BuTiku2019: Don't tar everyone with the same brush. Squatting is still the word. Maybe I should have said living not squatting, Its 4 rooms and parlor family house. Only 2 siblings at home. There is an empty room I use. In fact, I have access to everywhere. . .I spend money there too. I foot many bills there. In fact the last small renovation cost me circa 200k. It's a family house . No rent is paid. The friend is a post grad student and rarely stays at home. .It would have been cheaper for me to stay alone. He drives my car. In fact, I taught him how to drive. I buy gas, foodstuff etc. Only if you knew how much I hate to beg, let alone letting people feed me I started this hustle in school. It took me 6 years. I was able to save due to frugal nature. I don't show off, I don't brag. I even stated that my car is rickety valued at 350k. If I was proud person, maybe I would have bought Camry to chase girls. I suffered so much growing up. I left those details to reduce length of post. You may not understand. I feel like crying typing this. 4 Likes |

I am in a dilemma worsened by this covid19. I am a graduate male of 29 residing in the East. I still squat with a friend, not because I don't have money for house rent. But principally because I have been unable to figure out what I want to do with my life, hence renting a house feels like a commitment that might get me stuck. I always feel I might move anytime soon-- to either another state or abroad for masters or just practice of my profession. Note that I didn't study a STEM course. All these while squatting, I have been saving via my proceeds from hustles. In the wake of this COVID19, I checked all my banks and found out that money I have in my account has lost so much value given the dollar rate. I have 11.4 million, inclusive of my working capital, plus a rickety car valued at 350k. Each time, I need just 3-5m as working capital. It seems that trying to save more is false economy and might be counter productive. NOW, I AM CONSIDERING buying a plot of land and erecting a small house even if it's 3 rooms. This, I think will serve as investment that will keep appreciating and also serve as residence. Or just open a domiciliary account to hedge against naira fall and continue saving. What do you think please? 138 Likes 15 Shares |
