I earn 760k a month and I don't pay house rent. I live in my family's house. I have been piling up my money in the back for years now. I work from home.

I was surprised to wake and realized it was a dream.

Taxes take 35%, from the balance rent 30%, savings 30%. Other expenses food, insurance, internet , car note, utilities etc. e no easy

twosquare:
I do that a lot. It is very realistic...it is just lifestyle. For me, I don't drink smoke or womanise...saving more is the key...coz there are some things in life ehn...if you no get sense....suffer no good...hmmm...i sha don say my own...

If I earn 1m, I can't spend more than 120k monthly and I'm generous with it...

what i do mostly is to budget 10k per week...and we only have 4 weeks in a month...so...it is good for those who work from home sha...public transport, and home-cooked food...

grandstar:


35k is quite low to live on in NYC. I learnt the place is expensive

angelfallz:
I bought bread today ₦600. It was ₦400 at the beginning of the year. What kind of bread cost ₦1k?

GeneralPula:

Keep working and piling up your money. You’ll live to praise yourself in the future..

Evaremedy:
I have gone through this thread from beginning to end; With what I am seeing on this thread Is like I am the only one earning 45k in Nigeria.
But what I don't understand is how come many Nigeria youth beg or are into scam white men

Arysexy:


Used to save before, but now na chop and be hopeful that things will be better we dey.

House project on pause.

Everything has increased except salary.

Man has to survive first before thinking of savings.

sonnie10:

I will not compare Texas to NYC in term of cost of living but I know that living in Texas is not cheap when you factor all the variables.

Ndidi2:

Solofresh2:
I earn close to 3m a month including my side hustle and I spend most than that in a month.
Lagos is not a joke

Chrisog:
Last 2years was hell for me as a working class after graduation. Since I made up my mind to hustle physical business and forget about goverment work,my story changed. Between March this year till now, I earn 1million naira and above. Some Months 750k n above depends on the market. Funny of it all is that I do my business in one remote village in Taraba State, cost of living is extremely low.

Ndidi2:
cut down on some things.
Every night we use small solar to do things and eat.
Except naw them Dee play women ball.

In our house no one is oning generator again.

All those leaving gen till 1 am don't on it again at all.

I bought 1 bag of white beans from nairaland here #43000. to reduce cost bc 1 bucket of sweet Brown is #2300 and their bucket de small.

I do pap myself and fry akara anyhow and plenty without thinking beans go soon finish.

Anytime l cook rice l cook beans.

I fry less now.l boil

No more poor ( pure water) l boil and sieve it all by myself.

We use estimated meter so l do most of my cooking with electricity no matter when. Especially beans.
