I mean by the grace of God, I have been making such amount per month and sometimes more, but can I shock you? I'm always broke! That money, if it comes in bulk does not stay more than 5 days in my account before the account balance returns to what looks like a radio station frequency (92.5, 93.7 etc). Lol.

Abeg anybody else in my shoes? I don't drink, smoke or womanize or even spend money on unnecesary things. The cost of living in the country is just EXTREMELY high, which is the main thing that finishes the money in no time.

As things are now, making millions is the only way out but how I go reach there?

Which hustles I fit add to the one I'm doing now?

On the flip side, I believe successful governments especially the present one have been very intentional about subjecting the citizens into poverty the more for political gains.

My point

With the level of hunger, starvation and frustration going on in the country, people would be begging for any amount to vote during election, the political gains.

May God help us.

You earn 200k monthly and in your mind you’re earning much Mtcheww!!

If you carry me for chopping with that money I can’t even pick up to 4 clothes and the money will be exhausted not to talk of bag and shoes

Biko, just stay away from a relationship in order not to put someone’s daughter in abject poverty.

OP is losing except he buys fuel for gen daiky ir car daily...nothing else can put u in Tight corner...

Guy park ur car or use 300k convert to CNG

Nazgul:
What exactly do you spend you money on that you'll blow 200k in a week?

If you're not sending up to 50k monthly on transportation, I don't see any reason why you should exhaust the money in a week.

Unless you've adopted a lifestyle you certainly cannot afford. Anything aside that, it's literally impossible to spend such money in a week.

Asquare84:


CNG conversion is 700 k, now.

He said he's single.

Akwamkpuruamu:
I am barely coping with 300k with a family of 4

LegallyBlunt:


Did I read this well or this is some joke?

How can you blow 200K in less than a week? Doing what exactly? The economy is bad, yes, but 200K can still go a long way and last a full month if used wisely. Even married people would be great to earn this much money now!


It's obviously he is a yahoo boy!
They are the ones that spends extravagantly. Or maybe he not telling us how he actually make in a month or spend in a week!

Is it transport?
Do you eat out only/buy food?
Do have dependents?

If you don't know how you spend your income, then you're one very unserious fellow.

EconomistXplain:


Are u joking..?

CheedyJ:
How many dependents do you have ?
Do you transport everyday?
Do you have an on-going project?
Are you offsetting a debt?
Do you eat like a glutton?
Well sha, 200k isn't much anymore but with proper planning it could still last 2-3 weeks.

Verbtips:
e 2much na.
at least 100k then should be enough to spend for a month and he should find a cheaper apartment

Twist4u:
The reality of this matter is, NAIRA HAS LOST VALUE in multiple of 8x times.

Cost of goods and services campared to year 2013 has shown astronomical increase by 8 times in some cases 10 times.

#40k in 2013 is stronger than 200k now

Let's Do the math :
1 bag of Rice in 2013 is #8,000
In 2024 1 bag of Rice is #70,000

70,000 ÷ 8,000 = 8. 6 times difference

I liter of Fuel in 2013 =#87
I liter of Fuel in 2024 = # 670

#670 ÷ #87 = 7.7 times difference.

We can go on and on....

Here's is, the same man, in the same country, earning the same salary, But, Buying goods and services 8 times it's formal price.


And many people wonder why he complained.

I earned 2x of the op, I found myself asking almost similar question 2 weeks ago.

wunmi590:


200k is just like 100k in the present economy, but that doesn't mean it can't take you for a whole month, most especially for somebody who is not married...


I'm on 250k salary and I still manage till the end of the month, with 2 kids and a wife, infact, I still do my normal mutual benefit savings 10k each for my 2kids..

This present economy doesn't allow anyone to spend anyhow, you spend anyhow, you see shege banza...


Is still this money I will fuel my wife jalopy monthly to take my kid to school ooo

erico2k2:

Have you put fuel on your Gen lately? you might fill up your Gas?, You might spend 60k for a pot of soup, how about fuelling your car?
SO depend on your level, 200k aint really much..

erico2k2:

by your description, this is called surviving or existing. You are struggling and if anything, God forbid happens that require sudden huge funds ie N500k in a month you are in debt. Even for example that car broke down and you need a new Engine then you are in debt, My guy life in Nigeria is very tough now, Nah God

CheedyJ:

Since inflation is high and salary is constant, the logical thing to do is to cut expenses until you add another source of income. BTW, why spend 60k on a pot of soup on a 200k salary?

Les:
I don't mind accepting any flexible job that will pay me half of that, I am a graduate, 2.1 and what else. Ease be grateful, many don't have anything at all

Fellow like you, can't think outside the box or make something out of nothing, always dependant

nifemi25:
Thou the economy is not friendly now but still wondering how you spent 200k in just a week...since you said you don't womanize neither drink or smoke ..... Definitely you are into gambling or spend lavishly....


I can assure you if you earn 1million as salary , you will still complain at the end of the month...most family man here in Lagos earns between 80 and 120 and they still survive..try as much as possible to spend wisely so as to know where your problem is...
