MMMC is very safe now. With a compulsory 10% recommitment fee, a new policy where you can't re-PH less than you GH, the issue of "chop and run" has been completely eliminated. This apparently will ensure the system doesn't collapse in light years to come. Don't mind what people say, I'm a living testimony.

@ Hullabaloon

Stay with them and save at least 2 million before moving out. This will protect you against any uncertainty in life n ensure u DNT return to stay with them ever again. U need to have two sources of income before you leave

Honestly the only time u must leave ur parents house is when u want to marry? For me u should stay till then

Guys I need advice on what to do at this point in my life.

Got a job, in my state, place of work not far from parent's house (rented flat).

I've managed to save up to 400k so far, I've always longed to move away from my parent's house and get my own place, but they'd always kick against it, citing that there's no need for that since work is close to home. Left for them, they'd like me to stay till I plan for marriage whenever that will be; Lol, parents sha.

I'm already 28 years old, so I think it's time.

My colleagues already yab me anytime they get the opportunity, they love reminding me that I still dey chop mama thank you.

Problem is, the job security at my place of work is not that encouraging. I have older colleagues who have been in the company for 8 to 15 years, I've also, within my short period (less than a year now) seen about 5 workers sacked, it's a place where any thing can happen at any time.

So, should I invest this 400k in renting and furnishing an apartment with the constant uncertainty hovering over the job,and no side income yet, or should I continue staying with my parents while I invest the money in a side business which I don't know how it'll fare...

Now, frankly speaking, I'm not cut out for business, it's not my forte at all, so starting any at all comes with great risk but I still feel the need for another source of income.

On the flip side, Staying with my parents is not even as economical as most would think. Ever since I got the job, parents no dey gree say them get money again. All the bills are on me.

I'm just confused.

Salary fluctuates between 60 to 80k

The secret is quite simple: I don't drink, I don't smoke, ain't got no girlfriend. Don't need one now.

So, the only expenses I make are feeding, T fare, and helping parents with cash when food stuff and other utilities run low at home.

I would have even saved more if not that I provided half of the rent where we currently stay, bought a new laptop and a new phone when I lost the previous one I had, and of course, upgraded my wardrobe

You're lucky to have them (parent),save for two more years and invest big,in fact buy lunch box,and carry better mumsy delicacy to work, dem go talk,dem go taya

Jayslicky:
Ok that's good, at least you earn over 700k in a year, the normal rule is that your rent should not be more than one-fourth of your salary in a year, it depends on how you spend money on things, it is better than if you calculate your expenses monthly, you calculate how much you spend on food stuff, calculate what you spend on clothes, calculate how much you give out to people sometimes, calculate the cost of maintaining the apartment you plan on getting(nepa bills, security bills etc) subtract it from your salary, if the remaining money is not up to 5k monthly, then don't even think of trying to move out of your parents house because that is not progress but waste of time. I suggest you still stay in your parents house till at least a year more, you just started working and you need to be balanced before getting your own apartment, I know you want your space as a man but just have patience.

Hullabaloon:
As for expenses, I'm frugal with expenses. I don't drink, don't smoke, ain't a womanizer.

Thanks for your input.

Leave!!!
I was 24 when I left my parents place. I'm 25 now. I send my mum 30k monthly as allowance. I'm a freelancer and a Kindle author.
Our old politicians including Bubu were very young when they achieved great milestones in life. The idea of a 28-year old man staying in his parents house because he wants to save is laughable. Don't be afraid of achieving great things at a young age.
Remain blessed.

Guy man run leave that house oooo.

see the benefits for leaving. 1. u have enough time to think of ur future. 2. u don't feel relax when hustling as u know u are all by urself. 3. if u send ur perent like 15k every month they value it more than the much u spend now.

i left my perent when I was 26 with no job to another state. but now am 28 and am married, have my house and a car.

use u head bro....u must leave ur comfort zone.
