Anything away from my 2months salary to settle my rent, count me out! The house rent no be my mate. grin

I even try to make things (house rent payment) easier for myself. I divid the total amount by 365 and make sure my palmpay save each day's amount in the luck. Then they would even give me interest after one year.

My yealy rent is about 22% of my annual income. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment in Alimosho LGA, Lagos. The environment is decent and I look forward to becoming a landlord in the same area. All the other tenants knew somehow that I don't belong among them. Living below your means is possible sometimes but the pressure is high & I wasn't "really comfortable" either. All depends on you & your goals.

Nigeria will humble you..the cheap house you're looking for does not have vacancy in the location where you work, now what do you do? and even the pay for the job can't meet your needs 50%..the system is happening to all of us, that's just the truth.. how many jobs pay over 100k today or how many people can pay their rent in this bad economy.

Personal finance experts believe your rent should not exceed 25% of your total annual income

Too high
Re: How Many Months Salary Is Advisable To Use For House Rent? by Nazgul: 11:36am On Dec 07, 2023
Not more than 3 months cos transportation can consume up to 30% of your net pay. And buy the time you add your bills, you go just weak.

This is why it's always advisable to have other streams of income.

One of the things I have read and was inspired from nairaland is reading some years ago that your annual rent should cost you maximum of your two months salary/income.. anything above that means you are living above your means.
