valdes00:
I earn 57k n I save 50k monthly .... don't ask me hw I cope, else u will b reminding me of my suffering this past few mnths

Ulcer is coming and u will use d savings and cure urself + d pains, then u start afresh

hotmolo:
you are the hero of our time... abeg how u de do am

All thanks to Bae, she forced me....

Some people can LIE!!!

i wish it was that easy, i save what i want at the beginning of the month only to draw into it towards the end of the month to meet an urgent need..no be small thing.

virginboy1:
I earn 50k and save 20k every month.
Whenever, my siblings or friends ask for my total earning , I sharply tell them its 30k.

In principle, the rule of marginality comes into play here.

The higher you earn, the higher will be ur ability to save with your spending increasing at a rate lesser than your increase in income.

However to be safe. I think anything from at least 20% and above is ok.

I make it a rule to save about 60% of my salary.

Not easy but I keep to it.

Staying away from instant gratification helps. Also removing ur monthly spending immediately into a separate account will help.

Well its ur opinion Sha.... Bae has been supportive cos she forced me to do it.....

I save all my salary... my dad give me transport and feeding allowance

Guess she urgently need that wedding ring on her.

i earn a meagre 40k but im still able to save up to 30k. i spend only N200 daily and transportation. i still live with an uncle of mine, so feeding isnt also an issue. at the end of every year, i laff to the bank with 300k .

@valdes00 from your analysis it appears you are a well paid house help .Keep it up cos u might save up enough to buy an acre of land in your village.

Guy please how do you do it?

30%. Go figure.

I am a businessman n a student awaiting NYSC. I spend any how and save anyhow. No structure of earning and no defined structure of savings. All I know is that, I eat m, pay my bills and still hav something to fall back to in the bank.

I have no savings as at now, guess I need help on that, my little income is nt fixed o, #20k @min and #25k @max.... It barely scale me through 30days..... Pls hw can I improvise... Plus I need a beta job...

don't break her heart at last oo. A woman like that is somehow scarce in Naija. She sees a future with you that's why she's that way. A woman who doesn't love you would even try to manipulate you to spend everything on her. Keep her tight bro, unless she decides to go on her own

This is one problem i find difficult to solve till date. I do not have saving. I earn 46K and before d end of d month I am broke.

Wish I can cultivate saving habit.

I save all but that doesn't mean I don't pay my tithes.

My salary is 90k, I struggle to save up to 40k b4 the end of the month..This is when i decide to reduce beer in-take..

From my #19,800 allowee, i save #10,800

From my #19,800 allowee, i save #10,800. Benefit of serving in a rural area

MadCow1:
Zero...


My cost of living is too darn high and my salary is just barely enough to maintain my lifestyle so at the end of the month, I save absolutely Zero Naira.

My savings come from my side business strictly.

Simple question, you can't answer.
How much do you save?

Is your side business not work too?

Don't be an Olodoius entity jor

Oga sir, what we want to know is how you are doing it. Please, bear with us and explain so that we might gain some wisdom from you. I believe that is the purpose of this thread...

I save everything, survive with the transport bonus...


The coy is responsible for my feeding and shelter, when I am on time off I stay with my sweet mum, so no need to touch salary....


Plans gears one to save...

Its better to save before spending.. though its alittle difficult to do dat. A good way to achieve dat is to join a thrift and make monthly contributions whc would b deducted from source. You would get used to managing wats left and at d end of d year u would be shocked at hw much u would hv saved
