Why marry and have kids when you know it would be a lil bit difficult to cater for them? May God help you. |

All these indomine generation that does not know the meaning of family pressure. This trend is not for u. It's for experience ppl and those that have something upstairs. Not for kids. Prussian: |

Lifeo3008: If you are above 30 years of age and you typed this nonsense, I'm sorry for you cos you are a disgrace to yourself. In life, you have ups and downs. As a man, you have to pick up yourself and overcome adversities. I don't know why today's men are lily-livered and soft. If you kill yourself because of problems today, other men who have overcome adversities will sleep with your wife and father your kids. It is that simple. Evolution favours the strong over the weak. 2 Likes |

you have a great dream of financial independence which defines your future..start to settle your wife first to see how she can be supporting when you eventually leave the job to pursue your dream ..if she can stabilize the family for a while things will work out better..you must take risk in life if you want to change your status..go about your plan methodically and you will soon be living in the world of your dream 2 Likes |

Prechgold1180: Corolla, Camry (big daddy 4 plug), matrix, Honda civic (03-05). There are others like Elantra, sonata, Honda City, Kia but the corolla, matrix, civic are tested and trusted with quite cheap and available parts. I will vote matrix and civic while corolla comes last because corolla is a robber magnet and even too costly to purchase. If you seek further info, you may DM me or check uber thread. Good luck |

If you quit the 85k job how would you pay for the driving training? my advise is continue with your job, do your driving trainings on weekends. When you have become an expert look for where you would get a car lease or on hire purchase. After then you can go ahead to resign. |
Re: Do I Need To Quit My Job ? by PAWG(m): 11:05am On Apr 01, 2021 |
confirmedniggae: If you were single , fine but as you have a family to cater for its damn complicated. Learn to drive and get a driver’s license before you quit. I wish you already knew how to drive and had a license. |

You need to give more details. 1. Is your wife working? what is her contribution to the finances of the home? If she is not working, she needs to get a job ASAP to support you. Sell below cost reduction, savings and investment plan to her. You need her buy-in to succeed. If she won't support your plans, you will need to divorce her 1st before you break the chain. 2.You clearly cannot afford your kid's current school fees and the accomodation you currently occupy. You need to change their school, even if it has to be a good public school pending when you get financial stability. You also need to hunt for a cheaper apartmnet pending your financial stability, even if it has to be 'face-to-face' for now. 3. Cut off ALL unnecessary spendings. Buy only good inexpensive 2nd hand clothes, shoes etc for now. Avoid friends or familly that drain your limited finances via drinking, parties, etc 4. Your wife's contibution, spending on only the basic needs, the cheaper school fees and accomodation will free up some money for savings. Save towards buying the car! 5. It wont be easy, but stay foucused on saving 30k monthly for the next 3years. You will have about 1million then. Buy a vey good car scanner that scans engine and gears (it costs about 50k). Then go hunt for a good UBER acceptable and very fuel efficient nigeria used car (kia rio, hyundai accent, toyotal corolla / yaris). CAVEAT- Never buy a Nigerian used car without scanning it for major faults. Do not also buy any Nigerian used car that says 'No fault codes found'... they sometimes deactivate the OBD2 scanning capabilities of the car. Never buy a Nigerian used car with oil leaks. BUY FROM A REPUTABLE SELLER (to avoid buying a stolen car). You will not value your job until you leave. You are already suicidal and you do not need additional pressures that will drive you to the brinks. Uber has its own challenges too. The car can have major engine issues, it can be impounded by unscrupulous security agents or stolen... what will you do then? If you have a loan to pay and these kinds of challenges arise, that will be disastrous! In all these, get the buy-in of your wife. like I said earlier if she is not supportive of these cost cutting measure or can't give a better plan, she is your number 1 problem... get rid of that first. It is better you keep the job. Have you and your wife learn how to drive / obtain driver licences. Both of you can be driving the car to make money. She can drive you to work, then use the car as a taxi till you close, then she will come pick you in the evening. At weekends, you take over the car to use as taxi. With this, you can both save enough money for a business for your wife. Just make sure she is a business minded person 1st. After all these, you can start thinking of a small land / house, then change your kids school. ALSO, DO NOT THINK ABOUT MORE KIDS UNTIL YOU ATTAIN SOME LEVEL OF FINANCIAL STABILITY!!! 8 Likes 1 Share |

aycapri: OP! Don't dare quit your job, it is not all that rosy for UBER drivers as you think, I have an UBER driver as my tenant driving his personal Corolla car, but cannot meet up with rent of a 2-Bedroom apartment in Ikorodu, no family to cater for, just himself alone because the only known daughter is married already. So think twice. 1 Like |

Okoroawusa: 1. Not rugged or I say ideal like corolla, civic, big daddy. 2. More expensive spare parts. Whether you drive Gwagon or corolla for uber, you earn same thing. Why use an unnecessarily expensive cars to shortchange oneself? The cost of maintaining that car will rob her of any lil profit she is making from the car. However, if one has such car and no other means for another car, one can make do with it and drive it PERSONALLY and not to be given out on rental. 1 Like |

Don't quit yet. Learn how to drive on weekends. When you've learnt, Find a bolt arrangement with an owner Where you'll be doing weekends And close of work to test the market first. Afterwards, quit if you're sure the market Will favour you. Don't quit now yet. Don't make the mistake I once made. |

confirmedniggae: GuyForget about Uber. Gather 500k and buy a golf3 clean Nigeria used. When you are going to work carry people and when you're coming back do the same. You'll get up to 3k daily after deducting fuel money. Don't do hire purchase you'll regret it. That's what I am doing right now and I don't run out of Cash. 4 Likes |
