500k is not ok for a single man? OP I'm sure you are just catching cruise, how do you want majority of us that earns less than 150k with children to feel?
Ur taste is very high o.

I'm not catching cruise...I have tried by cutting wasteful lifestyle...in fact I stopped womanising and drinking.

But the reality is I want my kids to go to the best schools and live in a decent environment.

In Abuja here, a decent 2 bedroom is 1.5-2 million. With my 500k per month, it will be very foolish to live in such apartments.

So, I have to do everything possible to double or triple my income to live in such environment.

The fact is that a 500k income in today’s Nigeria is very meagre.

superCleanworks:


100K feeding per month.
Even if you kill a goat every month.

abeg shift

You that you're talking how much do you spend monthly on feeding. You make the 100k feel so big when in reality I need to manage to cope with that amount.

superCleanworks:


who is stopping you from calling it?
move to a higher paying job or switch to a different country.
you would still cry the same cry even if your salary was 1m a month. WHY? because you would not be able to buy aventador like young Davido and build a billion naira house like Linda Ikeji when she probably has 3 more houses of such nature plus all the private jet trips and vacation to Burj Khalifa.
2m a month you will still create a thread to cry about how you hate your income.

Oga these guys are rich. I'm just trying to emphasise how small a 500k income is. In my opinion, to leave a decent life, you need 2-3mill monthly.

Mindlog:


I have a good idea because there are people back in Nigeria, I support their feeding and constantly up to date with prices.

What is wack about yam and oil, especially spiced with pepper?

If you "indeed" earn such, spending 100k monthly on feeding yourself and still starve yourself of a meal then something is fundamentally wrong at your end

Nothing is wrong with yam and oil but that's not a balanced diet.

I spend 4-5 on feeding daily. For instance, I bought fruits last night for dinner and it cost me 4.5k. I also bought a crate of egg for 2.5k. Things are very expensive these days.

That crate of egg was 1.4k in June last year.

The bread I use to buy 800 is now 1k... why am I even explaining this to you when it's public knowledge

Nemesis0147:
we’re in Abj do you stay?
Na Abuja night life dey finish your money boss

I stay in galadima opposite dawaki... I swear I don't even spend on nightlife. At most is 20-30k monthly.

Nemesis0147:
get ur facts right
Got a land at trademore estate for 4.5m last year…plan yourself well.

I don't doubt you but you know trademore is prone to flooding due to poor planning.

Mindlog:


I am not based in Nigeria but it still doesn't add up, spending N100k monthly on feeding and eating twice a day to save cost while in the same Nigeria, they are married men with 2 children who spend same monthly and they eat 3 times a day.

Since you don't stay in Nigeria, then you obviously have no idea what you are talking about.

"they are married men with 2 children who spend same monthly and they eat 3 times a day"

What is the quality of food? If I eat yam and oil or eat a wack soup for days, I wouldn't spend up to 100k.

faithfull18:
Find ways to increase your income then.

This is my main priority this year. I couldn't do that last year, but by God's grace I'll achieve a higher income in 2023

Mindlog:


And you are spending 100k monthly on feeding?...... Tales by moonlight, uncle tell us another story.

I just don't understand, your reply makes it feel I live in a different country.

Alright, to cook a pot of stew is average of 10k

2k - Tomatoes
Meat - 5k
Oil - 8.5k - to be used subsequently
Misc - 2k

A kilo of meat is now 3k. Old layer chicken is 4k and 6k for broiler. Titus fish is 1.2k per one.

So I honestly don't know how you spend less. Can you elaborate.

Banilla:
Exactly! He spends way too much. Imagine earning half a million monthly. I would be saving nearly everything.

Please let's be very frank, how do you intend to save "nearly everything"?

Because I have even limited my feeding to twice daily just to cut cost and stop other lifestyles that take money away.

Just how do you intend to save nearly everything I would like to know and will apply it.

themayor4542:
That amount you claimed is small, millions of Nigerians would be very grateful to be earning that.
For the fact that you think half a million naira salary is small says a lot about your spending culture.
You might not want to believe it, but lots of people build their house with similar income. Some even less.
I understand things are freaking expensive now and all, but that doesn’t mean you can’t live a decent life and save to build a house.

Thank you for dropping this intelligent reply. Honestly, the main reason I created this thread is due to the fact that I struggle to keep my expenses below 300k.

60k - tithe
60k - utilities
100k - feeding
30k - Flex
30k - transport
50 - donations to my mom, dad and other expenses

Yes, I can afford a land in a local area here in Abuja, but it will take me years to save to buy any land over 10mill. The average land in places like Kubwa and Gwarinpa cost 15mill+

superCleanworks:
it is too small. try 1.5 million per month for a start.

the insatiable nature of man

Yes, man is insatiable but we're talking about the reality here. Let's call a spade a spade.

I'm single and I earn a little over 500k but my biggest worry right now is how little that amount is.

Here's the point, my monthly expenses is around 300k which leaves me with around 300k savings. That should be around 3.6 million in a year.

How you wan take buy land of 10million, build house, even buy a decent car of 6m?

In other words, it will take me years to achieve anything tangible.

