Even if you are earning N5m monthly, as long as you are following some yeye social conformity, it can never be enough

The surest way to live comfortably in Lagos is to be a successful and thriving entrepreneur or have multiple streams of income, salaries carry curses that can never be enough nor make you rich, Carl Toriola the highest paid Nigerian no be Dangote and Otedola mate, anywhere they seat Carl must stand up

bukatyne:
Per day or per week?

Ericmaestrooffi:
I earn 300k , single but some how it doesn’t feel enough.

Lagos is very expensive. As a single guy if you can do away with womanizing, gambling and other useless ventures you should be able to live comfortably if you earn above 200k.

There is no comfortable Salary. The only thing is if you are CONTENT with what you have

Truth be told from N130k, if you are single. You can manage well

The wife's bonus is used to pay the rent. And the house is to the wife's workplace that is why they are living in the house

As in.

The Lekki married man said he doesn't have any savings despite earning such amount.


First, I think the house rent is quite much (#5M) per annum.
The money spent on rent can be used for another thing.

In summary, I think it depends on individual. Many will still complain even if they're earning #10-#15M per month.

Learning how to manage ones wants and needs is very important.

Ikoyi Architect and Lekki married man are seriously flirting with poverty.

cucumbar:
But Carl is rich by all standards, even though he earns salary.

Even Dangote and otedola don’t make the same amount. One is richer than the other even if so slightly.

There are people that are entrepreneurs and have multiple streams of income that don’t make as much as some salary earners with all their incomes combined.

Riches/wealth/success is subjective.

The idea that salary doesn’t make you rich is false.
