In the list it wasn't stated that way
That's why i didn't talk about rent
All in all spending 600k is based on choice not necessity because if you don't have the 600k you will still survive and everyone will adapt

Jodera:
The bolded, I see it as something new gen z upbringing sha. In our family we don't do it and even while growing up, I nor my siblings weren't exposed to such sha and we didn't see any big deal in that. But no matter how we want to look at it, it's still luxury. It's just one of those luxury instilled as necessity by most parents. Just as some people can't do without having/subbing DStv in their home because they think it's necessity.

As for the others, aside personal surfing which I use on my phone, most of the others is just once in a while and it's not most families that have this home internet sef. Average Nigerian family man doesn't have smile or swift at home in this our obodo naija. As for Smart TV... Lol, that's really luxury. Except one have it before cos he's once Rich, what would make a family man earning like let's say 200k have smart TV when he can buy normal wall Lcd TV?

Na egbons full here oo

CAPdan21:

You're not getting the point...most of the things you posted up there can be streamlined or even cut from the budget by the salary earner and neither he nor the family is any worse for wear...As long as he is able to take care of the most important things in the family nobody go ask am question

BlueRayDick:




I believe we are talking about a middle-class family and not an extremely poor family na. Smart TV was still around N350k before Buhari left. That is not expensive, even civil servants can afford to get them via membership of co-operative societies. If someone earning 600k cannot use Smart Tv, then who can afford it then?

As regards the snack, u would not want ur child to beg other kids because u are being principled or frugal. Snacking is something almost every kid does. U can't just go zero on snacking if u don't want ur child to be begging other kids or worse still, steal from others. Na ur pikin teacher sef go advise u to try dey give the pikin if at all bobo and coaster biscuit make other pikin for rest

They told me in my sons school he was always looking at his classmates when they munch their snacks and advised we also buy for him.

I had no choice. Is it really luxury? What alternative do I have. Tell him not to look at them when they eat?

Theflint1:
The alternative is you take your kids to a school where the majority of children don't munch on snacks, that way you'd most likely be saving on school fees, and your son won't have anybody munching on snacks to look at.

BlueRayDick:


Don’t mind Jodera . As if we all didn’t have classmates whose are known for begging . As a parent u definitely won’t want ur child to be in such position and u will do everything possible to make not develop such bad habits .

It’s not even about luxury .

GloriousGbola:


That's called a state/public school.

pkasso:
Which South African girls fine? Abi na their posterior endowment dey confuse you? Sey you carry nyash no mean say you fine oh.

I will also pretend i didn't see you sneak in Edo. Propaganda is allowed sha.

Itsrm:


I think the state of the economy is now making us see basic things as luxury. Cooking with gas will soon be luxury. People will be advised to cook with firewood

Theflint1:
These guys are prepared to send us to Nigeria of 2003 just to advance this live within your budget narrative. LCD TVs have been pretty normal since like 2008 and almost 20 years later it's still supposed to be seen as a staple.

Emaprince:
People can be earning 100k and 200k and still be surviving. But I'm sure if they bare their hearts to you, na there you go understand wetin dey occur around them.

Same way we come here to lament about the hardship and how its been affecting us in different ways, there are people that will use us as a point of reference to make arguement in real life as ones that are very ok in this tinubu administration...not knowing we dey lament on nairaland daily.

Why this talk no sit well with many of una?

Una dey ball, come dey form struggling Nigerians baa?

600k can take care of a family man depending on how he cuts his coat

Na so una get money, wey 600k no fit take care of families again?
