Before I drop my comment,. please endeavour to answer these; how many children do you have?

Does your wife have anything doing? If yes, what is her earning?

First, remove suicide out of the equation; it will not solve anything rather it'll compound issues. If you can continue your current job and learn the driving alongside, it'll be better. Be strong, the best is around the corner.
Best advice, beo

Please remove suicide from your mind. work on doing uber or bolt at the weekend and listen to preaching and teachings on positive thinking. The mind is a battlefield where the devil tries to make us give up by telling us all hope is lost. Trust God, things will surely get better.

God bless you in Jesus name and may he fill your heart with joy and your mind with peace.

Incase u are interested in Uber

You might have a good intention, please don't give that car out for ehailing.

If you have another means or cars to help, do, but don't give anyone that car for uber. It isn't a suitable car for uber.

You are earning 85k and you are thinking of suicide? Some people are earning 50k monthly with lots of mouth to feed and they are doing well, maybe you should cut shot your expenses.
Dont live more than you earn, subsidize things to balance yourself.

leave the fool alone alot of graduates are,earning 30k, 40k, and they are good in their own way, also, praying for more , come to think of it, if he can cope with 85k even if he earn 500k nothing will change, he should rather cut his coat according to his material

Do you have a wife? If yes that means your wife is not supporting you. If she is working she should encourage you to save by assisting you financially. if she's not working she should be frugal and then find her job. You should be frugal as well and save.

Re: Do I Need To Quit My Job ? by notym2chektym: 10:28am On Apr 01, 2021
don't quit yet,use weekends to learn the driving and plan from there. May God help all of us

Dont quit, you need a skill for side hustle.
What have you been doing with your weekends?
Free days?
Those days are your deal breaker, use them wisely Infact prepare for them thoroughly and learn new skills e.g tailoring, shoe making, leather shoe making repair, learn a trading system, business process development plans, Infact anything thy hand can find. In other words you need to use those days to learn about other things your job would necessarily not let you learn.

Option 2, you can use your free time at work or weekdays to get more professional and serious about your current job and learn more to improve your qualifications skills. Then move to a better one or seek for promotion.

As for the suicide thought, it means your thought is getting corrupt by the situation. You need someone you can trust to describe your situation accurately. Right now your mind is contaminated with negative thoughts and you shouldn’t trust it completely.
This here has said all you need to know, Guy how can you be thinking suicide?who wan leave your family for?you go no where... See man Uber business nor be jackpot o...i am talking from experience...is not an easy venture even with me using my car for it...a lot of challenges comes with it that you will regret quiting your 85k job,a whole 85k.some of the dispatch riders you see on our roads are earning far less like 41-45k with family o... Guy just get a side business,my wife makes more money than me frying chips, Puff Puff egg roll and others in front of my house... Guy reason an well.

Good evenning all.

I have been having this thought of quitting my job to learn driving in order to pick up an UBER or BOLT job but the fear of getting a car on hire purchase is always coming as an hindrance.

I am a family man whose salary of just #85,000 is not even enough to cater for the family .Before the salary even comes in, there are always debts that have been incurred.

Most times,I dont even get up to #20,000 as a result of debts and seriously I am fed up. Infact , I think of suicide sometimes because i am so depressed right now. I have rent of #140,000 hanging on my neck too.

Please will it be wise to quit to learn driving for purpose of commercial driving job?
What's your work hours like?

If you in Lagos, u could do Uber at weekend/evenings for people who love to hang out

Although it has it's own risk but I feel since u are not being owed salary at work, it's just not advisable quitting outrightly

Just my little piece though
Re: Do I Need To Quit My Job ? by BigDawsNet: 10:34am On Apr 01, 2021
Don't quit yet...find someone to start teaching you driving on weekends for the next two months or three

Then go to bank, they can help you with some loans to get a nice car for uber

why are people always seeing suicide as option? you must stay alive to overcome your challenges. You and your wife need to sit down and plan your expenses well.
-let your children go to schools you can afford,
-your expenses should not go beyond what you can comfortably afford.
-no let anybody put you under pressure, everybody come this world on his own brother.

na my little advise bi da.
Another good one,nor look anybody leave your life...

Re: Do I Need To Quit My Job ? by Lifeo3008: 10:38am On Apr 01, 2021
My dear, you are not the only one in this situation. Nigeria is so hostle this time around. Similar taught has came to my mind some weeks ago. You can check my own posting on niraland that I was sliding into depression. My salary too is just 95k. With 3 kids. Because of some circumstances,I was
Maintaining 2 diff accomodations in different state.( I wish to move my family but I don't trust the job and moving then from south west to South south will create more financial burden as cost of leaving is high were I work). I have not been able to pay one of the accomodation and my landlord is on my neck. I have accumulated school fees of 200k for my children being for 2 session.

Mind you I have MBA. No money to start business.

You are not the only one having challenges. Pls keep pushing and be hopeful you will make it one day
