That's roughly $3.8k a month.
Is that what you spend or what you earn?
check you mistakenly put dollars there.

if u look at my comment, I said I spend more than 100k, not 100k.

Moreover 100k a month could afford basic lifestyle for a single person, if u cook ur own meals, doesn't spend on gadgets, doesn't waste data on Instagram and TikTok.
100k is enough for a moderate lifestyle

What I know is, I don’t spend less down 10k in a day.
Weekends I spend atleast 50k especially Sundays
So technically I spend 400-600 monthly. I live alone.

I normally try to fill up my 12.5kg gas, so that cuts down the cost to a good margin. So, I'll say 120k a month

I spend around 120k on feeding alone. No rent, no data, no bills, no girlfriend tips, no big boy.

100k is small na,

I spend 6k daily for feeding, that's 90k monthly for just feeding. We go still ball and pay other bills
6k daily is 180k. It's like you are lying.

The person I quoted stated the amount in dollars. It's ok though. She's mentioned that it's what she earns.

I doubt if black tax should be considered part of the cost of living.
Otherwise my own COL will be scary 😂😂😂😂
Re: Single people: How much Do You Spend On Cost Of Living. by CaptainFM1: 12:24pm On Jul 28, 2025
The cost of living is costing the lives of the living.

That's ok.
If you are in Nigeria, that's a lot of money though. May we earn enough to meet our needs.

Guy you have Xbox!

What model? The first ever xbox that came then, i played it in 2011.

But what do you use it for. Because i know it serve many purposes like streaming films, maybe playing music, and finally video games.
Elizkid:
Roughly 5-6k per day on food if I'm eating out.

On days when I don't, probably just 2-3k for meat/fish and peppers, cause I have everything one could need for cooking at home.

Stocking the house with food costs 50-80k, but it usually lasts me 40-50 days

Transport 3-5k daily on the max 7-10 days when I step out in a month.

Data 10k personal, 5k for the TV and Xbox.

These are the only spendings with constant patterns.

I've Xbox Series S

I use it for streaming Netflix, Spotify, YouTube, and watching live football & UFC matches.

As for gaming, I mostly play online on eFootball, Apex Legends, and Warframe.

My TV is Android TV, but I prefer the Xbox interface and ease of navigation. I also have an Xbox tv remote for comfort, so I don't use the pad to move around.
