Re: Single people: How much Do You Spend On Cost Of Living. by PulaPower: 9:57am On Jul 28, 2025
It depends brother..

For me, I always have foodstuffs at home cuz here things are still cheap..

I live in my own house so I don’t pay rent..

The only thing I spend money on constantly:

Highness ( Shayo ), clubbing too..

Fuel for car and generator at home... Many people don advice me of solar, but ion know why, I just don’t fancy solar light..

I don’t have a gf or any relationship..

So, i have no fixed amount... But I spend way less compare to what I earn..

I doubt if black tax should be considered part of the cost of living.
Otherwise my own COL will be scary 😂😂😂😂

I'm a single prophet but I spend more money than most married people. Because I take care of my female members and widows.
