God will do it soon...keep moving but move in the right direction.

KimberlyWest:
Seriously. I'm just seeing 500k, 800k as someone's salary. Bachelor for that matter.

If it was self employment, I go understand. Well, they know better.

Rextizzy:
I don't work for anyone, this year i learnt some skills and earn more than $2k/$4k monthly on my online business, so getting a good fully furnished apartment isn't a biggie to me.

Go and hustle instead of being a slave for a moderfvcker.

Jokerman:
Just paid for my apartment yesterday 300k per annum in Alapere, I and my fiancée would service the cost together .. That's 25k/month.

Biingoo:
Sound impossible right?

KimberlyWest:
Seriously finding it hard to believe. Unless they all work in oil companies or companies like KPMG and the likes.

like I said, they know better.

Ramanto:
I'm thinking of taking the bold step of moving out of my host's place and secure my own place, but the challenge is that, I'm not earning much at the moment (around 50k) .

I will like to hear from fellow Nairalanders, share your experience please. What are the challenges and benefits that come with living alone?
PS: I'm not comfortable here.

Welcomme:

#130000 a month salary, #48000 a year One room boys quarter apartment . I had to make sure I made 1200000 that year from my salary alone and I was glad I achieved it. Still living that selectively extravagant lifestyle till date. Making millions yearly and living moderately.

Nnamebuka:
400K/yr for a serviced apartment?
Where's that pls

Here in Abuja, any serviced apartment less than 2M/yr must be suffering from either epileptic power supply or poor security or unkept enviroment or all mentioned. I stayed in one I paid 1.6M two years ago but was meant to pay unnecessary dues all through the year(if it's not security, it's transformer or AEPB dues else dustbins will spill and smell).

Meanwhile a friend/colleague staying in 2M apartment was enjoying even free DSTV subscription every quarter as additional peck of his rentage. No be person told me to change the next year as I calculated all the monthly dues I paid and it amounted to 2.3M when added to my actual rent.

Na to build my own sure pass now. Can't buy all these poorly built apartments selling all around here relatively cheap though

40,000. I got a small apartment for N250,000 from my savings before i got married and moved out.

I could afford the apartment because i did side jobs. And these side jobs finally turned to my main hustle

Biingoo:
I'm from Anambra too remember?

philip0906:
Is it a mini flat?

AwkaetitiBabe:
Are u interested in visiting my abode ni? It's restricted from predators

Lawmak:
Don't allow your house rent to be more than your monthly salary

Biingoo:
Sound impossible right?

Biingoo:
Before nko

Mood11:
Well, presently my place costs about 200 Yearly.

My salary is same as yours. Though I have a side business which fetches me double of what I earn from time to time.. But I planned ahead and saved up before securing the apartment.

There's no set time for getting your own apartment. If you know you are not extravagant, you can spend on things of priority and cultivate a habit of saving. Also, look for a side hustle.

AwkaetitiBabe:
Abeg gist boys things to do to make money, with less stress of course.

Biingoo:
my immidiate superior where I work earns 1.8m per month

AwkaetitiBabe:
And I'm sure he doesn't break any sweat to earn that money. He probably be sipping tea in his office while instructing subordinates what to do.
