The truth is whichever level you find yourself you will survive one way or the other. When I was earning N30,000 not too long ago I was surviving. I was a single parent with one daughter but we were managing somehow. I had neighbors who had wives and up to three kids earning the same salary and they were coping too. With that salary your desires are instinctively put in check. I didn't have a television, DVD player, home theater and so many furniture and I didn't bother. It didn't even cross my mind that I needed them because the money no even dey to buy them even if I wanted. I didn't have deep freezer or fridge or even gas burners. I just made do with basic cooking utensils and kept my mattress on the floor. It was when my salary began to increase that I began to buy other items. Just take life jeje and everything will fall in place. 76 Likes 2 Shares |

TheUndercover: Even for a single person/bachelor, it is still not easy. 30k will still not take you home as a bachelor. Funny enough, on top of that, most of them still have girlfriends. I wonder how they do it. 14 Likes 1 Share |

I am currently teaching in a private school just to get busy prior to NYSC. The teacher's average salary in N25,000 but I was able to compel the school's admin to increase mine to N30,000. Everyday I wonder how teachers cope. Over 60% of the teachers are over 35 years and married. With the way the male teachers put on ironed long sleeve and tie, you will think they are rich. There is one old teacher who only eats crackers biscuit as lunch because that's what he can afford, while some don't even eat lunch. Some teachers have been working in the school for over 6 years and their salary still remains the same. God punish poverty! 56 Likes 3 Shares |

@TracyP, D Lord is your Strength!! If not for d Fact dat you are a mother n have to dedicate ur time to taking care of ur kids, Wud have said u need to go for an Extra source of income.. Or even two.. Teaching Job is not for Complacent persons, really!! I know some teachers who in dier spare tym, Sell Liquid Soaps, Bottled Groundnuts, Snacks, etc.. Dats it.. Otherwise, If u depend on Salary from Teaching Job, U will be so Broke.. Tracyp007: 1 Like 1 Share |

@OP, Really love this Post!! Let young Married/Single pple brainstorm on improving dier finances.. A 30k Salary Job is way too small for a Single or Married person to cope with, unless you re living with ur Parents.. because u have Security, Light, Gotv, Sanitation bills to pay..+School fees, Children clothes, Food,etc as a married person.. For Bankers or Company workers, Since u guys close late,7pm to 9pm.. I always advise Dem to save, buy an asset(E.g Motorcycle, Wheel barrow, Caravan,etc) and start hiring and get some daily profits.. For Private School teachers, you close @least early enough and don't go to work on Saturdays n Sundays.. You can do other things like selling snacks, Groundnuts, etc.. I know of some private schools who also do painting, fixing of tiles, fixing of DStv/Gotv Dishes at dier spare tym.. Getting some extra Doe.. Sumone said Bet9ja helps..Cool idea but we all know it's so unreliable!! So for 30 or 25k salary earners, You have to work extra hard.. Some person get too comfortable and when I see Dem, I just hope dey re alright with themselves.. 15 Likes |

Wiseandtrue: Which government are talking about? Same government that has refused vehemently to sign 50k as minimum wage. Yet they buy luxury cars to gift their co thieves in power always, probably after a huge looting. This has nothing to do with being patriotic, nigerians don't deserve all these punishment they are getting from their leaders. It's pathetic and inhumane 7 Likes 1 Share |
