how do people dat earn 30k per month cope, i must say those people perform miracles. Only today i just spent more dan 30k today on miscellaneous, alone,

Dstv =12400, filled gas 12.5kg= 5100, bought fuel for car and gen 3,500 and 1,500 respectively, dropped 5k for soup b4 i left d house in s mrn, ate lunch outside 2,100 ,bought 2 everyday bread 450 ×2= 900, 1pack small size eva water=880, on my way home, i branched and took 1 plate of pepper soup with i bottle of Heineken =1,100, gave a frnd 3k,( though he said he will pay back) bought cheese balls and cake biscuit for my 3 year old daughter, almost 900 naira. The truth is that no day dat i wake up that i don't spend compulsory 15k to 20k,, aside from all that i mentioned above.

I know all the expenses like dstv are not everyday but i just thank God, by time i check my monthly expenses, i will notice i have spent more dan 250k on food and daily needs.house rent excluded. But my anger is the way those bankers that wear suit treat people like us who are artisans, wen we want to do something in the bank,you will begin to wonder if its their father that owns d bank irrespective of the fact that their salary is nothing to write home about..... I JUST THANK GOD FOR HIS DAILY PROVISION, IF NOT, 9JA WOULD BE HELL FIRE FIR SOME PPLE LIKE US WITH A LOT OF RESPONSIBILITIES.....

Don't hate my comment please, i didnt fake any figure up there but i will advise salary earners to look for daily income businesses and venture into , so that they wont have to wait for every 30 days to start getting good things for themselves

Lolz, I know someone that had an investment that gave him 120k monthly 2013. The fellow then relocated to the US. Every month end I will convert and send the money to him to sustain himself till he finds his feet. That 120k was about $900. Omo, that money started collapsing, by 2015, 2017 money come de less. 120k became leaner $700, 500, 400, haba. Bros abandoned the money after some time.
Today that 120k gives you a little over $200!
Sai baba has worked wella.
$100 =14,000
Vs
$100=51,000
How salary go make sense

SageX1444:
That's why those earning in USD are not feeling the impact of Bubu's "rough driving". Look at how we fell from 900 to less than 300. I hope Naira heals post 2023 if not, we're heading to the path Indonesia took.

18k to 50k - lower class

50k to 200k - middle class

200k to 500k - upper class

500k and above - Rich.


Unfortunately, more than 50% of Nigeria's population are on the lower class threshold, no surprise we're the poverty capital of the world.

If you find yourself in the middle class, na God's Grace. But right now, even they live like poor people due to the sky-high prices of commodities.

BoboKush:
I did charging of battery and phones at garage for touts for two years so many bad experience to collect money from tout.... Lose person phone.... Person battery over charge..... Phone Wil just off.... Slap n everything.... It was almost miserable tym of MA life..... But thank God for today.. . We getting dere n everything is better naw... Hoping for the best soon

FalseProphet1:
No amount of money is enough to survive in Nigeria presently cos both the rich and poor are seriously feeling the effects of this administration. People earning 50k and less are wailing bitterly, people earning 500k are wailing as well, if you want to survive as a youth, just save enough money and escape from this fiercy furnace called Nigeria, even if it's Ghana just go there and manage yourself.


This I have seen.

RedboneSmith:


Honestly, I don't know why anyone would consider 50K middle class. A while ago, I left a job that paid me 130K, and while I didn't go hungry it was quite tasking for me to meet up with expenses: fuel and maintain my car, pay rent, send a little something from time to time to my people, dash girlfriend small money, add new stuff to my wardrobe from time to time, etc.

Abeg if your money no reach at least 350K monthly in this current Nigeria, you're not middle class. You're poor.

sheanzy:

If u are earning less na 1m a month, u are very poor, remember when I was been paid 520k a month, before last week of every month I won't know when I have spent 95percent of the Money. Just terrible , thank God I'm in a better position now

Elizkid:
what do you do?

Dijita:


Earning about $1000 a month in Nigeria a month is not poor. You may not be rich but it is not poor. Your spending habit or responsibility may make you poor but it is not your earning that is poor.

There are lot of Nigerians abroad whose take home pay are not up to #1m (about $2500) a month and are living decent life where cost of livings are more expensive than Nigeria. These guys still send money home to help people and still work little by little on their project.

The problem with some of us is that we are living above our level of income.

oh my gosh......
this is the most funniest post have ever read on nairaland.

Lolzzz....

tensazangetsu20:
30 to 50k. Thats what most jobs in Nigeria pay.

Creamz:
The average salary in Nigeria is 31,000 naira or less. We have more underpaid workers than those who earn optimal wages.

Our average salary self in Nigeria cannot buy 1 bag of rice and one chicken. So why people nor go run comot to seek a better future?

Guy!
Full Bank staffs earn decent income . Ancient bank like Wema pay their 25-27yr old executive assistants 221k monthly before tax, 300k leave allowance annually, sometime Profit sharing upto 400k but not feasible this days & December bonuses,13month salary, good pension & HMO, 5k for weekend duties and they have access to loan.
And if you are in the branch , there are so many insider trading full staffs does ( Dropping MTCN for Gboys, Forex trading, POS business, Domiciliary account funding for car purchase, study abroad bank statement etc).
Don't compare Workforce/Whytecleon contract staffs earning 75k-115k to them.

blockgeek69:
It's relative. It depends a lot on the kind of house you want to stay in Lagos, and also the distance to your place of work. Let's assume you are single and goes for a self con in the mainland, you should strive to earn 100 - 150k to be able to pay your rent and cover some other expenses.

The sad thing is that, most low and average income earners in Lagos have little to no saving. Whatever they make goes into immediate needs.

But the sad reality is that, more than 60% of Lagos residence earns less than 50k. You can easily see that in the standard of living.
