25k? Naija can be very unforgiving. You may have to choose a different career path. The current one is not sustainable.

I just prioritise my spending
Anytin I want but its not important can wait...

helinuesIsaMumu:


That is my take home. Tax and pension is not included.

you are doing well. More blessings.

AutoChick4U:
Local rice is 800 here

Where?

omoharry:
13k? You are certainly not staying in Lagos.

I'm still a teenager and still under my parents; eating their food.

grossintel:
Do you live on your own? Because I don’t understand how 13k can do all these for you. That’s not even up to how much I spend on airtime alone in a month.

I'm still a teenager, and I stay with my parents. The salary is jus for me to take care of myself.

fnep2smooth:
hahahaha wahala for anyone way no de make in dollars.
i quit my 9 to 5 job cos at the end all the salary go for transport (Abuja worst) , food, cloth, family and other miscellaneous at the end you get paid 50k. stock jeans self na 7k or above.


but now as a freelancer one job is 50k minimum and within 3 days job is completed, not that time you will be working for 30 days without no sleep because you want to survive. In Nigeria now, you have to work smart not work hard. Skills jobs pay more now.

when the Nigeria bad electricity wanted to make go back to working for someone i discovered solar, now i have light 247 to do my business without buy that their evil fuel price to power my home.

Even having a YouTube channel is more promising than wasting your time following celebrity on all social media.

In my state, people who dig white sand for building construction make more than 7k to 12k daily excluding Sunday, calculate it in one month.

Truly if you can survive in Nigeria, bro i swear you can survive any where in this world.

Same here. I resigned from my banking job. My life changed when I started earning in USD. Now I earned several thousands of dollars in my apartment. If you still earning in naira you are gone

Ayo2004:

Don't mind that guy o
If he was earning so much,why is he going around begging people to come and learn while paying learning fees

I have never seen a rich man begging the poor to come and learn from his source of wealth

U just say my mind.
U are so we'll to do but u dey beg people to come learn from your source of wealth

slenjaman:
Dear salary earners like me, how do you manage your salary with the current economic situation and high cost of commodities (more than 50% and above), how do you cope.

Imaging my landlord increasing rent twice 40k and 100k in less than two years and expect compliance.

Limassol:
Where?

Abuja

If you are still in your early 20s and you done have family problem please try and learn a trade I mean handwork , salary work doesn't pay , sometimes I get depressed before my salary is paid

On God ooooo!

AutoChick4U:
I always wonder why? Most civil servants dey carry gbese and immediately they get paid, they'll start paying up. Most their salary no dey reach 2nd week.

bankers aren't left out

cRobo:
Best thing right now is to earn in dollars, pounds and Euros

Naira is useless

How do someone earn in dollars, pounds and euros

Newusername:


Sardine was 250naira before per one but now 600/650 naira ma/sir.

You mean sardine with not up to 5piecce of flesh is now 6h? I pray we don't go the venezuelean way.

NohurryInLife:

Man go kom begin dey eat wetin en see and no be wetin en body really want

Nearly 50% of Nigerians are on this table. Chai!

Nnemuka:

Hair is not suppose to cost that much naa but wetin we no go see for exchange rate.....

Omo this will be the last one for the year ...
Let me save up and see if I can buy mansion in my Village...

Nne this economy is too hard. I wanted to change my wigs, but the prices I was seeing, I just respect myself. Let me embrace my natural sef. I done tell Jeffreyjunior to be my sugar daddy, e dey turn me around.

Pesin sef dey shock ontop hw pesin dey tk cope wif d present kasala wey dey d kon3.

NamelessOGBENI:
I earn close to 60k minus the side gig.
Now my monthly expenses look this way,
1. Food & Groceries 8-10k
2. Tithes (y'all know the figure)
3. Transportation 3k
4. Siblings support and pocket money 8k
5. Miscellaneous 3k

N.B: I lived the MGTOW life so its the elbow to elbow lifestyle for me, no commitment and I stayed up north.

Folks should kindly factor in their locations while dropping their punchlines here.

I live in kaduna and i'm genuinely intrested to know how 10k food could sustain an adult, do you mind elaborating on your budget?

FunnyDude:

Bro,abeg how do u do it?
How can I contact you?

AutoChick4U:
Dem for campaign against buhari as per they experienced d hardship in his first rule

They that were against them were more than they that were for them

JosephXavier:
It hasn't been easy at all

The first thing I do when I receive salary is to draw up a list of the things I don't have in the house and shop for them first especially foodstuffs because the worst thing that would happen to you is if you're hungry in this kind of economic situation

Then I subscribe for internet and my DSTV to keep me entertained in the house so as to avoid some unnecessary things that would make me leave my house and spend unnecessarily

I try not to carry a lot of cash around so as not to fall into the temptation of unnecessary expenses

Finally, as a single guy, I avoid slay mamas for unnecessary billing or if I can't, I'll just say things to get them upset and not apologising so that the drama will last long

Not to mention that I'm still acquiring skills to help me move out of this country and be useful outside because I can't allow my kids experience what I'm experiencing

Kudos bro, what type of skills are you acquiring?

I'm not a salary earner, nor" do i have good work that will be fetching me money to take care of myself and love one's.
Sometimes i do think of committing suicide, because of the hardship, Lord my hope is in you, please don't let me down �

SmellySperm:
We no be salary earners, we no see job ever since we graduated but we dey survive and chill on a daily. Na God

Not only you.... No job
It's God

tammyboy1:

My wife and I have bn managing quiet well.
Put all d salaries togeda and draw a budget.
A good wife is everything

kriss27:
Kudos bro, what type of skills are you acquiring?

Skills in IT
Programming to be precise

The5DME:
I'm still a teenager and still under my parents; eating their food.

now u are talking . As a teenager with 13k as allowance or salary ,that is not bad at all.

The5DME:
I'm still a teenager, and I stay with my parents. The salary is jus for me to take care of myself.

That means you don't have a problem, not like me that doesn't have parents, i stay with my elder brother.

Limassol:
I live in kaduna and i'm genuinely intrested to know how 10k food could sustain an adult, do you mind elaborating on your budget?

I stayed close to the farm, so most of the food I consumed is purchased during the season and it's a cheaper.

I'm only left with money for proteins and seasonings even with that I source locally for chickens, goats and fish.

And you still surprised about the magic 10k can do, I'm no heavy eater, could eat maybe once or at most twice and I'm good to go.

AutoChick4U:
Funny reply. Its well o

Spirituality is a mistake to humanity. And that’s thinking about god
