Eizenburg:


It takes a really focused, disciplined and prudent fellow to achieve significant savings from a hustle where you get paid on a daily basis, especially if it’s your only source of income and you have responsibilities. I’m not saying it’s not possible. It is, you just have to practise delayed gratification.

Felicity0001:

You're right shal... But think about this.

Boys grow up to become men and then husbands and fathers. How many responsibilities have added up?

2 right? Mind you his only job has been driving on uber with the same income or even worse lesser income because he can't keep late like he used to do when he was still single.

So don't be quick to judge my brother the country is hard.

My fellow Nairalanders,

As this epidemic has ravaged our country I have directed resources to where they are needed.

As Uber drivers are their own bosses and not employees, they surely have reserves for this trying period that has just started. As such, I have directed all resources to our more vulnerable citizens in the form of my 31 employees through additional cash bonuses for bulk food purchases to assure that they do not starve. We are also managing resources so they continue to receive paychecks while this pandemic continues.

Should this pandemic be extended, extra resources- if available - may discretely be shared with non-CEO Uber employees with good employment history and customer service like chillex8 on a need-based assessment as there have already been a couple of recipients approved and provided for.

Here concludes today's PSA. Thank you my fellow Nairalanders.

RAD AUTO FIRST!

This is what we call a CEO. I just dey Imagine the smile for chillex8 face. May God bless you more than you can imagine Mama Radu!

Not really, the reason most people don't save is because they try to do it big. If each day N1,000 was transferred into interest bearing savings, an Uber driver would have 30k a month plus interest for each month he's been driving. If you're saying you can't put away 500-1,000 a day, you are in the wrong hustle.

If I'm wrong and this is not possible please set me straight

Personal savings in the U.S. The economy might be strong in the U.S., but nearly 70 percent of Americans have less than $1,000 stashed away, according to GOBankingRates' 2019 savings survey. The poll, released December 16, revealed 45 percent have nothing saved.Dec 18, 2019...

What makes you think an average working Nigerian can save for raining day ?

And what are the women they married doing

See that's the problem. You guys still think that all falls on your shoulders and don't see your wives as viable resources. My dad does not hesitate to ask my mom for help and my husband doesn't hesitate to ask me for help. And yes, they both sometimes need help. As a matter of fact, I copied my parent's model and it hasn't let me down. Both husband and wife contribute equal portions of their income to the household and the rest is theirs to do as they please. I'm not down with the whole "sit back let the man make money for me to spend". Even housewives can contribute something to the household in the internet age.

But at the sametime the ones that can save, lack discipline and focus .. But the truly educated and well expose hard working ones that bust their tails off ,cannot save due to the economic conditions .. This is my p.o.v

Godservant84:


Lol, why do you at any chance you get try to demean Nigeria or Nigerians, and you embellish it with words like "the average Nigerian" you do it subtly, I have not been here for long but I have noticed it.

The US or whatever country you usually compare with Nigeria didn't just become what they are today, they had their challenges.

Nigeria may not be all you want now but it will be someday whether you believe it or not.

The funny thing is most guys I have seen talk about Nigeria being this and that are quick to run here to make money because they know Nigeria is a gold mine.

Now, I am not saying Nigeria have it all together, but it will get there, every country has their challenges, it just depends on where you are, at your challenges.

If it's not that you have high moral standard than the average Nigerian, it is that our insurance companies are shit or that the average Nigerian can't save for rainy days, who told you all this?

You can simply say what you want to say without having that air of being better at everything than the " average Nigerian" because you reside somewhere that is supposedly better than Nigeria.

I actually enjoy you when you give out your business experiences, the few times I have come across them, I learn alot from them.. Cheers

It is possible. Although I do not use an interest bearing savings, what I use is the local piggy bank (kolo)

What I do is after the close of work, I set aside 1500-2000 that I put inside my ‘kolo’, I make it the first thing to do when I get home and I have been doing it consistently since January 4.

I used the piggybank app in December and set it to automatically debit my account of 3k at 11:59pm daily.
