How much do you use on food a day? And can you give a breakdown of daily cost of feeding so we can better compare to what the Op currently spends? undecided

Omo, e no easy ooo 'Deep sigh" Mr

I earn 25k monthly,i use almost of it to buy food, and to fill my gas

Before 20th of the month, all the foodstuffs would be consumed, i will have to go on to borrow money to eat before the end of the month

Now the issue here is that My parent do ask me every time if I'm suffering from spirituality complications why i don't save for almost 3 years now I've been working, i tried to explain to them that the money is use to buy food

Note i live in the company's apartment, hence why I'm not living with them, and I'm 26years and have younger ones living with them

Now the help i need from you guys is how can you enlighten me how i can live on the money and still saving out of it, cos im not getting younger anymore

And in Nigeria where there is no job security,they can fire me from work anytime, how will i leave work without no saving and will still go home eating mama's food

This is the reasons why i don't have gf,friends or visit them at home thinking it will save me more money to save


This is not a life i wanted, help me guys


I'm not getting younger,now I'm planning to start some online business, buy a pos and do some stuff to earn me money monthly, so anytime i live this work i can rely oncry


Before u guys insult me or call me a glutton, please note this, in osun state where I'm living, foodstuffs is super expensive every day, spaghetti i always live on rises from 220 to 350naira presently

This is not a typical me, before Buhari' s administration, talking about 2015,i do save alot of money even those time i earn meager 10k monthly, even that time i have gf, friends

Again, whatever perspective you claim it opened up is all in your imagination and so I can't help you in any any with that. undecided
Reality cannot be imaginary. A piece of burger with fries and a medium cup of soda is $8 plus tax. Not affordable for a minimum wage earner ( $7.5/hr) in the US compared with Op in Nigeria who can even afford 3 square meal.

but you didn't state the cut for olosho,why did you hide that aspect? You see most of these present day young men ehn,even if they receive 10naira monthly they will still cut olosho own aside like 3naira from the 10naira and tell their parents they are receiving 7naira as salary.

How did you arrive at the conclusion that he sleeps around?? Or is this another assumption on your part??
Re: How My Monthly Salary Is Used On Foodstuff Only by Fantazy(m): 9:46pm On Oct 15, 2021
Sorry to say, I might never be able to save from that amount u are getting.
The best thing to do is to get other things doing that can bring in more money.

I'm also in the same situation as you though, but planning to move to something better.

The solution to your problem is to stop borrowing..even if it means going hungry, eating once a day or fasting every first week of the month..

Try as much to save 5k every month..


Buy rice instead..

It is what is on you that controls your possibilities. Start tithing consistently from that money.
What you are saying is that "God, this money is not enough," I need your help.
You will wonder at the power of the Divine.

25k mehn that is less than 50usd,seriously that can't even sustain an adult for a month,inclusion of other expenses.The best option for you is to start a side hustle that can fetch you something before month end.

Seriously things re getting worst everyday,prices of food now isn't what one can even Write about.

I make over 500k every month but I don't spend up 20k on feeding in two months and I feed very well.

I buy half cartoon of Spag, a cartoon of indomie, 2 paint of rice, 1 paint of beans, 5kg of Semolina and 2 Pando, 2.5 Liter of red oil and 1.5 Lt of Kings of Oil.

They last me for more than 2 months. Since I restock every 2 months, I give the remaining out.

However, beverages, bread, cooking soup and stew costs me a lot of money.

But 15k should be enough for you. Save 5k and flex 5k.

I live alone. No wife, no girl friend.

Re: How My Monthly Salary Is Used On Foodstuff Only by Poleski: 12:27am On Oct 16, 2021
25k isn't much nowadays. It's not even enough for you to live on, not to talk of saving anything.

I spend more than that only on fuel and gas monthly. So my advice to you is either look for a side job to add more cash to your present salary or look for a new higher paying job

1. Make the effort to travel further for less expensive food.
2. Buy in bulk.
3. You can grow food in bags and pots: https://www.nairaland.com/6060136/growing-raising-small-home
4. Buy more fresh produce than packaged.
5. Buy online.
