This country is becoming something else. With the current high house rent increase and bills, we pray we survive it.

I was just thinking out loud. For someone earning 100k salary monthly, staying in 650k-800k house, what's your strategy towards your house rent payment?
Knowing that you still have more bills to cater for monthly.

How do you save? What percentage do you save in a month?

With the little Salary been paid, Salary earners, how do you plan towards your current house rent payment?

A colleague was joking telling us, he's considering relocating to the village to start farming and staying in a free family apartment........hmmmmm
it is foolishness 100k as salary and live in in 650k house anyway maybe his father is rich

No na
this is too extreme
at N350 he can afford a 700k annual if he saves N65,000 towards it every month
We don't know if he's married or single with alot of responsibilities. Truth is 350 k currently in nigeria is chicken change if he's living in the west east or south .
But in the north that 350k will go a very long way.
May God not allow us to be working just to feed landlords.
Life is hard

That was a very stupid plan for anyone earning 100k and living in an apartment of 650 to 800k yearly
Your annual rent should not be more than your 2 months salary, for any wise person
That was the analogy of old(pre Tinubu), now if your rent is equivalent to two months salary,looking at the current inflation I think you'll have to fast for most part of the year unless you have a business.

Civil servants in Nigeria hardly afford rent. Except you work in elite parastatals, you are on your own.
Working in ministries, you must collect for back or rub with pen.

Or have something doing by the side.
It wasn't like this before now, right?

How can someone earning 100k will rent an apartment of 600k?
Personally, we arranged a kind of contribution amongst our coworkers and the rest is history!
Re: Salary Earners, How Do You Plan Towards Your rent payment? by gabbytabby: 10:25pm On Oct 22, 2024
On a rent of 650k to 800k your salary should be minimum 150k to 260k per month with an additional 20k for each household person.

A family of 4 the joint salary should be 210k to310k

Bros even if you earn 350k monthly , you have no business staying in a crib worth 650k to 800k for Tinubu regime.
Bro it depends on location. House is costly everywhere now. To get a better self contained in lagos is around 600k to 1 million total package

Very delicate matter considering the economy that everything went up and salaries stayed put.
In my case, it used to be like 5mths, then later 3mths,.
It further went down to 1mth and then ultimately 1 week and 3 days of pay.
And make no mistake, the rent i speak of were in millions of naira
The rest is history.

1. How can someone earning #100k - that is #1.2m per annum be paying rent of #650 - 800k? That's a mismatch.

2. Your rent shouldn't take more than 15 - 20% of your income.

3. Don't wait until payment period is very close before saving.

4. If your rent is as high as you stated either you change your accommodation to what you can afford or you diversify your sources of income.

5 At the earliest opportunity start planning on how to own your own property. Start small - half or quarter plot. Remote places where land is cheap. Is it possible? Yes. If the Yoruba mama that sells pepper can use ajor to do it you can also.

Funny post and responses. Nigerians are behaving like they are not seeing what’s happening in the country.

People saying rubbish like 100k salary should not stay in house of 500k. Oga, in this economy where can someone see house of 300k/PA?! Have you gone to price under bridge? Even wooden shed these days is more than 300k so what are you saying? Face me I face you is more than 500k!!!!!

Lets keep acting dumb like we don’t know house rent has increased by 200-300% recently. People earning 100-200k and renting house for 400k have found their house rent increased to 900k and don’t know what to do.

Keep acting dumb
sincerely bro, I was just scrolling down the comments and be seeing rents of 100k, 300k. I was like, no be same Nigeria we dey ni? Abi those commenting are from Zimbabwe
