Once you get your salary go to market and buy your foodstuffs at wholesale price. Spag from market is 310 and not 350, buying foodstuff within the street is stupidly crazy. Stop borrowing and try and make a budget round your income. 25k , safe 4-5k keep 2k for emergency then buy food stuff with the remaining, 15k will definitely be enough for foodstuff.

Dont mind the liar. Maybe it was 1980....lol

chatinent:

It is because there is sb you believe who is always willing to lend you.


Na food you come this life come chop? Ị kpebiri igbu onwe gị, chukwu nnam ehhh!


At a point in my life, I was paying my rents, bills, had a brother staying with me and I was paid ₦12k monthly. I had no one to lend me money.



Hello my brother,
I will not lie to you, neither will I mince words nor patronise you...thank God on Sunday I sha don't know you in person.

If the company provides accommodation for you...which translates that you don't pay rents, ekwesiri iji ntu kukasiagi isi!

I am not saying ₦25k is too big...but damn it, I read a post of a noble man here who is married and probably with kids now surviving on ₦35k monthly...ginwa họọrọ ịbụ onye na -eri oké nri. I don't think it's even because you wallow in gluttony...onu uto akugbola gi!

What nonsense! What akpiridacity!

If you aren't Igbo to understand what I am typing, na your problem.

I am catering for four of my siblings staying with me with nobody to borrow from, or an extra hand. The key is buying things in bulk. Avoid onu uto! Learn to drink water while you eat...eat small, drink water small! Six wraps of fufu does not mean you have made it in life...people eating two haven't died finish! Hapu umu agbogho!!

Better diverse your income and stop living a scavenger life or start making a scale of preference before ma pata gi aka.


Lalasticlala, come and carry your brother before I lose my temper.

Well, I'll add more things since you decided to update the thread with the below:

You need to stop depending on one source of income then!

For your mind now you don yarn. Can you live on #500 per day?

loswhite:
How much are you surviving on? You could as well say some ppl are surviving on 3k na...lol

By the Grace of God

Let's be realistic. He can't survive with that peanut salary in this tight economy.. Just pray God should open your eyes to better opportunities

Omoluabi16:
You can't live on 25k, much more make some savings out of it. Best you hope for and actually see better days.. a better job.

Dont mind all those hypocrites claiming they survive on 12k with bla bla relatives...lol. just tell them to list how they spend the 12k then you will hear super story

My brother, theree Is little or nothing you can do about it. You can send like 10k to someone in a northern state to get you food stuff and waybill to you if you have a trusted person, or Buy your food stuff with a months salary in bulk and save the following month or wait until the current ruler step down while we pray for a leader

Op no won get ulcer

your problem is that u overspend on food,not having friends is very bad.Let me give you how I feed with less than the amount you have.
Morning-oat goes for 1000 for 500g *4=4000
Evening-hungry man indomie for 200*7=1400*4=5600.
From above basic feeding is At most 10000
You can be using 3000for miscellaneous and afternoon feeding sometimes all through the month.
Remaing amount is12000 close eye and be saving 7000 out of it.
use the rest for what ever.
My two cents,hustling stage is not a place of enjoyment,there is also pain before the gain

Bro, make sure u always pray for a better job and ul be fine. Take care of urself

With no rent no t/fare, no Nepa bill no gf ... I can confidently say the OP is extravagant!

Guy life nor be any body mate do your best and leave the rest for God


Me i do motor boy pick bottle pick irons sell bread do house boy name it i suffer but never give up at the age of 21 i left Nigeria to God be the glory to day we are blessed

Iyaebe:
Truly men are really facing a lot to meet their financial needs,but you didn't state the cut for olosho,why did you hide that aspect? You see most of these present day young men ehn,even if they receive 10naira monthly they will still cut olosho own aside like 3naira from the 10naira and tell their parents they are receiving 7naira as salary.

lol... troublemaker

Please what's happening to glo

same thing that happened to mtn some days ago... Seems they are back though

manoflove22:
I earn 25k monthly,i use almost of it to buy food, and to fill my gas

Before 20th of the month, all the foodstuffs would be consumed, i will have to go on to borrow money to eat before the end of the month

