500k is no longer a decent salary even for a bachelor in the face of the economic summersaults policy of the current administration.
A bachelor should save at least 150kbon this 500k earnings joor

Folks who even between 300k to 500k are less than 20% of the Nigerian working class.

Nigeria system is the evil behind salary earners, after graduating from school parents will be expecting from you, our population is more than the available jobs, if parents or family members can stand with a new employer for at least 3 months, it will help so much so after the three months, get food stuffs, get things you will need like detergents that can sustain the person for at least two months, so after every month be toping your stuffs then have plans for savings, forget anything like OS, forget clubs because hype men will collect your savings my little take

And some people still believe Apc is doing Nigeria great… If Nigeria ever practice regional government, Yorubas will never allow Tinubu to rule them but they are happy he’s destroying Nigeria
That's the strange part. Yoruba will never let Tinubu rule them if it was a regional government.

Sometimes I need to go through my statement just for clarity because it seems money lost.

Just to load a single truck, I spend about a million for gas and labour.
Million has now become a normal figure in Nigeria

That’s my salary range……I sometimes save like 50k on a good month. I’m now trying to learn bitcoin as a side hustle.
learn how to invest on more reliable investment like index fund.
Bitcoin is unreliable and might crash or go up, but it's not based on any fundamentals like index fund.

Yorubas voted him to become a senator and again voted to become the governor of Lagos but for his current job as president and commander in chief,he only rigged to win, but he's twenty times doing better than buhari

Most Nigerians does not know how the economy is been run. They keep on blaming Tinubu who came to power less than 3 years ago for their problems.

Successive Military governments really mismanaged our economy especially IBB and Abacha .

Secondly the type of presidential system we practicing is too expensive to sustain.

Thirdly , Nigerians are too greedy with the high of level corruption which affects Nigeria economic growth and development.

Considering the fact that only about 5 percent of Nigerians earn that much, that's to tell you the level of suffering Tinubu and you guys has brought on Nigerians, i even thought i was living extravagantly, until I was able to accept the reality that this is the new normal now.
like how much do you think an unmarried man should be able to spend in a day?

yea me too.
I save 100k in a bad month. 200-400k in a good month. I do Uber with my car.

But since Tinubilization, as an economics it’s better I left it averagely 100k savings on the lowest. Other better months is a plus and jackpot.

It depends on the size of your dependants.
A man with large family will not be able to save much, vice versa.
Also, if you are the type that drink, womanize or clubbing, from your salary, sorry is your case.

lol. Tinubu that became president barely two years ago is why you’re poor and he’s also responsible for the inability of 95% of Nigerians to earn more than 500k? As in, do you guys think at all before posting craps like this?
Tinubu is the main cause

Depends on the person. The responsibilities of an unmarried man in his early twenties earning 500k cannot be compared to that of another married man with four children and a wife to cater for. The young guy will be able to save if he’s prudent while the married guy will struggle to manage the salary monthly without taking additional loan.
Surprisingly enough the married guy saves more with more responsibilities. I'm a good example.
