With structured living and cooperation from your wife you should be able to get by at least whilst your kids are still little however you need to consider upscaling your earnings as you e been advised by lots on here. Also, whatever you're earning, you need to factor in Tinubu's taxes especially if they get away with the doctored version because the part that has the bot about foreign exchange earnings will surely eat into your earnings apart from the income tax undecided undecided undecided undecided

.. that is 15k per day and.

450 k per month... government workers minimum wage is 70k per month in which they are surviving with it.
So 450k is alright if does not leave a luxurious life style
It's not 15k per day

He will be getting lower exchange rate and will be taxed

Car is a necessity for a family man and not a luxury

That $10 will be around 10k after conversion

He needs to save 2k daily for yearly rent because 2bdr flat here in Ibadan goes for 800k or even more depending on location except you want to rent a dilapidated or old house.

Yes nah, you can survive.$10 per day income?
That is #420,000 per month salary.
Do you know how much a fresh graduate employed in a state civil service as a level 8 officer earns in a month and he is surviving with a wife? It is roughly about 1/4 of your earning.
So you can live comfortably with your wife after all, you didn't mention children yet.
So you can live comfortably at your own level..oo.
When I said comfortably,I don't mean like politicians or Adeleke,Otedola and Dankote.

I will kindly advise you to upscale your earnings, since you got knowledge around online earnings, CPA Marketing would blow your earnings up. Believe me, you can be making nothing less than $500 weekly as a CPA marketer, no technical skills involved...

Just get into a reputable CPA network
Get a locker
Get a page created, and put in your lockers.
Run cheap YouTube shots ads
Sit and watch dollars rolling in.. it's simple.

CPA means cost per actions. Meaning you get a pay base on what action is done. On your offer link. Be it email, zip code, phone numbers, or form filling.
Good day, Boss.

Please, how does one get into a reputable CPA network?

Thank you.

See question for country wey people dey survive Wella with 1 dollar per day...
Depends on your taste Sha.
If you are economical and prudent you will do well with 10 dollar per day.
But if you are the extravagant type 100 dollars will not be enough....
Spot on.

You alone, yes but with family No.

I spend an average of 20k daily and I don't have my basic needs yet. I need to earn at least 100k daily to live a normal life in the current Nigeria.
You're wasteful, bro.

Hello Nairalanders,

Please, I’ll keep this brief and straight to the point.

I need honest opinions and practical advice.
Can someone realistically survive in Nigeria on a daily income of $10?. I work from home.

If no, please explain why.

If yes, I’d appreciate a clear strategy—how to manage it, possible business ideas, and how one could grow beyond that income level.

For context, I currently earn $10 daily online from my blog, and on some days $13.

If this income is not sustainable in the long run, I genuinely want to know so I can plan better and make informed decisions.

Constructive advice only, please.

Moderators, kindly assist with visibility. Thank you.
If you ain't the extravagant type, I think you can survive with that. Then try and set up a business for your wife. With this, you guys should be okay.

You will live in a slump, shop in the rural market and drive a 2003 Toyota Corolla.

Your wife will leave you after 6 months
$10 per day is far above the World Bank definition of poverty.

Why are you guys sounding like this?
Are you in Nigeria? If so, what's your average per day?

Wat are u guys saying? How many Nigerians are earning 420-450 a month? 10dollar a day is not that bad.

Btw, how much is minimum wage again?

My lashes and nails alone 10dollars don go. My advice, if you are not marry yet, don't marry. You wouldn't want to bring someone to come surfer with you. Would you?

Conclusion, 10dollars is too poor.

PS: Earn in dollars too so I know what I am saying. Exchange rate is not stable.
That amount will translate to about 450,000 naira monthly
How many of your relatives in Nigeria earn upto that?
Who do you form this rubbish online??

I'm seriously surprised by the comments I'm seeing here... 70% of Nigerians earn less than $10 a day and they are doing just fine,so I don't understand where those comments I saw on the front page are coming from undecided

The answer you seek, you already know. Only you know the type of food you'd like to eat, where you'd like to live, what car, clothes & lifestyle you want. When you have a family budget ie estimates of what you need on a daily, you will get your answer.

While some could conveniently live on 200k/month, 500k or 1m may not be enough for someone's else. Earning monthly average of 420k+ today puts you in a good place in contrast to a lot of people out there..

Advice! It shouldn't be very hard to scale up from $10 if you achieved that yourself but also remember account can be demonetised or lost so have a plan B or even plan C.

That is roughly 450k per month.

To start with,u need to first open to ur wife and tell her how much u earn and give her all the necessary clues.

50k multiply by 5= # 250k that is,if u work from home.

The remaining balance of about 200k can then be saved,so as to save u in the future.
450K or 45k?
