Some of you that come online to post this nonsense may God have mercy on you.

All this senseless trolling must stop. 500k monthly income in a country where the average person earns less than 100k and you have the temerity to complain! I can't blame you.

intruder15:
Are you single or married?

Kiss10:

BrotherJapa:
Not bad but as a man, you have to strive for about two to three streams of income at any given time. Save aggressively invest in a side hobby.

Judolisco:
that's 150k per month... Wetin u dey do with d remaining money?

chiboycue:
What amount of income would you be "comfortable" with ?

essentialone1:
Earning between N500,000 to N700,000 monthly is a significant income in Nigeria. However, comfort is a personal and relative concept.

To better understand your situation, I have a few questions:

1. What are your monthly expenses? Are there areas where you can optimize spending?
2. Do you have financial goals, such as saving, investing, or paying off debt?
3. Are you building wealth or primarily focusing on consumption?
4. How do you define "comfortable"? Is it a specific lifestyle, financial security, or something else?

Sharing more details will help me provide more tailored advice and insights.

essentialone1:
That means that you make about 418 US Dollars per month. That is not enough to categorise you as being financially okay, but then you are still better than a lot of Nigerians. I do not know how difficult or easy it is for you, but target making at least 500 to 700 US Dollars equivalent monthly. Then with time, take it up to 1,000 US Dollars equivalent per month. There is no easy road to success, but keep on getting better than your yesterday. Aim high, and work hard towards it.

Your rent determines if it's ok or not. What is your rent? You can't be paying rent of N1.5M and still want to be comfortable

WHERE ARE YOU EARNING THE 650k

emmanuel596:
You are no longer comfortable because your mind has consistently seen that amount and it's demanding to grow beyond that... It's human nature

Harddiskng:
Are you minding the people that are deluding themselves on the trend that it is small, set online billionaires

As a single person, the OP is earning enough to be living his best life. Only him knows what it eating up with funds with him.

Godwin4444:
U should even have enough savings to get a better life cos there are many earning less n doing reasonable things

B reasonable with your spending n u are good to go

marlow1962:
If you're a single guy earning such amount monthly and still complaining, then you need deliverance cus your financial life is poor.

Well cut down your expenses since you're complaining. If you dy carry olosho 50k, reduce am to 5k.

harjay1986:
That means you buy food every time, if possible find way to cook your own meal, it will reduce to some extent, I earn 300k with three kids and my wife, after every every I still save like 100k every month

advanceDNA:
Just cut ur expense....500k is not money naija just that our leaders is heartless leaders making some expense too high

No generator every night ...u won't die

If u have a car that u use daily to work that gulps like 10litres per day ....that's roughly 10-11k per day and 220k per month minus Saturday and Sunday outing and servicing cost....Use public transport ..u won't die...

Buy satchet water instead of bottle...or check if ur tap water is drinkable...a friend told me he started taking his tap water when he calculated and found his cost on water was 80k month...

Kobojunkie:
In Nigeria today, it puts you well within the poverty bracket particularly if you have dependents apart from yourself.

Nazgul:
Draw out a budget and spend according to your budget.

And if you must date, go for someone with a reasonable income. Don't waste your time dating a liability.

There are people who earn between 150k-200k monthly, and they're still surviving.

You'll be fine.

If you learn to budget and live within your means

People earn far lower and try to be comfortable

People earn millions and are still not comfortable

It all depends on how you plan your budget
