With your 80k salary, you can spend the money as follows
20k for foodstuffs
10k for your personal expenses
10k for your mum's upkeep
That is 40k. Then you save 40k monthly

HUSTLER001:
If you earn less than 100k and you reside in Lagos and single,better start preparing for life in the village because reality is beginning to set in and I need not say much about that and yes,to your question,check well those people earning less than 40k and living in Lagos are spirits.

If your place of work is in close proximity to your family house, you don't have to set aside money for house rent as well as tfare to & fro work.. You're then left with feeding, household upkeep & other expenses.. It's a good thing that you buy foodstuffs in bulk, that helps but then the inflation in the prices of goods & services on a daily basis makes it sooo hard for the common man to survive..

For you to better understand how your salary is spent, you could keep track of your expenses monthly so you know which is which and what you used your money to do.. For example:
JULY EXPENSES
i. Foodstuffs - xxxxx
ii. Utility bills - xxxxx
iii. Household items - xxxxx
iv. Medical bills - xxxxx
v. Miscellaneous - xxxxx
Total = xxxxx
Income - Exp = xxxxx

What does your sister do? Is she still schooling, school fees? Add that.. How much do you have left after doing the maths? Can it be used to generate more income? Sit and have a family discussion on how to stay afloat, how they can help out.. You're talking about people living fine lol when everybody is just trying to stay afloat now.

RenerdsMedia:

But you are already turning 4k to millions, how come are you still complaining of 80k

The problem is I earn 80k in lagos and I don't know its just not enough for me
And I'm not paying a rent I live in family house.
Can someone please tell me how to manage my resources because very soon I would want to stand alone and start my own family.
Thanks.

Imustnottalk:
alot of graduate are earning below 100k in Lagos and they are still surviving

Do you live in Lagos?

I bet, no.

All these calculations no dey work for Lagos nah.

You'll be earning 200k and spending with all sense of prudency yet you won't have 20k in savings at the end of the month.

The thing be like JuJu.

People go dey work for island dey collect 250k yet dem go still dey live for Pako Estate.

You know how many people dey live for General Paint, Kuramo , Jakande and Maroko endless shanties?

Half of the islanders live in these holes and earn way more than 100k.

Even to buy one polo na problem.

Who born you make you fit chop belleful for Lagos? Can you afford it? 1k go down for one sitting.

Imagine say you chop three times.
