40 more characters needed for simple question that requires one line of answer?

6k per day on food
30k internet
15k NEPA bill
5k airtime
20-50k as gift to friends and family.

That's 250-280k
[color=#006600][/color]

30k for internet monthly, then you must be making 400-500k online monthly!

Wow.

Nice words.

I appreciate.
Elizkid:
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.

second Father of the house , taking care of family needs one way or the other . But I never marry or born . Also balling balling . chopping life on a stead cheesy cheesy cheesy less i forget nepa bills , data sub almost 40k per month , food etc. I should have added house rent but that one comes once in a year and too small compared to what I earn in a month . so that one is not necessary

I earn 60k working as a security man in market square.
I spend 8k weekly.
I buy things and food 8k.
I mostly stay indoor
8k weekly? You try sharrr, maybe things are cheaper in your area.
Where I am staying, you carry 8k enter market to cook small manageable "bachelor size" soup,2 or more important ingredients to buy will still be there,but the 8k has finished in your hand already. grin grin
Not to talk of using it for a week.
So your area is really good.

I love this topic, I thought I was being exorbitant, now I have confirmed I'm not.
I spend at least 130k a month too, you feel like where are all this money going to, till you calculate and find out that things are pretty expensive
Oga you try, how you guys do it I don't know. Me my average daily varies from 50 to 500k daily, sometimes even more. Today was low as I have not stepped out from home. It should be between 35 to 45k.

No cap minimum of 250k (definitely higher some months depending on one or two)... I rarely cook tho and I club (strip) atleast once or twice a month. Out of that amount, 30k goes to electricity bill (Band A shii).

She lives with us, fed by us, cream, soap and everything. Beside she told us she wanted 20k payment, we willingly offered 30k. Then increased to 40k the following month. There is still gonna be gradual increase with time
