Yeah, you can survive with 40K even with lesser amount provided you basics like house rent paid, transport to work paid, feeding paid, nepa bill paid. With 40k.. you can survive in ABJ or do you think people ain't earning less than 40K in Abj  Like eezeribe earlier said. "Man, know thyself".11 Likes |

able88:It all depends on how you plan to manage yourself. You can be earning as low as 40k in Abuja and be fine. Accomodation: You can get cheaper ones around Galadimawa, Mpape, Nyayan, Jahi , Wuye, Kubwa, etc. Transportation: Don't attempt to enter 'pick and drop' cabs porpularly know as 'drop'. There are ways you can enter 'along' or bus....depending on you area. Don't be too big to trek short distances. Feeding: This can axe all your 40k in less than a week if you are not careful. Don't buy food @ eatries(at least for now). Go to market and get foodstuffs, so that you will not keep spending unnecessarily. 1759: If you like flexing, reduce it. Your salary for a whole can finish in one night. You can manage can beers/drink....for now. You are man, you should know better. etc......etc.....etc.... If you can consider these things, the better for you. Some people are earning 25k/month and they are surviving....you won't even know until they tell you. I wish you goodluck in all endeavours!

able88: Yes you can: you'll need to be a bit more creative. Major costs include where you'll live and how you'll get around town. That amount may not get you any decent accommodation so you'll need to find a way to get shelter without paying much rent. You may squat with family/friends. (Hey, nothing to be ashamed of; it's just a passing phase of your life). Then again, depending on where you live, you need a sizeable budget for transportation. Again, swallow your pride and get all the free rides you can get. You'll also need to "exercise" more by trekking more. Yes, you will survive if you face things as they are. The problem usually comes when people on a N40k salary want to live like those on N5m salary. It doesn't work that way, son 20 Likes |

You can survive if you cut your coat according to your size. The thing with Abuja is that those who earn little try to live like those who earn much in a bid to catch up. There is a rat race in Abuja and only the wise know their level and take life at their own pace. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Yes you can, depends on where u decid to live, you can get single room for 25k at some of those villages along airport road. Transport to area1 is N100, food stuff is cheap in those villages. Trust me u can survive with 40k Opeyemi4real:if you pay 250, how much will someone from gwagwalada pay? Shows u don't know how to take rides in Abuja. Let me school you a little, Gwagwalada to area1, apo bridge, wuse beggar 250 Giri area1 150 Anything after kuje bridge area1 100 or 150 depending on negotiation Lugbe to area1 100 Nyanya area1 150 or 100 depending on type of bus n time of day Zuba to area1 200 to 250 depends on time of day So dont think everyone is as ignorant as you. Next time, kindly stop over paying, except you decided to give extra cash to help the ministry of the driver |

My son  there are people that collect as low as 13k,15k yet survive against all odds. yes it's not easy but nothing is permanent. even permanent secretaries are not permanent. be prudent,avoid girls (well this part can be difficult  ) ,avoid panache and posh life. if you a single the better. with time you know the ropes and demands of your job and ways to make extra cash. wia pesin dey work,dia Im dey chop. and lastly if you have gotten married to Booze then your case don pass me. because U can't save when you continually soak yourself in alcohol. and again this will be difficult especially guys.because for MOST Girl this amount is more than enough,because guys are dia to clean dia dirty laundry literally. But if you can abstain from all the aforementioned, your 40k is safe. 6 Likes 1 Share |
