My fellow nairalander pls advice,what can i do with 42k salary, am single buh i have a lot of bills to pay,

It depends on ur location. If you're living in a small town, you can plan yourself and still be able to have savings. But if you're living in Lagos, Port Harcourt or Abuja, then saving will be difficult for you.

It's Lagos

Save at least 10% of it whenever you get it.

You have to do something else on the side. If you want better things in life which am sure you do, 42k won't do. First thing, buy your foods in bulk as that saves money. Consider cycling to cut transport fare or talk to people that drives near your workplace for a lift and you pay them monthly. Set out few percentage of your wages for training or more education . You have to lift up yourself as no one will and batter training or education might help. Depending on your age, girlfriend might be a no no until your finance improve or else the relationship will cost you a big chunk of your little income.

Where do you stay?
What is your favourite food?
How much is your rent?
How much do you spend on data plans?
Do you support family or dependent? (Girlfriends inclusive)

Manage it or try unemployment.

I started my professional career in 2014 on a salary of 25k. I needed to learn new skills which were not taught in school and the experience of working in a corporate environment.

Six months down the line it was increased to 50k because I proved myself. Another six months (2015), it doubled and has continued to grow since then. Today, my tithe (if I dey pay am sef) is higher than the 42k we are talking about here but I started from somewhere. I now have four years of active experience and a developed skill set.

If 42k is not enough for you, TRY UNEMPLOYMENT which pays ZERO as salary.

Throw it into d river. Wakanda stupid question is dis? If u dont knw wat to do, dash somebody in need

Cut off unnecessary expenses.
Avoid impulse buying.
Maintain a low budget for now.
Aim for better job with higher pay.
Avoid mockery friends.
Dont smoke,drink alchohol or patronize olosho.

May God grant your heart desires bro....42k in this Buhari era....It is well!

i dont even undastand dis op question

take it to a genuine man of God, give it to him and tell him you want God to increase it. I'm sure after praying for you, God would add one more zero making it 420k which I believe would be OK for you.

Nothing!!!

Living in Lagos with 42k? Is the job located where you don't need to pay transport for instance because transport alone can tidy such sum

You better hide this question from the average Nigerian Pastors!

They will just say "Mr Ayo, you asked a very wonderful question; all you'll do is PAY TITHE of N4,200, SOW SEED of N37,000 and GIVE OFFERING of N800; then sit back and watch God pay your BILLS"

ME:

Alot e.g chek my siggy

To continue transporting yourself to the work that gives you the 42k, so you won't have an excuse not to show up for work.

A very big roller coaster to an un-ending circus cycle.

Enjoy my siggy

Dash me

question; what Can One Do With N42k Salary?
answer; exactly what a 42k salary can do

Its not easy surviving in Lagos bro.... you have to really cut down your expenses ..don't eat out...buy your foodstuffs and cook... go for cheap data plans... Transport is a pain in the neck but what else can a man do... you've got to look out for the slightest opportunity to create a side hustle for you whether on or offline!!!

You'll survive....God be with you!!!

1. Accept the job

2. Be nice to people

3. Create connection

4. Find another job

5. .... resign

I don't know why some people must comment

Just survive..

In so doing, looking for or learn a trade.

The best is online... I was earning that much when I started dropshipping.

See my signature.

i jokingly tell people that they can become wealthy even with a 5k job. No matter how low paying a job can be, as long as you can spare 2k monthly to buy books on financial literacy, investments and personal development, and carefuly study them, then youre on your way to great success....

try this for six months, then youll see that even 42k is even too much to start something that'll turn big.

You're very lucky since your still single

Now here's how you going to spend your 42k salary

1. give your girlfriend 8k for her hair, give her 10k for food

2. if you have to give your parents money give them 4k
(if you don't have to give them add it to no4 below)

3. buy the latest wears jeans 8k and Bob Marley t shirt 5k

4. invest in bet9ja 2odds with 10k

5. save the remaining 3k

I wish you the best in life

depend on ur location ...i have a graduate friend in ekiti wt 35k salary....he called me last year that he just finish roofing his house ...while i collect *3 of his own in lagos ... my brother my land never get foundation....
