Can 15k don anything meaningful in this present day Nigeria ?

Me that carried 5k to the market yesterday and I didn't even see what I bought undecided

Inflation don really eat deep into everything

In those days people use to go with empty 25kg bag or 50kg bag when they are going to the market with around 3k-5k so that they can use it to pack the plenty items they are going to come back home with.

Those days are gone forever now with that same amount of money everything will fit into a poly bag and space go still remain undecided

How are you Coping, despite the Harsh Economy?

Lemme advise you. The fact is that all those things they thought us in school are not really relevant in the real world. They're useful but they're too low for what the modern skill market needs. If you want to get a good pay you'll have to reeducate yourself by taking courses online and watching youtube videos.

Do you have a laptop?

If yes, then I think you should quite that 15k job. It might be tough but I believe it's the right thing to do. There'll be tough times that might make you regret leaving your 15k job but try to focus on where you're going.

Find time to learn WordPress and/or graphics design. If you're smart you should be up and running with WordPress in one month of intensive study.

Next, jump to facebook and create a business page. Same on twitter.

Next, offer to design websites for businesses for free but they'll pay for their domain name and hosting. These are the ones you'll use as portfolio and sample.

Next, start advertising aggressively on twitter and facebook that you'll help people design a website for 5k. Finding one client a week is possible. You may need to visit hubspot to learn about digital marketing tricks and tips.

The above is just to give you a quick side hustle to get some money. It's not really enough to build a future on. But the small money you're getting from it should help you stay away from teaching jobs.

Next, you should learn a sustainable skill like copywriting, data science, web programming. There's money in these skills. It might take some time before you land your first job but once you do. Your life will turn around drastically. I won't say much.

Pro tip: once you learn these things, make sure you build a brand of your own; business name, website, facebook page etc.

Now, you might ask:
1 - how do I get a laptop?
2 - how do I get money to sustain myself for my first few months of learning?

Go and borrow money from your family and friends. I'm sure you'll have secondary and university mates that have become quite comfortable. Talk to them and see if they can be borrowing you 20k per month for the next three months (15k for food and 5k for data).

By this time next year, by the grace of God, you'll have paid those debts and be living decently to say the least.

Na God. Each job is 24 hours. I got two security jobs that as little stress. I sleep at night and the next day I go to the other work. So I was moving from work to work. I only go home once in a while during weekends. That if my supervisors give me permission.

How do you cope ?

No spare time to chill out or spend time with friends and family

Don't ever feel down! I've once been in that issue. I tried to stay back at the private school I served in IB. The workload is tedious than the pay but I bear it till I sourced out more income streams with the 15k, thou she later increased it to 20k. I take some freelance gigs online and offline, and other IT support.
My monthly expenses is more than the 20k she pays. I only liked the job for the short day, not long day like the bankers do.
I bear with the system till I was pissed off by the hurting words of those unseasoned rich people with no sense of humour.
