Factoring in feeding, upkeep, and other miscellaneous expenses what should be the ideal monthly pocket money for an undergrad that is neither too constraining nor extravagant.
Me thinks 15k is about right, a Lil more 4 the ladies

Given the economy now 20k

Is it for a week or for a month?

monthly

monthly

Betwwen 10k to 20k depending on location, financial power of family and other things but with time the person must learn to hustle; some do it legitimately while some do it illegitimately.

30,000 naira

20K/ month irrespective of the gender.

12-15k monthly is okay.

20-30k

Depends on the financial strength of the family

If you ask me,I will say it is UNLIMITED! You don't have to keep asking anyone for pocket money when you can have money in your pocket all the time...hassle-free..

And depending on some other things it won't be. Infact unless you have food stuffs, ur school is close where u Don't pay much on transit, that can't be enough for a month. even when u eat twice a day.

its still very fresh in my brain how it was back then.

Once you're prudent, 15k monthly is enough. You should be able to save about 2k at the end of the month too. Some people manage 5k monthly. Pause, I'm in school. In my 4th year.

You are not far from the truth!


Some students receive 5k monthly from their parents but the truth is, will the money be enough if the student were to receive that said amount without any other source of income? I think my answer is NO! Reason is because as an undergraduate, I do buy one textbook at the price of 4k and that is for one out of the nine courses I do in a semester.


Even if the student resort to photocopying the textbooks, it will still not be enough unless the 5k is feeding alone

this one na question
