I don't even think this question is necessary.

Of all things that would require you spend money, TP at least from your abode to work and health care is the only thing that is fixed you can't directly influence how much you spend. Every other spending depends on you, you are the one to decide how you spend on them. So cut your coat according to your size.

The people who earn 50k and 500k both rent.
The people that earn 50k and 500k both cook something in their pots.
The people who earn 50k and 500k both wear clothe.

And so it goes.

Most definitely how much they spend on what I cited is different, do you know why?

Any amount would do you. Live like someone who earns 150k that's all.

Focusmind:
Transportation will take close to 40% of it in the absence of staff bus, followed by house rent. 90% of lagosians lives far from their places of work. It would be a herculean task to save. I was lucky during my own time. I started with this N150k salary when I joined an investment bank in 2004 just after my NYSC. I had the luxury of going and coming to work by staff bus and stayed with a relative for close to six years - so, no rent payment. I even felt that the N150k salary was much then as I practically wasn't spending anything except to buy my tokunbo Zara suites and shoes. My host was also doing well and didn't need any contribution from me. However, I did brought home, the yearly one bag of rice, Jerricans of ground oils, cartoons of tomatoes and frozen Turkey shared by my company every Christmas to staff.

To manage your salary,divide your costs into fixed and variable costs. See how you could manage the variable costs and how to negotiate better, the fixed costs. Good luck!

There was a guy, who told me he earns only 70k in a month. I was in shock and had to ask him, how he survives. Transportation alone can take up 35,000/40,000 in a month, then lunch at work 20,000. Then miscellaneous expenses.

God help us.

The salary is very small . The job your doing is there any extra by the side?. Let's do it like this everything is percentage . 1) rent per month 15% salary N22,500 per month or N270,000 per year ( room and parlour). 2) Food 15% salary N22,500 ( target to eat N500 per plate or less) . 3)entertainment /hygiene 10% of salary or N15,000 monthly ( your girlfriend falls under entertainment so target working lady to reduce cost avoid students please). So far 55% of your salary has been spent you have 45% left. I will suggest you save 30% and use 15% for gifts, transportation and religious donation.

E depend on where you dy stay and the kind life you dy live. As this economy be so, 150k na change. But as na only you dy, if you Sabi control and manage yourself, e go reach you. But I can't say for the savings aspect, except say you go adjust yourself to the specific amount you fit dy save.

And please avoid women for now, e get why.

Don't worry, tinubu is here to make Nigerians live a luxurious life. E no go take time everybody don dy pull up S-class

my brother I was earning that in Lagos before COVID I can tell u it's not worth it. I was living in a shared apartment and I spend little on rent yet I can't save money I can spend a lot on groceries and health. No time for myself the job was demanding. Couldn't save up to 200k in a year can u see how bad it is. I doubled my hustle increased it to 260k I didn't know more problem I got tired easily because I come home late. My brother just manage it but it not worth it.

Was living on the isalnd my house at badore work at VGC yet I can't save Lagos is terrible. Left after COVID.

1) eat Akara and pap in the morning=#200

2) beans and yam in the afternoon=#200

4) Transportation = use your legs
5) Womanizing= zero tolerance
6) Alcoholic= Take action bitter once in a week #200 * 4 weeks in a month= #800
7) house rent= get a room of #5000 per month

18000 + 800 + 5000=#23800.

#150000-#23800= #126200 gain
