The appropriate word to use is income, which may comprise of one's salary and proceedss from other histles. Thus, it is wrong to use 6 month's worth of income to pay rent. |

press9jatv:She's correct. It's a popular saying that has been proven over time. If you stay in a house of 1.2 m per year, earning N200k per month...That means you won't have savings at the end of year cos 50% of your annual income goes into rent |

In Nigeria most things are above the average man's means. Does she want them to live in a mud house? This simply shows how overpriced rent are. Most real estate agency are after yahoo boys not the actual working man. We need low income housing in Nigeria badly. |
