You don’t use a dangote to describe earnings, google average income in USA. The percentage of family income ( husband and wife) that earn over 120k per year in USA would surprise you, but alas, those that never travel believe they know it more. I live in USA though.

After purchasing new gearbox and oil, new axle and oil, steering and radiator, purchasing clothes, foods and drinks for the season, na change remain. If I depended on salary all these wouldn't have been possible to be acquired in one month without going bankrupt.

Salary is to have a stable source that you can be sure of that amount.
If you are not a senior staff, half would go to transportation to work. You survive on tips and other sources.

I heard most US citizens don't have $1k in savings, but they are still better than us with their social security and welfare program. In Nigerian a man with 3 wives would be earning $45 per month when minimum wage in USA is earning that in a day. Google Nigerian minimum wage and convert it to dollars (that is tip money in US restaurant, but here we are expected to feed, cloth and shelter our family with less than $45/month).

Save a portion of your salary and after a few years, invest it in shares of a business or company. Basically use the savings not to buy car are to go on vacation, instead use it to become a shareholder of a promising company.

Side hustles you can start in 2023

A side hustle is something you can do alongside your job or your business. You don't need a soothe sayer to tell you to start working on a side hustle in the coming year especially if you are in Africa

So I have put together some side hustles that you can start even with zero capital (not having money is not an excuse as long as you have a smartphone)

1. Dropshipping : dropshipping simply means that you advertise goods you don't have in stock but you have the contact of someone who has the stock. You add your own profit when advertising it and when people place order. You pay the original owner of the goods and deliver to your customers. Guess what, the customer doesn't even have to know that you are a dropshippers. Just make arrangements with the owner and advertise ruggedly. You can dropship any goods of your choice like clothes, jewelry, bags, electronics, foodstuffs, hairs and so on. Just find something you love!

2. Dropservicing: unlike dropshipping that involves physical products, dropservicing has to do with services. Look for services that people are good in like Graphics designing, video editing, web design, content writing, ghost writing etc and market it like you are the person doing it, add your own profit and when clients pay you, you outsource the service, pay the person who does it and deliver to your client like you did it �

3. Affiliate marketing : this is when you market a digital product for someone else and earn commissions. Someone has already created a digital product which can be courses, webinar, membership, e books and so on. All you do is to register to be an affiliate marketer and help them sell their digital products and you can earn commissions directly paid into your account.

4. Copywriting : listen as long as selling online is concerned, you sell by how well you write, some people don't know how to write, you can earn money helping people to write their social media post, sales post, advert post and so on and get paid

5. Video editing : for the 2022 market, videos will be taking the lead especially tiktok, learn how to edit video that will captivate people. Business owners can shoot videos and send to you and you help them edit it and get paid

6. Start Publishing books on Amazon Kdp : you get paid in form of royalties (dollars) uploading books like low-content books eg Children story books, colouring book etc� oh yes, Nigerians have access to this .

7. Become a Coach: do you have something or a skill you know so well that you can teach others? Then package your knowledge into an online course and start selling ☺️. The knowledge industry is currently exploding, just find your own niche and dominate it

8. Start a YouTube channel : you can also sell what you know or share your day to day activities on YouTube. Find an area you have passion for and start creating interesting video content to share on YouTube. It can be food, lifestyle, celebrity gossip, music, entertainment, talk shows, fashion. Just anything you love doing

9. Start an Upwork : you can become a freelancer and apply for remote jobs abroad and get paid in dollars.

10. Start a mini importation business : learn how you can start importing from China, US, India, UK and so on. Pay them at a cheaper amount and resell with profit.

I am willing to train members here on how to get started with number 3 and 6

I hope this list helps as you look forward to 2023.. I wish you a profitable 2023 �

Thanks for the enlightenment but no software engineer makes that kind of money in Yankee not to talk of Nigeria. $33k monthly is for major cooperation CEO and not just cloud engineer. $33k monthly put you in top 1% income earner in US and that will put you in 0.00001 income earner in Nigeria.

Ok, let me break it down for you. And FYI, this is what I know 100%, so I am not speculating anything here, just facts! On average, a SWE with 4-5 years experience makes at least $150k+ annually here. Now, multiple that by 3+ remote jobs and tell me what you get in a year. That's in upwards of $450k annually, which is more than $33k monthly.

Absolutely, with one job, thats hard to achieve. But with multiple remote jobs, that's very easy to achieve.

I believe you're talking about SWE in US. Thanks for breaking it down but most of your analysis does not add up. A person work 3 full time jobs at the same time is likely not possible cos a job that pays you $150 yearly ain't not joke except such a person is a superman. Second, I have lived 10 years in US to know that American tax system discourage people who make good money from working multiple job cos the second jobs going to be like you're working for IRS cos the tax will almost finish your paycheck but I can be wrong though.

This is a very misleading way of comparing cost of living and living standards..

A simple meal of poundo and egusi that you will eat for free anywhere in your village, will cost you nothing less than 30 US dollars in a New York City Nigerian restaurant.

Approximately 15,000 naira.

Ordinary electricity bill there is like 150,000 naira (a month).

So please, stop all this, ''we live on 45 dollars a month'' nonsense.

It's very very misleading, because that 45 dollars can take you much further in Nigeria than it can take you in the US.

Especially when you are spending on items that are made or produced in Nigeria.

You can use that 45 dollars to pay school fees for 3 kids and still carry on with other obligations.

Do you know how much school fees are in America for one person?

You people should please stop this nonsense currency comparison stuff.

For the tax part, you are right. The more money you make, the more tax you pay (common sense stuff). And as for working multiple remote jobs, just Google "Overemployed" and your eyes will be cleared. Like I said earlier, I am not telling you a hearsay story. I am telling you something that I am 100% sure of. Guys are making banks bro, this is the new American dream! grin grin
