Hey guys, i know i was supposed to post a new balance this week, but holidays no be small thing o. You have to get gifts for family, friends and so on. So i have to take a break from saving for the next 2 weeks. However, my wife decided to give me 2 of her paychecks to make it up in January, so we are still on track. I decided not to travel to the US again, but instead to spend my holidays in Canada. Return ticket to New york is like $700 and we are 2. Other interesting cities in US was just about the same price. It will cost over $2500 just to spend the holiday in US. Myself and wifey decided to plan a holiday for early next year. Infact i got a return ticket to Singapore for $700, same price for tickets to Seoul. Its crazy how fares are so expensive this period, well its expected. I will be doing a road trip to Calgary this holiday and i will document with some pictures and put them on here. By the way, Happy holidays to everyone. 57 Likes |

Instead of you to produce concrete facts to be used in disputing the numbers and facts that I portrayed back on page 11 about how it is possible to save a lot even on minimum wage you are showing your ignorance again.

Mizwisdom: I don’t think he made a mistake here. He did not say that his wife already gave him her pay-check. Rather he said she will give him in January for him to make it up. He also said that his wife will start part-time work in January which is where I guess the pay-check will come from in January. However, I think he needs to stop going into too much details because no matter what details he produces many people here like @opebiboy have made up their myopic mind that what he is doing is impossible. So, there is no need going into too much details. However, if he chooses to go into detail he needs to explain himself better.

opebiboy: Again, stop going about saying what you know nothing about simply because you have failed at attaining such feat. Rather than arguing with emotion I am asking you again to come up with facts to dispute that it is possible to save $56,000 in three years in Canada even on minimum wage. Here is the link to my analysis again: https://www.nairaland.com/4857306/monthly-savings-canada/10#73854976 Until you come up with real facts like in my analysis, I will see you as a failure who thinks nobody can succeed because they have failed. Finally, you calling the thread or the hardworking Op a scammer without any proof is very disrespectful. If anything, going by your refusal to provide the VIN for a vehicle that you wanted to sell here on Nairaland, I see you as the real scammer that should actually be banned from Nairaland altogether. You @opebiboy was caught trying to sell a damaged/accidented as clean vehicle. Hence you refused to provide the vehicle VIN in the advert as required of you. So, who is the scammer and dishonest person now? Picture of the vehicle before it was repaired and how one of the commenters found out that the vehicle @opebiboy was trying to sell as clean / accident free vehicle is available on the thread with link below. Here is the link to your post about the vehicle and a couple of quotes from the post. https://www.nairaland.com/4808004/toks-2008-es-350-very Some quotes from the thread: Cosplay: opebiboy: Cosplay: opebiboy: Cosplay: ejembi28: Cosplay: opebiboy: HeavenlyBang: Cosplay: opebiboy: Cosplay: 32 Likes 2 Shares |

naijaman3:Provide VIN to micreants and unserious buyers? I gave them a simple offer- get someone in Lagos to come check on the car, the VIN is written on it, they all fled. You are the OP with a proxy account trying to save this fraudulent thread. 2 Likes 1 Share |
Re: My Monthly Savings In Canada by naijaman3: 1:19am On Dec 22, 2018 |
opebiboy: See yourself again giving lame excuses. 1. How can I be the Op with proxy account when I have been on Nairaland since September 14, 2006 (that was 12 years ago)? Check out my previous posts on Nairaland since 2006. https://www.nairaland.com/naijaman3/posts 2. When you could have simply provide the VIN online, you want people to waste their precious time to come see the car before they get the VIN after which they would discover that the car is damaged. What stops you from posting the VIN if you have nothing to hide? VIN is not a secret thing to get as it can be easily gotten from the dash of any vehicle. So, why are you hiding yours if not to be dishonest and scam people. 3. All my claims have been backed up with verifiable facts but you keep making claims without providing evidence to back them up. Why are you this daft? You honestly need to be banned from Nairaland altogether because you are a confirmed scammer and a dishonest person. I hope the moderator of this thread will do the needful. 24 Likes 1 Share |

adajiboyy:Lol bro you sound so desperate to leave, and that might just turn out against you. Calm yourself down and plan towards this journey you're about to make. First of all, are you an educated skilled worker? If yes, then you can apply via the Express Entry program while still working here in Nigeria and saving more money for your potential relocation. Are you a married man with kids? If yes, that could mean more expenses when relocating like Childcare, tickets etcetera What ways do you plan on starting off when you eventually get to Canada? How do you intend on getting the Canadian Experience? i.e a degree from Canada schools to boost your income earnings in subsequent years. You definitely won't be doing menial jobs forever, would you? So my brother, everything is about proper planning biko. Plan well and you will definitely succeed. 7 Likes |

