25k? Naija can be very unforgiving. You may have to choose a different career path. The current one is not sustainable.

Do you live on your own? Because I don’t understand how 13k can do all these for you. That’s not even up to how much I spend on airtime alone in a month.
I'm still a teenager, and I stay with my parents. The salary is jus for me to take care of myself.

hahahaha wahala for anyone way no de make in dollars.
i quit my 9 to 5 job cos at the end all the salary go for transport (Abuja worst) , food, cloth, family and other miscellaneous at the end you get paid 50k. stock jeans self na 7k or above.


but now as a freelancer one job is 50k minimum and within 3 days job is completed, not that time you will be working for 30 days without no sleep because you want to survive. In Nigeria now, you have to work smart not work hard. Skills jobs pay more now.

when the Nigeria bad electricity wanted to make go back to working for someone i discovered solar, now i have light 247 to do my business without buy that their evil fuel price to power my home.

Even having a YouTube channel is more promising than wasting your time following celebrity on all social media.

In my state, people who dig white sand for building construction make more than 7k to 12k daily excluding Sunday, calculate it in one month.

Truly if you can survive in Nigeria, bro i swear you can survive any where in this world.

Same here. I resigned from my banking job. My life changed when I started earning in USD. Now I earned several thousands of dollars in my apartment. If you still earning in naira you are gone

Dear salary earners like me, how do you manage your salary with the current economic situation and high cost of commodities (more than 50% and above), how do you cope.

Imaging my landlord increasing rent twice 40k and 100k in less than two years and expect compliance.

I earn close to 60k minus the side gig.
Now my monthly expenses look this way,
1. Food & Groceries 8-10k
2. Tithes (y'all know the figure)
3. Transportation 3k
4. Siblings support and pocket money 8k
5. Miscellaneous 3k

N.B: I lived the MGTOW life so its the elbow to elbow lifestyle for me, no commitment and I stayed up north.

Folks should kindly factor in their locations while dropping their punchlines here.

I live in kaduna and i'm genuinely intrested to know how 10k food could sustain an adult, do you mind elaborating on your budget?

It hasn't been easy at all

The first thing I do when I receive salary is to draw up a list of the things I don't have in the house and shop for them first especially foodstuffs because the worst thing that would happen to you is if you're hungry in this kind of economic situation

Then I subscribe for internet and my DSTV to keep me entertained in the house so as to avoid some unnecessary things that would make me leave my house and spend unnecessarily

I try not to carry a lot of cash around so as not to fall into the temptation of unnecessary expenses

Finally, as a single guy, I avoid slay mamas for unnecessary billing or if I can't, I'll just say things to get them upset and not apologising so that the drama will last long

Not to mention that I'm still acquiring skills to help me move out of this country and be useful outside because I can't allow my kids experience what I'm experiencing
Kudos bro, what type of skills are you acquiring?

I'm not a salary earner, nor" do i have good work that will be fetching me money to take care of myself and love one's.

I stayed close to the farm, so most of the food I consumed is purchased during the season and it's a cheaper.

I'm only left with money for proteins and seasonings even with that I source locally for chickens, goats and fish.

And you still surprised about the magic 10k can do, I'm no heavy eater, could eat maybe once or at most twice and I'm good to go.
