Na poverty and Spartan lifestyle you dey live

Are you buying data of 50k?
Are you buying fuel of 60k?
What about miscellaneous? Is it up to 100k
Black tax nko? It should be 235k

Nothing wey person no go read

iamoyindamola:

Which one is black tax

Just go through that that list in few pages back and see if most of the things stated there are not necessary or not. It's not just about looking at the money as a whole sum. Look at the breakdown.

Jodera:

You forget feeding of 40 people for 300k.

How paltry 600k go do?

Jodera:
I still feel some are not necessary (personally my opinion). There are some luxuries some people might see as necessity.

What is one doing with DStv compact if it'll have strain on your budget for example?

That's luxury if you ask me

Theflint1:
If you're spending this much on data, get starlink, it sorta pays for itself within a year especially if you're in a space you can share the data. 38k per month split across 3 persons that work from home is relatively cheap. The upfront on ordering and installing the STARLINK is like 500k sha.

GoTV dey oh. Dem leave am go put Compact

Dem nack DsTV Compact. COMPACTT

How many homes dey watch Compact sef? Even Hotel sef no dey subscribe Compact.

GloriousGbola:


If you dont watch football and you want good TV for your pikins, compact has PBS and ceebeebies. Cartoon network, nickelodeon Disney plus - they are mindless entertainment. PBS and ceebeebies are. actual teaching packaged as entertainment.

Not sure they are on gotv

izzou:


Really paltry.

You will start to wonder if the Nigerians that have kids and drive 15 year old cars are earning 1 million per month.

I spend 160k on data for 100k for 1tb (MTN), 60k for 500gb on Airtel..

Solar inverter is the only thing preventing me from buying starlink

I believe anytime within this year, I'll be able to get my solar energy installed in my house 🏠 and I'll buy starlink..

I've already calculated 38k×12 which gives me around 456k ..

I always maintain long-term plan in anything I'm doing..

iamoyindamola:

Yes i checked them
But some of these things are not monthly but quarterly
If you buy cloths this month will you buy next month?
if you get bag of rice this monthly will it finish next month?
Same with school fees

Jodera:
E just dey amusing really?

If he's looking it at his own pov, then maybe he's correct (as per Rich family man). But on a general family man in Nigeria, 600k will be okay to scale above comfortably. I know my Uncle who has 4kids and yet they eat 3 times daily healthy meal (not 2 oo) and yet still there's still money for day to day expenditure yet he doesn't earn up to 600k

Jodera don reach this side 😂😂

BlueRayDick:


If u are a man who goes to work, u are expected to buy at least one shirt a month. Buying 12 shirts in 12 calender months is not in any way a luxury.

The school fees u pay every 3 to 4 months (a term is 3 months) so if ur child attends a school where they pay 150k per term, u definitely need to budget 50k per month.

For the bag of rice, nobody expects u to buy bags of rice monthy cos it's not just rice u will be eating; u will need to buy yam, beans, spaghetti, Noodles, Palm oil, groundnut oil, meat, fish, etc. U will also need to buy toiletries, gas and other sundry items

I see DStv compact, my eye turn me.

Na real Rich family man be that.

When Gotv dey there?

Even without Gotv sef, most average families can still do without all these subscription ish. Most kids no be films dem dey use am watch.

Download films for dem pata pata and dem go watch am taya with laptop.

Theflint1:
4 batteries 800K...hmmm. When did you get this quotation?

5KVa inverter for 500K, feels like old price. From what I'm seeing there o, it's looking like an installation that won't go the distance. You get anybody wey this guy don run installation for and it's lasted up to say 2 years?

Your average brand new solar panels is going for 110K currently, the more quality ones, up to 150K. You can do solar on this price o, but I fear it won't go the distance.

Omor, 160K on data, you na the final boss of lifestyle...get Starlink, you dey throway money. At the rate you're spending on data, the Starlink don pay for e sef within 4 months.

TemporaryHansel:
😂😂😂

Realmrsean:
the guy actually told me they re doing some kind of promo..

And true true I don work with the guy before.. he Sabi work wella.... But I don't know if this price will remain same when I'll be ready to do the installation....

As for the data.. no be say I get money, it's a long term plan for me

I no get dstv, I stream and download anything I want to watch..

I don't go out .. In a month, I can count how many times I step outside the gate.. so no money for transport tro and fro for me..

I dey stock food for my fridge, so no eating out..

So if you calculate all these savings, one thing must chop man money and wetin dey really chop my money like this na all these fancy techy stuffs.. lol..

I no dey too spend on frivolities like clubbing, I no dey carry olosho cos I dey fear std (I actually hate condoms thoor)..

I dey stay mostly indoors unless when I wan just collect fresh air I fit stroll for my compound..

I had to buy a mini gym because looking at long term, it'd be a savings to me from going to gym house and renewing gym subscription

I no dey too spend money like that.. na just mu brain I dey use for this tinubu economy

Can't wait to get that starlink.. it's one of my short term dreams (as little as it might seem)

BlueRayDick:


Yeah, I agree DSTV is luxury.

What other luxuries do u think are on the list for someone who lives in an expensive major city?

Theflint1:
The burn rate on data still seems high, there's no way you want to justify 160k on data when there's the option of getting Starlink for 440K + installation 60K. You should be placing your order like yesterday, given how much you spend on data.

iamoyindamola:

As i they i no fit watch gotv
I no just like am

Realmrsean:
starlink no dey work without light naa, and naija never achieve 24hrs light..

So first gats fix power problem before starlink

iamoyindamola:
In the list it wasn't stated that way
That's why i didn't talk about rent
All in all spending 600k is based on choice not necessity because if you don't have the 600k you will still survive and everyone will adapt
