Do I Build A Small House Now Or Keep Saving? by covid2019: 3:43pm On May 01, 2020 |
I am in a dilemma worsened by this covid19. I am a graduate male of 29 residing in the East. I still squat with a friend, not because I don't have money for house rent. But principally because I have been unable to figure out what I want to do with my life, hence renting a house feels like a commitment that might get me stuck. I always feel I might move anytime soon-- to either another state or abroad for masters or just practice of my profession. Note that I didn't study a STEM course. All these while squatting, I have been saving via my proceeds from hustles. In the wake of this COVID19, I checked all my banks and found out that money I have in my account has lost so much value given the dollar rate. I have 11.4 million, inclusive of my working capital, plus a rickety car valued at 350k. Each time, I need just 3-5m as working capital. It seems that trying to save more is false economy and might be counter productive. NOW, I AM CONSIDERING buying a plot of land and erecting a small house even if it's 3 rooms. This, I think will serve as investment that will keep appreciating and also serve as residence. Or just open a domiciliary account to hedge against naira fall and continue saving. What do you think please? 138 Likes 15 Shares |

Build you would be glad you did 5 years from now. Use about 6-7 Million to build, invest half of the rest. You would have change to invest in a business 11 Million is a lot of money Follow me on Twitter ![]() 136 Likes 8 Shares |

covid2019:build rooms you can let out on the land if it is a commercial or semi commercial area. You can build some room self contain and put it out for rent. Money to travel out will still surfice in your estimated money 128 Likes 6 Shares |

If the house u want to build is ur own residential house, I'll advice u to invest that money into different businesses, u can multiply that money by 5 in the next ten years, but if u want to give it out for rent, I'll say u should build it. Ur first priority should be more money. The house, if not for rent will depreciate but land does not. Also if u haven't figured out what to do with ur life, I'll say u hold that money till u find urself. Don't just run and invest wen u have no idea what to invest on. U can loose everything.Best thing u can do with ur money is to use it and make more money, but do it wisely Modified. To those quoting me that house doesn't depreciate, what do u say about the brick houses 20-30years ago or the mud and thatch house during our great grandma's time? Brick house was a hot cake in the 90's, also in late 90's if u have a block house, u are rich, 20years from now Architecture will bring up a new design and glass houses will be as worthy as what block house is today. Be here thinking houses don't depreciate. 271 Likes 20 Shares |