opebiboy: Don't kid yourself, the VIN for that vehicle was available even before I made the first inquiry on that sorry excuse of an advert. If you truly believe your permission would be needed for the VIN to be obtained, spend a few minutes going through my profile and that notion will evaporate. The photos I posted on that thread represent the true condition of that vehicle before the shoddy repair work. Don't for a second assume that you've been given a pass because we've all let you make a fool of yourself on that thread. You're obviously not familiar with the auto section, but you will never sell that vehicle with that advert as-is. So you can continue to update the thread, but that vehicle will remain unsold if you're relying on that miserable advert to get it sold. That was the entire purpose of that debate, to make it obvious that you're as dishonest and crooked as they come. It's people like you that give middlemen a bad reputation. Further, if you could be dishonest about an affair as simple as a vehicle VIN, you're most certainly a nefarious character and anyone who has any dealings with you on any other subjects should definitely consider it to be a dining-with-the-devil situation, and I'd certainly hope they all have long spoons. 35 Likes 1 Share |

Nice job, God will punished all naija politicians and people in authority.

I lovw the job i do as a correction officer in the detention centre. I make average of $2650 after tax every two weeks but do not want to kill myself any longer because they see me as workaholic.

overseasnbeyond: Mann, that's a lot of hours. Do you work weekends too? What type of job is this? This is one problem with Yankee life: you need to work really hard to make ends meet. Initially when you move from a country like Nigeria having experienced severe poverty, it seems cool that you have the opportunity to work multiple hours without rest. You seem to enjoy it and try to save as much as you can. However, after spending some years here, you begin to feel it's too much labor, and your interests begin to dissipate. You cannot stop otherwise you rake in too much bills and debts. Welcome to the American life! 11 Likes |
Re: My Monthly Savings In Canada by naijaman3: 4:56am On Dec 22, 2018 |
yemiosinbajo: The statement in bold is not always true. If you plan your life properly you do not need to work more than 40hrs in a week to live decent and debt free life. With the correct residency status, people may have to work a lot of hours in a minimum wage job when they just arrive. With proper planning, they can eventually get a job in their profession and work only 40hrs a week. If you read the Op (@atutupoyoyo2211) post from start, you will see that this is what he is planning to do. He does not plan to stay in this kind of job for the rest if his life. Sadly, this type of opportunity is not available in Nigeria. I have been trying to avoid talking about my own experience regarding @atutupoyoyo2211 approach because I am trying to protect my identity and also because if some people find it difficult to believe @atutupoyoyo2211 whose situation is very straight forward, how would they believe me. Without revealing too much about myself, I will at this point say a little to show what is possible with proper planning and prudent spending: 1. I came to Canada in 2001 with permanent residency visa (landed immigrant visa is what we called it then) 2. I worked in minimum wage job for one year at the same time trying to get my professional certification and register in my profession. 3. For the one year I was doing the minimum wage job, I was living and saving as I explained on page 11 here: https://www.nairaland.com/4857306/monthly-savings-canada/10#73854976 4. By early 2003, I got a job in my profession and started working only 40 hour a week because my salary back in 2003 was already 4 times what I was making while working minimum wage. 5. Two years later, in 2005 I bought my house with 20% down-payment. The down-payment was from all my savings from working minimum wage and 2 years of working in my profession. 6. I continued to live modestly and investing in the stock market (not just savings). This way I was able to fully pay my mortgage in 2015 which is 10 years after buying my house compared to others who spend recklessly and take between 25 to 30 years to pay off their mortgage. 7. Without being boastful, I can tell you that today (2018) I am a Millionaire in Dollars (in cash, stocks and other investments), my wife and I drive luxury SUV’s, we go on vacation with our kids twice a year (one trip within North America during the spring break in March/April and the second trip to anyone of either Europe or Asia or Nigeria when the kids are on summer vacation in July and August). 8. I have a lovely and supportive wife and amazing 3 kids that are making me proud and thankful to God daily. 9. All of the above do not include my wife’s savings and investment as she also works in her own profession. 10. I do not have any type of debt (no mortgage debt, no car debt, no credit card debt). I pay my credit card in full every month. If the above is not fulfilling and living my Canadian dream, what else is it. @atutupoyoyo2211: I hope you can learn one or two things from my write up above. Please continue doing your thing and do not be discouraged. I can see success in you. Please do not disappoint me. Important: Please note that the above is applicable only if your status in Canada is legal (i.e. you have permanent residency or you are a citizen). Please do not plan to come to Canada with just a visitor visa and think you can easily make it like we are trying to explain here. As far as I am concerned planning to come here and make it on visitor visa is a suicide mission. You may end up making it but the chance is very slim and I do not encourage such move. 102 Likes 27 Shares |
