, don't look at the percentage of salary that it would cost you, rather look at what you can afford to pay and whether you can renew the rent after a year.
