How much is a bottle of coke in UK?
How much is minimum wage in UK?
How much is house rent for 2 bed room flat in UK?

I always say this to people, this mindset is ignorant. I was on 230k before I left Nigeria and I must say my first 5 months in the UK as a cleaner was waaaaay better than I was for over 3 years in Lagos.

When people think the UK is expensive, I laugh. I laugh because there’s a lot of places in the UK you can live that are not expensive.

Most people think of UK and the place that comes to their minds to have a life is London or other expensive places when you literally can live in Aberdeen (which is where I live.) as a cleaner on £1k(after tax) monthly then, I got a 2 bedroom house on Broomhill Road (view pictures of the neighborhood on google) and the rent was £550 (still is) got a flat mate to take the second room and we split rent in 2 making my share of the rent £275 a month and an extra 50 for light and heating bringing total bill to £325/ month leaving me with £675. Out of that, £100 goes for monthly groceries, £57 goes for my monthly bus ticket leaving me with £518… if I need to flex, £200 will do A WHOLE LOT (and I’m an introvert…. A pack of beer and PS5 or a movie are my flex and pack of beer no even reach £10) and I’ll still have over £300 to save (which is more actually because I no de use up to £200 flex).

Now in UK sef, £300(assuming i kuku flexed with £200) is a lot of money saved. Now convert that 300 pounds to naira… that’s over NGN 280k in savings monthly after all my expenses even if I wan flex……. How many of you can comfortably save that amount after all your expenses in Nigeria (single or married) even with your supposed high paying jobs?
(Note: this calculation is on the earning of a cleaner and not a high end job.)

See payslip below…. Also note that this pay came from working less than 4hrs on some days and maximum of 4 hours on some other days….

How many hours a day do you have to work daily every day to earn 150k in Nigeria again?

Samfloxin:
God forbid after leaving Nigeria I will be saving 300 pounds a month,it is too small. Why did I even leave Nigeria sef . I will rather work day and night. I can't be comfortable if I don't save up to 1000 pounds a month
