Simple question, you can't answer.
How much do you save?

Is your side business not work too?

Don't be an Olodoius entity jor

Omonigeriarere:
At least 100k: the first thing to be done is to transfer it to a different account with no ATM after I have been alerted.

MadCow1:


I hope you saw where the OP said 'Salary'.




I will give you time to feel stupid about your post by all by yourself.

valdes00:
I earn 57k n I save 50k monthly .... don't ask me hw I cope, else u will b reminding me of my suffering this past few mnths

PiperAlpha:
I save over 80% of my salary. And I don't just let the money lie fallow just like that in my account. I buy treasury bills in order for the money to yield interest. Here's the secret:

1. If you have a penchant for luxuries, then you can never discipline yourself to achieve this.
2. There's a staff bus, so I don't have to spend money on transportation.
3. I don't eat in the company's restaurant. It's expensive. Albeit, incan afford but chose not to eat there. I go out of the company's premises to eat. I often patronize a popular buka in VI called Mojolayemi or so. Their food make sense and cheap. With 6H, you'll eat a very good food.
3. My girl friend is working, so I don't have to spend on her. The only time I spent on her was when she needed help with paying for her MSC tuition fee.
Even, if she's isn't working, I'll still support her.
4. Spend less. Why do you need an iPad, laptop, android, phone? Human wants are unlimited and are insatiable. Focus mainly on your needs. An iPad and an android phone will serve the same purpose. Let go of one. Having both is redundancy and very unnecessary. Prioritize your needs
5. Lastly, don't spend on any lady that hasn't sow a sees in your life. Don't spend to impress them bitches. Don't pay for sex. Beware of the opportunist girlfriends - those that want to reap where they did not sow.
Life's all about give and take. Them opportunist girl friend are good for $**.,Discard them when it's time to.
My girl friend respects me for my financial discipline. She dare not ask me money for unnecessary and useless stuffs like Brazilian hair, Stine cold ice cream et al. Tell me you want to venture into a business or further your education, then I'm good. This I'll never do for an ordinary gf. gf get level. We know those that encouraged us and stood with us thru thick and thin. While those ladies who see themselves as trophies to be won, real niggaz know what we do them. play along and enjoy the...

Jacinta44:


Are you saying that side business owners or even business owners don't pay themselves?

demarc001:

Bsquared:

merxi55:

debbydee:

slirkmot:
bros,abeg how u dey do am? we're here to learn and not get halp tips

Eddygourdo:
It's in tears that I post this. I promise to save something no matter how small, yet I end up saving nothing. The sight of ohmpa never helps matters, plus olosho price don increase thanks to dollar hike. I pray God delivers me

ekwuemendinso:

wow! wow! its pretty cool..... its sure a way of lesson....we all did would pass through.
but if u are truly sincere in your assertions, then u a Gem.... b'cos its damn rare

Lovelynature:
don't break her heart at last oo. A woman like that is somehow scarce in Naija. She sees a future with you that's why she's that way. A woman who doesn't love you would even try to manipulate you to spend everything on her. Keep her tight bro, unless she decides to go on her own

Omagzee:
Earn 15k save 1ok. Thanks to gala and sachet what and also to my moccasin shoe for making trekking to work a wonderful hobby.

ThePeacemaker:
My savings are with BUHARI..... N5000*3months

Omonigeriarere:



No qualm na: starting from February, you can be forwarding your salaries to my account for the outright sharing at the end of the year. I am a good 'money keeper': trust me

EMEKA1MILLION:
I save about 120k monthly which is 70%,of my earning. Once I settle my feeding, send to my siblings and transportation, the rest remains in the bank.
Avoid impulse buying, drinking and having women that have nothing reasonable to offer to u.

missKiffy:

MotorConnectz:
Well the company I work provides transportation and accommodation + health insurance so I save about 100k in naira. The remaining I hold for negotiations just groceries for feeding or one or two little things that I need

akreest:
Use the following steps:
- Open an excel spread sheet or you can use a notebook and track your expenditure for at least 3 months so that you can get a trend
- Analyse the data you have gathered to separate the 'must do' expenses (eg, Rent, transport, feeding, etc) from the 'nice-to-do' types (eg social outings, etc). Remember that how you classify the expenditure is entirely up to you. However, the classification has to be consistent.
- Your ideal saving from your Salary = Salary - 'Must do' Exp. - x% 'Optional Exp.' where X can vary between 0-100% depending on your willingness to save, determination & self discipline

Trust this helps

merxi55:
haba bros it hasn't gotten to that extent na...kikiki...how are you getting on?

Omonigeriarere:


It has not been all easy, but I have no choice than to save in an hardly way: I can't work for someone till eternity.
