Career › Re: Is N400,000 A Bad Salary In Today's Nigeria? Is He Doing Something Wrong by kingemaker(m): 3:12pm On Sep 20, 2021 |
damosky12: Many in the USA and other developed countries earn just around that. Check the stats. Many Americans have to take night jobs and several side hustles but still earn less than 2k dollars. Mind the fact that a reasonable portion of those earning go to tax
Not to talk of developing countries... Anyone earning 1k dollars in most parts of Africa or Asia is considered rich.
The point is that your 2k dollar benchmark is just quixotic. Many families live fine in Nigeria on 100k or less. Some families live on less than 50k and they are just ok.
Let's be modest and humble with our estimations. It will help. If you earn big, know that some people earn small and are fine. Nothing like "ideal" when it comes to earning... Father, Mother and 2kids live fine on 100k? Oh please, I rest my case at this point. |

damosky12: It's not a Nigerian thing bro. Less than 25 Percent of world population have a $1000 (500k) income per month. Not to talk of your 1million benchmark. That's huge!
Your "ideal family" is utopian at best especially in the African context. Like I said, it's safe to face reality... I beg to differ. $1K in a month cannot sustain a single individual talk more of a family in most developed economies. Anyone earning less than $12k per annum in the US is facing real poverty. |

damosky12: LOL. 1 m? You are disconnected from the Nigerian reality. You have to climb off your high horse and smell the coffee.
There are families of four five six who live on less than 100k per month. And they are not dieing.
There is a cloth for every size.
BTW, how many people get jobs that pay 400k? Let's just be grateful. What you have (no matter how small) is wealth to others... 90% of Nigerian homes are below the poverty level. My estimates are based on how an ideal family should be. Sadly, the country's situation is not getting any better. |

For a single guy/lady. It is perfect.
For a family with kids, the parents must double their hustle. Family income of not less than 1m per month is needed to meet the family's needs like education, vacation, health, professional development, accommodation, sufficient savings and other responsibilities. |

IceColdVeins: Look dont be in a haste to castigate your neighbor. There are a lot of fake TVs out there now. You use them for a few months and the screen goes blind. (Talking from experience) Maybe a picture of the damage can help detect if there was an impact on the screen or the tv self destructed just like it was doomed to, from the very first day you bought it Coupled with the fact that he hardly makes use of it |

Family › Re: What Is That Special Thing That Makes You Happy? by kingemaker(m): 11:42am On Sep 11, 2021 |
Klass99: Different things make me happy;
1. Quality time with family, friends or a date.
2. Just touching, petting or holding a dog makes me happy - I love dogs and whenever I run into neighboours who own one I always seek permission to touch and pet.
3. Good company and companionship from either gender, but most especially when it's from a member of the opposite gender.
4. Cuddling, touching and holding someone I really like. It's so sweet when he is toned and muscled in all the right places.
5. Crime and mystery novels by any of my favourite authors James Patterson, Mary Higgins Clark, Frank Peretti etcetera It's a real blast for me when I'm reading a novel and all my favourite old school jams are playing in the background.
6. Listening to good music, watching entertaining programmes like The Survivor, The Debaters, Gulder Ultimate Search, movies and documentaries too.
7. Working out makes me happy too, I feel a massive sense of accomplishment when I successfully complete a workout routine - if only I could stay consistent 
8. Having money to do things and not being broke.
9. Surprising people with an unsolicited gift of money.
10. Growing my savings with Cowrywise, towards different goals/targets.
11. Learning new things from the internet without having to acquire more formal education in a classroom.
Jeez, sorry the list got long but you asked and I couldn't resist . Cool stuff |