Now the issue here is that My parent do ask me every time if I'm suffering from spirituality complications why i don't save for almost 3 years now I've been working, i tried to explain to them that the money is use to buy food

Note i live in the company's apartment, hence why I'm not living with them, and I'm 26years and have younger ones living with them

Now the help i need from you guys is how can you enlighten me how i can live on the money and still saving out of it, cos im not getting younger anymore

And in Nigeria where there is no job security,they can fire me from work anytime, how will i leave work without no saving and will still go home eating mama's food

This is the reasons why i don't have gf,friends or visit them at home thinking it will save me more money to save


This is not a life i wanted, help me guys


I'm not getting younger,now I'm planning to start some online business, buy a pos and do some stuff to earn me money monthly, so anytime i live this work i can rely on


Before u guys insult me or call me a glutton, please note this, in osun state where I'm living, foodstuffs is super expensive every day, spaghetti i always live on rises from 220 to 350naira presently

This is not a typical me, before Buhari' s administration, talking about 2015,i do save alot of money even those time i earn meager 10k monthly, even that time i have gf, friends

Brother, my biggest prayer is to find a breakthrough and in sha Allah it will be sooner than you imagine. Amin

Who ever is telling you to save out of that money is simply wicked. And haven't really been in your shoes. Please eat biko. And hurt for other jobs.earning 25k in the regime is simply torture.

Y'all should stop criticizing the guy. I earn double of that, no girlfriend. But the money no dey do me.

A new job, they pay me for the month in the third to fourth week of the next month sha.

Parents dey collect from my pay and I don't cook (Buhari's Nigeria makes eating out cheaper than cooking - prove me wrong on this if you can). I am contemplating beginning cooking this month. I nor sabi cook. But I have a plan on what to do.

Pele. I feel your pains but truth is you cannot eat all you earn. Its not natural. Open a savings account and don't collect ATM card for it. Then pay 5k into it. Invest in bulk buying. Buy at least 2 cartons of noodles. That ensures you at least a meal everyday and it cost 5k. Spice it up with veggies like ugu or water leaf so as to introduced nutrients into the meal. Buy cheap foods like cocoyam and sweet potatoes. Eat cheaper soups like okra and veggies. Buy kpomo and locust beans, your food will be sweet. These are survival tips you should have learned as an undergraduate. Most importantly, pls find alternate sources of income. Do side hustles on the weekend, buy an electric iron, then approach some reasonable people at church or on your street, offer to do their laundry for a token. Or get a mentor and learn a trade or craft. Buy things and resell... I once had a cousin back in the university who used to sell male bags... Those ones you sling over one shoulder and off you go. Dude was in medical school and so were most of his customers. He made madt monwy from it too. Entrepreneur spirit is gradually dying out as everyone wants an easy ride. I hope you can pick sth from thisy long story sha.

How much is a box of noodles?

How cheap are cocoyams and sweet potatoes?

I25k is too much for feeding for a single guy.
What about other necessities?

This guy is a liar

Try to read well, Aunty.

AK481:
Don't cook all the time since you are staying alone.
Mamaput, 2h morning, hold am till evening,nak another 3h.

You eat finish ,go house go drink water .

That is 500 hundred a day. Times 30 days is 15k.

Is 10k enough for other expenses like transport to work, toiletries, recharge card etc for a month?

Not 125k o

Work towards changing your job to a better paying job. Look out for additional legitimate sources of income.

OP.
This just involves you budgeting your money,and also learning how to manage the little you have.
Wetin you dey buy for 25k? Don't do fast food o, Omo that's the easiest way to loosely lavish your money.
Can't you make stew to last you for two weeks?
you can accurately budget your money to spend 10k on foodstuffs per month,then keep like 5k for miscellaneous, you'll still have extra 10k,to manage and save.
It just involves discipline.

For your mind, you don give advice, ba?

Can you live on 25K in this present economy? I guess you can. Maybe you still dey chop "Mummy, thank you" sha.

sonnie10:

That is 500 hundred a day. Times 30 days is 15k.

Is 10k enough for other expenses like transport to work, toiletries, recharge card etc for a month?

So $1.00 a day for food and $20 for toiletries and transportation each month?
You think that is a lot?
