8-10k for daily transportation
3k a week on data
About 3k streaming Subscription to either showmax or prime video monthly
6k for Electricity monthly
12k for gen fuel each week

Do u realize that with 12k for fuel every week, you are spending over 600k for fuel in a year. I did this maths on mine and I was almost spending close to my rent money on generator. I am thinking of installing solar inverter

geoworldedu:


15k on food. You no dey eat o. How 15k food dey do you for one month.

I think maybe he meant to say he bought only half bag of local rice for 15k because 15k in a month for food is not possible except he is has food stuffs already then the 15k will be for ingredients

Fatbam005:
One will be amazed if the true calculation is revealed at the end of the year. It's a strange world. The more reason it is very difficult to save for not too buoyant income earners.other emergencies not yet factored in. Omo you will be dazed

They must always be unplanned problem that need money.

Dstv, internet, domestic help,electrity, fuel (gen and car), I spend over 250k monthly. Lets not add food and co. It's really crazy.

Naija is on survival of the fittest... cut off unnecessary expenses.

I dey tell you. In a month somehow you need to buy cooked food outside sometimes and you must spend at least #700 if you want to be half belleful. So if you eat outside10 times in a month, you have already spent 7k eating, so in which acct should we put that?

Gentlesoul2021:
An average of 5k is spent on subscription/utilities per month with 12months in a year depending on individual in this sinking government; data sub, tv sub, electricity sub, airtime sub, gas bill et al...

Data sub: 5k or more depending on individual. There are some users spending heavily on this..
Airtime sub: 5k or more depending on individual
DStv yanga (with reasonable channels) is 4,200
Prepaid Meter recharge: 5k or more depending on individual
Refilling of gas for 6kg is 6k+ depending on individual. There are those with 12kg cylinder...
===> An average of 300,000 is spent on subscription per year..

What about;
Feeding
Transport
Rent
Groceries and Cloth
Lawma

What about those with family...??!!!

MAY GOD HELP THE SON OF MAN in this trying time!!!..

Omo! I neva reason am like diz before

HOUSE RENT- I save towards it every month before my rent is due. I can't start running helter skelter biko.

SCHOOL FEE- Myself & my wife share the bill 70%-30% every term. That was after we changed their school from where them wan use price cut our throat.

ELECTRICITY- I use prepaid metre and normally recharge 50K for the whole year. e dey remain self because most gadgets in my house are energy saving.

GENERATOR- 15K fuel monthly. 2 hours of generator whenever there's no light at night. Most times, our fuel dey remain self.

DATA & AIRTIME- #5500 MTN 40GB. I do send data from the 40GB to wifey & kid. Because when I'm at work, I use office wi-fi.

DSTV- Cancelled. We don comot hand for their matter. My children have tabs and I don load am with cartoons.
I have PS4, I watch seasonal movies on DVD, I also stream matches online. My wife watches her NETFLIX stuff online too. No time to dey dash DSTV people shishi.

TRANSPORT- 40K monthly with many short distance trekking. No unnecessary Okada or 'Big manism'.


FUELING OF CAR- Around 20K - 30K depending on how frequently we go out that month. Wifey do support in sharing this bill as well. So sometimes, na 10K I go just drop.

FEEDING- 70K from me, 30K from wifey. She go carry the 100K enter KARA market near EPE. Food stuff go full house throway. She go still buy Tea & milk join am.

TOILETERIES- Stuff like soaps (bathing & washing), air freshner, toothpaste, insecticide, etc. Na my wife dey take care of am because she sells them in her shop.

SNACKS THAT MY KIDS TAKE TO SCHOOL- na my wife dey run that one too o. I can't even remember the last time she asked me for money.

CLOTHES & SHOES FOR HERSELF & KIDS- We dey share the cost 50-50. Na me no dey buy ever clothes.

IN CONCLUSION- If you want to live long as a man in Nigeria, marry a woman that is working and willing to support with the bills. If not, you go know why dem sey Nigeria hard. Thank God for my darling wife, she has really been supportive and I love her so much for that.

Gotv sub 7,600.

E choke sha

These things are not expensive oh compare to bills from developed world.

The problem with Nigeria is not that things are expensive, it's only that a lot of Nigerians earn substandard pay or wages.

Imagine if the least worker (s cleaner) in Nigeria is eaening 200k. Diploma graduates 300k least and undergraduates 400k least while post-graduates 500k and above. Life won't be this hard.

Your banks were paying drivers 70k to 80k because these drivers were surviving on cheap subsidy fuel while the banks cash out with billions every year as profits. Now that subsidy is gone, banks are now paying drivers 150k to 200k which is what they should have been doing a long time.

So my people, our data, power and utilities cost cannot be as expensive as Europe, America or advance countries. Difference is they earn a decent pay. Here, the politicians have stolen the monies that should have spread to pay workers decent pay. Our currency has also devalued leading to inflation. So we need to standardize pay and also the performance of work so both employer and employee can have a win/win outcome.

I forgot to add is not only DStv I downgraded I also downgraded the school ooooo. The school my children are going now hmmm the school fees for the two of them for 1year is the school fees for their previous school for one child for 2 terms. On school fees alone am saving close to N1.5million fa. Madam is not happy ooo neither is my mum . My mum even offered to balance the school fees but I refused. But like I said it's a temporary thing. Expensive school are luxury if you can afford it. The former school had mopol escort in each school bus. The school bus is executive and only 8 children per hummer bus tinted glass etc. hmmm . Am not happy oo but what can I do!!

Take your mom up on her offer.
Don't treat your kids' education like a DSTV sub plan.
Insomuch as you're certain that the quality of education matches the sticker price, pony up for it.
If you can't, and someone else offers support, accept it, thank your stars, and express gratitude to your benefactor.

Gotv-5800
Data-6000
Light-8000
Gas-5000

Eeyah.
Sorry about your sister's situation.
We will always compare as long as people want to paint the picture of a non existing eldorado elsewhere.

If you too dey spend on data, chat me up for cheaper SME data bundles that are valid for 30days

Oga it's not only the school fees oooo. How about the other things that they do in the school like holidays abroad , excursion abroad and boasting rights etc. That school is in a class I don't belong to at the moment. I don't want only my kids to be left out of class activities because I can't afford it. Besides I don't want to be under financial pressure for luxury activities nor do I want to run to my mother like some kind of mothers boy. Anyways a man has to adjust ooo . Fake life not the best. But hopefully by August this year if Tinubu does not spring any surprises they will be back in that school . I took my family for short stay in Hallmark hotel victoria island only for my kids to bring two of their classmates to my room claiming they have been in the hotel for over 10 days fa. My dear money is good but learn to adjust quickly to changing circumstances. Though part of my problem was a diesel business gone bad coupled with the COVID 19 and Nigerian economy of resent. The combination was like 4hit combo in street fighter hyper fighting but am holding the block botten to prevent annihilation from aggressive attack by life(opponent).
