Am I Doing The Right Thing? Advise Needed by Newborn27(f): 6:51am On Jul 27, 2022 |
Good day family landers. I'm here again with my epistle but I'm confused as the session is wrapping up I need advice towards the upcoming session. Last year I posted my story here on how I shoulder responsibility with my 35k teaching job yet facing abuse from my spouse. I was advised bymatured NLanders to start saving from my little salary to inculcate the saving habit and for future purposes....so far, since June last year I've been doing that and the results are both positive and negative. Breakdown of the 35k monthly 2k compulsory savings (welfare1)deducted by the school to be given when you're resigning. 1500 tax ...I no sabi how dem calculate am 12k savings into school welfare2 where I can have access to loan of the double amount of my savings ..eg, if I save 100k I fit borrow 200k 10k thrift done amidst staff where we pick numbers to pack in 50k's (5months) 10k deductions for my 2kids tuition fees to be deducted 4times per term...they pay #21,500 each I only add money when we buy new uniforms or books and parties like Carol, career day etc The positive part. I was able to do a business in Feb-March this year from my savings... though it wasn't much but I gained close to 200k which enable me to pay my rent of 70k, buy a big generator of 95k(I bought this to as an asset,I can't keep it in my account I'd spend it without any good account for it basically on foodstuff)...pay my kids tuition fees of 61k and settled many debts I was owing. The negative part I discovered that since that last year's June I no longer receive salary. Salary is just audio to me...when other teaching staff are buying new things monthly...I just remain the same no new wears... can't make good hair just #200 weaving and sometimes I borrow to buy foodstuff which I do pay with my extra lesson fees. Since that last year...once the salary is paid my boss would always call me to pay her my minus i.e the excess after all the deductions, so I always have something to pay her at the end of the month ranging 2-5k monthly. My question is Am I doing the right thing? Or am I taking the advice in the wrong way? What can I do to enable me balance myself? The savings are helping but I no longer receive salary. Please advise me on what to do... Cc lalasticlala Dominique Royalty Kindly push to frontpage for a wider view. Thanks |

reduce the amount you are saving with the school welfare. you shouldn't be saving so much because you hope to have access to loans 10 Likes 1 Share |

Newborn27: Buy and read the book 'The Richest Man In Babylon'. It's a small book. Read page by page, digest and practice it. I am sure it will help you. More importantly, the answer to your question would have dawned on you by the time you finish reading it. 2 Likes |

YourHighTension: You are absolutely right. Op can download a free copy online. In addition Op, i think u are trying 35k is peanuts as it can't make u live out of poverty, however, the business you are into can given more attention so that it can increase your earning potential and help you diversify into other businesses. Kindly of necessity read and meditate on the content in the pages of that book The Richest Man In Babylon by George S. Clason 1 Like |

infogenius: Thanks for your contribution. The business I did wasn't a long term one....I did it within a month period. It was selling of career day's costumes in which I traveled from Ore to Lagos- Idumota within 4weekends. As soon as the program ended the business also ended. My teaching routine never give room for other activities not to talk of business..even during holidays we'd be on seminar. Some persons advices me on content writing when I was at the verge of losing my job then but I don't know what it entails and how to balance it with my 7am- 6pm routine. |
