For single guys one thing I notice is that if you can cultivate that habit of not going out unecessarily after work/biz or at least limit it, you will save money.

Hanging out with friends, staying late night etc prompt unecessarily spending

But for married people, you don't have a choice. Wife and children must eat.

Thumbs up to all family men and women struggling legimately to cater for their families... You are the real mvp!
The single can take out a life assurance policy it help them reduce their PAYE liabilities. Plus they should cultivate the habit of saving. It doesn't prompt unnecessary spending, if you don't have, you don't have you should not buy to show off, after some time the friends will not call your to hang out. Unfortunately Nigerians love show off at any given opportunity.

An Auntie did this,
Some ofhe money they sent to her for her son naming or do giving birth was converted to $ and some saves in Mutual funds, it from there they pay the boys school fees, monthly expenses for the boy an other things
dhoncesar:




The basic thing is that an average man in Nigeria is not feeding on his salary. When you calculate how much you spend daily on feeding transport giving flexing ashawo money like some said ,giving to gf, clothing and so on. You will discover that you actually spend more than your salary. Except you have a side hustle or your salary is okay enough for you. But for family men, an unexpected spending will surely come in.

Like now. I got home yesterday and my son had injured himself. I spent extra 10k and still counting. Money wey b say I suppose use arrange him graduation bill.

All is well

Yes o...
At my place of work the other day(am a private school teacher). A female colleague was asking my why I don't often buy ashoebi when attending ceremonies of there colleague?

I asked: between my presence and buying ashoebi, which is more important?. She said both

To me I said its the presence that matters. She told when am am getting married people won't equally buy my ashoebi and I replied I won't even sell ashoebi to them and she was just looking at me.

The last asoebi they brought for a traditional marriage was 2k. And I will need at least 4k to sew it. Put together is more than 10% of my salary. One other colleague confided in me that he is yet to pay for the sewing for the previous ashoebi bought

I am not against things like that... It's actually beautiful and nice. If there is extra money to spare - why not. But not trying to please people when you know it's killing you.

The last wedding we all attended, I was the only one who sprayed the celebrant good amount of money. Most sat down with their asoebi wondering how I get money to always spray celebrant. They didn't know that the 2k I sprayed is the amount I put together for the ashoebi that I didn't buy���

Have you heard of addiction? Hv you been to Munshin or Down town Ogun?

Yes, I’ve been to Ogun. Never been to Mushin..

Weed is cheap. 3k weed is much. If you sit down with it from morning till night, you won’t still finish it.. especially if you’re rolling with a brown rizzlar..

..... You dey try. Only fueling of my car and the generator on daily is more than 5k.

Children's breakfast and the ones in their food packs alone cost like 4k daily.

Then 150 naira ice cream for each on their way back from school for 4 kids is like 600 naira.

Fueling of my wife's car everyday is like 2000 naira. Other unforseen expenses like refusing to eat what's available in the house and buying them snacks on my way home .
Let's say I spend like 14 to 15k.



You must be a rich man by always fueling your wife's car. She no dey work? If you no dey rich, please mind your health.

Hmmmmmmmm!! I spend between N20,000 to N30,000+ daily excluding school fees and once a while frivolities; as a married man living in Abuja. The figure is this way because we plan very well and try to save by buying food items in bulk; cook and store up food in the freezer. I can give a breakdown if need be



You neva talk wetin dey gulp the 20 to 30k, if I hear. Even if you buy fuel that takes you to lag every day. If you buy foodstuffs in bulk, you can't be spending such amount. Abeg
