Godliness with contentment is great gain, for we brought nothing into this world and it is certain that we'll leave with nothing. So be merry and whatever your hand findeth to do, do with joy and happiness.

More money does not equate more happiness

Once he retires.

Register and earn when you perform daily tasks. No harm in trying, as you must not pay before you earn.

The only problems I see here are their tolerance level & personality, not the jobs.

My brother it's the job
How can you explain jobs where the our labour leaders has little or no say in the entire jobs in Nigeria ? Do you know There are still some jobs of 8k in Benin and I'm sure you re one if those who will say if you know what you re doing you can manage 8k for a Month......after paying transport and feeding .
My fiancee is an american, when I told her we don't an hr pay like they do she was shock shocked

. She told me the labour laws re very powerful that no employer of labours re allowed to pay below the stipulated amount and that only illegal immigrants get the treatment of paying below the minimum wage a citizen of Nigeria get in our country . She works with a law firm and last year she almost quit her job to start a new one but her employer stopped her because she wanted higher pay and was granted . I beg how many of you can your employer stop in Nigeria and say take a higher don't go

You don't work to endure and tolerate for an employer who pays below the average minimum wage and expect you give your very best.
She works

Not everyone is cut out for business. Some people are better off in a paid employment till they retire and then live on pension and profit from investments.

Do not be deceived, business isnt for everyone neither is a salary paying job for everyone. What is more important is financial management.

Very correct...

When you can not save from it. I weep every weekend seeing people most especially "the self- employed" wasting their away from their weekly profit on alcohol at event centers every Saturday and Sunday. Alcohol makes the liver fat, why not save the money instead for any future occurrences?

Stop patronizing Olosho, smoking weeds, alcohol.

Quit wasting money away on event centers and bars.

If you keep doing it, in the next 15 years to come, you will be treating liver/ kidney diseases.

From the above question,

I don't think employees on the range of 50k/month - 100k/month is not applicable to them not to talk about employees that earn less that the amount stated because evenrything is Salary Job as stated in your inquiry.

You should have state the salary range either.

When you have mastered a trade, skill or a specialist in certain field

when I started my corporate work at 25, I told myself that I would have my own hustle by 40. The stress that investment banking work brought on me was too much. Waking up by 4:30am and coming back by 10pm. The rat race was simply too much and was taking so much on my mental and emotional well being, even though the pay package and other emoluments were good.It provided me with all the necessities of life and I was financially doing relatively ok.

I registered my own consulting company by the side and was waiting when the side hustle could pay at least 50% of my total salary. That never came to pass as the Solo Consulting space itself is even competitive. Most jobs came through referral. I never got any consulting job based on submission of application. By 2016, I couldn't take it again and resigned to face my solo consulting. This is the fifth year and, I am yet to gross the annual salary I enjoyed when I was still working.

Any regret? No. I have my peace, wake up at my own time, visit my parents and enjoy good moments with loved ones during the weekends without considering the impending coming Monday. I am on my bed typing this, reviewing a document sent to me by a client. My mental and physical health is top-notch and I have developed myself beyond my imagination. Money wise, I am still far from getting what my corporate employment paid but I am far happier now than when I was working in the bank.

I admire your courage for taking the leap towards financial independence. I have also come to understand that the major benefit of starting out on your own is FREEDOM. one might not make a lot of money but the freedom gained in my opinion surpasses every other thing.

Salary is the amount of bribe they pay u to suspend ur dreams and to help another man achieve his own dream.
When do u start? As early as he can. Start small and grow from there.
NB:
1. Keep ur business and family completely separated. Never bring business home.
2. Never hire who u can't fire.
3. Have a monthly and yearly target.
4. Make money and japa united...

What if the dream is to work for someone or somewhere?

Not everybody has a "business mindset".

However what a salaried person can do is earn salary and have Investments. Investments include running a business or being a shareholder in one.

A man should stop working for salary after must have established himself.
But then again, you can establish yourself and work for salary at the same time, to promote your business if possible
I know of someone who runs a business of his own and still receives salary at the same time.So it all depends

Wicked guy! grin

You just punctured their stupid ego. All we hear nowadays is this 'be your own boss' nonsense. Mentality of rebels. No wonder most of them quickly sink into fraud after failing to break through in their egoistic private business venture abi adventure. grin

Modified.
And let me add this. Any society where people resent being led, rendering service as part of a team and providing support for a bigger whole, believe me, such a society will never see meaningful development.
For you to even be able to lead others successfully, you must first be led successfully.

My brother, laziness is killing most of the so called Yahoo boys. They neither want to say "Yes, sir" to anyone nor use their hands to lift anything. It's a pity these lazy ones are also birthing children coz I wonder the kind of training (if not fraudulent acts) they would give to the children. I have them around & I do have some pity on the future of this country.

I bolded 'most' because some of them work,,,,, with discontentment though.

It seems you are referring to me.I am really tired of salary jobs.The tediousness in job hunting after leaving a former job due to stress,bully from bosses and senior staff,meagre salary and transportation makes it frustrating.

Yes, I haven't made the last gross emolument I earned in 2016 in my previous employment while working, but the savings from that employment enabled me to complete my own house, create an office within the house as I work from home using it as my business registered address. People even gossip within the estate that I "belong" to the G-guys with my laptop/ipad and thick beard. grin

I am not rich but I don't beg for food. Just one gig from government or man-no-man, I know say my story go change. In all situations, my freedom, mental, emotional and physical well-being are paramount.
