If you stay in Lagos and you leave on your own... N100k will never be enough for you. To be fine, you must earn from N200k

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. grin



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. cheesy


So if all these are true then why do Lagosians like praising that place to the high heavens? Nansense!

It cant work bro, as a young guy you cant just be doing work and home. weekends, you need to go out, yo need to send small money to your girl, you need to dash few people something, even if is 2k, you cant just say you wont give or assist somebody before month end. you will pay bills, you will need to get one or two jeans, shirts, good perfume, eat roasted chicken once a while, drink beer once a while, take your guy out once a while, do data for your girl, do data for your self,. guy is not easy and it wont be enough.

you cant just say you wont take part in all of these things i mentioned. i try to live a happy life and be good. you will pay transport to go out, you might need to fix one or two things in your house because they must have problem. door keys, toilet, sink, etc. toiletries, and other things i cant remember now. you cant be working and be living like a prisoner. these things i mentioned are not much but they are the things you must do. so 80,000 is just manage

That's Lagos for you o....even those that earn 300k are not still able to make ends meet properly. By the time to take rent, transportation, food and other bills, you can barely save 50k. It is well. People that are earning 500k and above are the ones smiling o.

For single ladies, I would advise to remain in their parents house if possible. It saves money for food & rent.

Lmao, why don't you just remain in your parent's house or an aunties house. That would save you a lot, you won't have so much freedom but your bank account will always be green.

You are a bad spender...two things that gulp money in Lagos are transportation fare and rent...if you are not paying rent then half of your problems is solved. With 80k salary as a single guy, who is not paying rent in Lagos, you supposed save atleast 40k every month.

Womanising is one thing that is draining most guys pockets. No self control. With the rate of ladies doing runs these days and men that can't control their anacondas, it's quite hard for most to save.

If they tell you how much men spend carrying girls up and down, your mouth will be wide opened. Imagine carrying one girl today, and tomorrow carrying another one. Next day same thing. It becomes an addiction. Most won't admit this. But that's the true reality of most men/guys.

They spend everything on carrying girls. In this era, every man needs to discipline himself if not, they will work for years and nothing to show for it.

My advice to young guys aspiring to have a meaningful saving is they should be wary of the type of girls they date. Dating a materialistic lady will drain a guy. Dating a girl that has no money management skill can wreck a guy.

And those running after runs girls should do it with common sense. All the like of hook up and the rest. While I won't condemn it, but as a guy, it should be done with moderation. Meeting up once a while. It shouldn't be regularly. Some guys hookup 4 times a week. And they spend nothing less than 10-15k in every meeting. That's bad for a guy finance.

Guys should wise up.

it depends on where u re staying and making that money from..

if u re staying at the Suburbans like igando, agbara, Eleko etc and ur workplace is in VI or Lekki then u re in trouble, because transportation will finish the whole money.


but if u re like one of my guys that stays at Egun close to Igando, and does teaching school plus home lessons in total he makes btw 50-60k monthly, then u must b a big medium scale boy... cos this dude was able to rent a room self so cheap in that axis and also food is very cheap plus his above my neighbor Generator.. he is doing ok.

The same way men spend for alcohol and drugs.. that is why it is difficult for them to save, you are right. Ride on.

Exactly. Their are many things men should cut down on to be able to save.

If they can identify those things and moderate them or stop them, they will be able to save.

Once I know something is becoming a habit that always suck money from my pocket, I stop it instantly before it becomes an addiction.

Here's a possible advise for you.
Ensure you safe 30k monthly for as much as 10 months to make 300k with that start a small business that can give you at least 3k daily and have your sister manage it while you supervise at your free times.
That way your monthy revenue is increased.


Which business can I start with 300k that can give me 3k daily. I'm down 500k from one million still no
