i cant live in indiana, Houston or mississippi due to the quality of life and aesthetics display of those states/city.

Austin texas to me is among the cheapest you could get and still live fine
Except you have your own business, the pay is not comparable to those NE states. Almost half! If you were making $40/ in NYC, be ready to take a pay cut of around $25- 28 / hour.
Other things are toll, property tax and health insurance. Those are things taken for granted in NE but would take almost 50% of ones income in Texas.

Also, know that there very beautiful suburban neighborhoods around Houston. Like cypress, spring, sugar land, Katy and woodlands. Houses there are just breathtaking.

It's not easy sha.

Used to save like 200k when I was doing house project, but Naira value keep dropping and 200k no longer enough to cater for the family. So project started suffering, so family can survive.

Generator is just to keep foods in fridge refrigerated, if not they will spoil.

Saving is not easy oo. We opened joint account for saving but once in a while, problem go come out and we dip hands in the savings. Last time, car engine knock, have to buy tokumbo engine

Na to jakpa comot remain, but where man go see the proof of fund for a family of 5 kwanu?
na Japa good naw but owo no easy..

things also get insanely expensive in the last couple of years, finding a bedroom of $1400 monthly is like searching for a needle in an ocean

Work with an American NGO in Abuja, earn N826,400 after tax. Spend around 500 to 600k monthly mainly on tithe, feeding, fuel, outings, church donation etc. my office gives me 40g data monthly so I don't spend on data and save minimum of 100k monthly.

What's the process of getting this sort of NGO application?
Not your particular organization.. I mean similar ones. I'll be glad if you can recommend one. Thanks

I find this hard to believe.

When you earn more, you are likely to spend more. That's human behaviour. Earning over 1m and spending less than 10% doesn't sound realistic. Unless you are a female and have a supportive boyfriend or you live with a husband or parents.
Finding it hard to believe doesn't mean it's a lie besides my rent, all I spend on is buy food at home and cook while I work.
Except some weekend when I'll choose to eat out

I earn just 70k per month, brethren, the money is not enough for me and my family. Sometimes, I live on debt before the end of the month. Recently my wife started doing something. God has been faithful to us.
Salary job nowadays is like serving in jail.

Earn a modest £30k/a. My expenditures are split into 4 categories. the Must (Taxes), the Needs (food, rent/mortgage, clothes, utilities, fuel etc), the Wants (eating out, recreation, gym membership, new pair of Palm Angels, holidays etc.) and the Miscellaneous (sister needs this, brother needs that and what not) The last two are where I can play around. Some months I can save a bit...other months I can spend the lot.

Not gonna lie, the rate COL has skyrocketed is seriously alarming.

I can only imagine how some people manage to survive.

I spend ₦50-60k monthly (I cut extremely down on needless spending) and save 30% in stock trading account (₦57-100k+)

Good months, I save more.

And to those struggling, my advice is they learn how to leverage legit opportunities on the internet.

Any serious and really hungry, 100-300k online monthly is easy.

God go help all of us shaa.

Electricity seems quite good during my work house, I have a 4.8kw battery and solar, petrol once a while I'll always buy 4k I can use it a week.. all my other siblings are doing well also....

For feeding when I buy foodstuffs I might not buy for the next two months since I'm staying alone

Besides I give my mom money monthly don't have a budget to that

But for myself I don't spend more that 100k my social life is not something to write home about... mostly indoors due to work
