payless:

Just like me. Imagine I got a job in Washington D.C recently with higher pay. When I compared my proposed income to what I currently earn, Oh pls! I decided to stay in North Carolina.

davidylan:

that is not luxury. That is suffering. If i pay $70,000/month on a house then it better come with a helipad. Only an idiot would spend that much money for a house no bigger than a match box.

coogar:
this is why people complain londoners are stingy.....
nah, they are not stingy - it's just that they pay too much for littlest of things!

adaobi123:
What ?? Here it's 3 years.....but some end up working in tesco's

davidylan:

Gbam. Even me i am eyeing opportunities in texas where my pay would go farther. I can buy a house there for 1/3 the price it would cost me right now in the NE. The place you live does not go on your CV.

shymexx:

That's what most people don't understand about Londoners - we basically pay for everything, including oxygen...

We pay two water bills, for crying out loud!!

jennykadry: OMG @ 800 pounds for electricity, is it per month, even here we pay for 3 months and its not up to that amount.

Relocate to Australia y'all. One doctor recently relocated here from the UK with his children and wife and they are all British citizens. The man has sworn never to relocate back to the UK because the hospital he works for here, gave him a house, a car, pay his bills and his children's school fees. I don't blame him for not wanting to move back.

Another Nigerian , who is into IT had to bring his bill to my husband for clarification cos he felt synergy made a mistake, he was expecting more.

I agree with coogar though, you's pay so much rent and have no space to even park your own car.

I feel for you's

@adaobi
I suggest you continue living with your parents

It is everywhere o. Just saw in the news today...some graduates are suing their law schools here
in California because they couldn't find jobs after graduating for many years contrary to the claims by
the schools that their law graduates take less than 6 months to find jobs.

The world has really changed....E no easy o. Atleast for naija, if level no dey, one can waka
for village stay small and repackage. But here...one thing always leads to another and it rarely
ends well.

what about TV license?
the moment you buy your brand new TV, the store sends your details to the government and someone creepy is at your doorstep the next day asking you to pay TV license. the country is designed to collect wages and return back to the Queen.

jennykadry:

Fck me, TV Licence? This is a joke, are you kidding me right now?

adaobi123:
My dad almost cried when he saw the bill
Always complaining about the increase water and gas bill. I don't blame him sha. It's hard work.

jennykadry: What's the rent like in the UK for a 3 bedroom house?

adaobi123:
Shhrraappp. Come and pay the bills and we shall who is crying the most.

coogar:

i swear!
you would pay TV license - you must pay it!
people get criminal records for not paying it. after paying for your TV and subscribing to a cable company, the QUEEN still takes her TV license from you.

NLG_woodey: As a matter of fact, there are some naija boys that sleep in their cars here. Any money that comes
their way is sent back home to build something for better tomorrow. I just hope "uncle''auntie' or whoever the
relation is that these folks are sending the money to are using the money well or
else these people will be screwed. One told me that he has been homeless for 7 years.
He lives in his minivan and showers in a gym somewhere. See rough life o.Some people get liver sha!

ItsModella: seriously, what the hell is TV license? you need a license to own/watch TV? wtf?

gbollykore: The purpose of money is to afford the good things of life, we work to get money to provide for our needs, money is not meant to be stored
There is nobody who does not pay bills, either you buy recharge cards from mike adenuga or you pay vigilantes to watch your house and buy diesel or petrol to run your generator and pumping machine

if people want more money so that they can afford more in life or have excess , so as to pay their bills and have reserve, they should look for more human problems to solve or increase their skills and they will get more income( this applies anywhere on planet earth)

paying bills is wonderful , especially when you enjoy the services!

jennykadry:
Won't you relocate ni? Even my denzel2009 is looking at relocating
How much is the Tv licence

ItsModella: seriously, what the hell is TV license? you need a license to own/watch TV? wtf?