To be frank with you all, I really hate my income. I wish I can increase it.

I'm just wondering how people cope with similar income especially for family members and still achieve life goals.

I have watched him over the years, and I have come to the realisation that he is a very lazy player. I think his wife has to take some blame, ever since he married her, the Leo we know stopped fighting.

Messi is the reason I started supporting a club of which I chose Barcelona.

If you watched yesterday match just like other embarrassing experiences in the past, Messi didn't press like he used to.

Imagine a 36yr old modric could remove the ball off his legs.

My advice, if you’re in a ambitious career, you equally need a partner that propels you to win at all cost.

Messi disgusts me so much. His clearly a burden to PSG.

Oga Messi, if you’re tired of playing, why not just hang boot.

Against Roma, it was the same lackadaisical attitude. It was same attitude against Liverpool, Bayern and even this psg last season.

Don't even start those sentimental talk that he's not the only one on the pitch, there something called talisman.

Messi was a talisman, not anymore. This days, its disgusting to watch him play. I hope he retires from football as soon as possible.

Greetings brother. I grew up in a restricted christain family, never had full penetration, I masturbate most times to relieve myself, currently 25 years old. I stopped masturbation cos I read about porn induced eeectile dysfunction (PIED), how it affects the testerone level and all that. My problem now is, I wan to start patronizing prostitutes cos I heard that it'll help a man to last longer during sex, when ure already used to the whole thing.

Please advice me, what do you think?

My aim is to last very long in bed so that my wife will not be able to look outside, as I'm an only son and will get married early.

I relate, I suffered severe maltreatment from my uncle's wife when I was younger. I think it's the reason I'm socially awkward.

Well, to be very honest with you, the last thing you want to engage in is visit a prostitute. I can assure you, you’ll get addicted to them unless you're social and can mingle with girls. Otherwise, prostitutes will become your last resort to the extent you will feel hopeless.

As for lasting long in bed, prostitutes didn't help me last long in bed. I can last up to 20 minutes in my second round of sex and I think that's enough for me. In my first round of sex, it can be anywhere 5-10 minutes. In fact, of all the prostitutes I banged, a significant number of them were lost in the act. Only 2 girls were bold enough to tell me how good I was in bed. So brother don't even bother about not satisfying your wife. Just stay healthy, eat fruits and exercise well.

With condom on, I can bang for forever which I think is the effect of mastubating for too long. You see mastubating for a long time can reduce the sensitivity of the penis in such a way that you will need raw sex or extra sensitive condom to reach climax. This are all from my experience.

I'll advice you get a girlfriend, that's what I intend doing in the next three months. I need to undergo a series of tests before going into any relationship. If it's too hard to woo a woman publicly, do so online.

I advice you again, do not go the prostitute way, you will regret it. This advice also goes to anyone who just quit mastubating and hoping that prostitute is the answer. No, it's not. Just get a girl, you'll be more fulfilled.

I have come to realise that shy, low-self esteem, social awkward, high level of introvercy individuals are more likely to mastubate and might end up visiting prostitutes since wooing a woman is like a mountain climb.

lereinter:


Do you live alone or with your parents??

What kind of home set-up?

Are you allowed to mix?

I live in alone in a 2 bedroom apartment. I never bring prostitutes home. Everything must happen in the hotel. I live a very secluded life.

I'm a scientist, so I know I'm clearly addicted. I just had to create this account to stay anonymous because what I'm about to spill is so shameful to me. Even worse, is that I don't know what the end will be because I lack total control of my third leg.

Alright guys, my dick is my only problem right now. In fact I feel so depressed and traumatised.

I have everything going well for me, I make enough money to buy just anything moderate. I have not been to the hospital for over a decade because the need never arised.

So what's my problem? I can't answer that question because I'm so confused. I know I'm addicted to prostitutes and I haven’t been able to tame this dick of mine.

I'm a very shy guy, I find it hard to socialize with men not to talk off the opposite sex. So, I started with masturbation which lasted over a decade. Then I started making good money, I felt masturbation wasn't what I want, that I had to stop it.

I started visiting prostitutes. Its over 5yrs now, and all I want is to Bleep them all. Yeah, that's how I feel. Bleep all the women, yet I can't even approach one. So, I go for the easy way, prostitutes!

My biggest problem right now, isn't that I'm so addicted to prostitutes or spending money (over 70k every month), but I have had 35 prostitutes without protection. I'm so mad right now because I just bleeped a public toilet without protection. It's the only reason I decided to share this with you all. I'm sufferingggg...............

I have decided to get a girlfriend, I wish to marry next year, but I'm so ashamed, I don’t deserve any woman. Apart from the prostitutes I had without protection, I have had sex with 102 prostitutes in total. And I'm just 33yrs. Gosh! I feel so dirty!

I'm so obsessed with women, and I feel masturbation is the culprit. I fear more that I may not stop even if I have the most beautiful girl on earth by my side. I read the story of a lady who claimed her husband was obsessed with prostitutes in Canada, it shocked me so hard.

Is there anyone who has faced same predicament as mine? How did you win? No woman is safe with me, not even minors because I can't control this dick of mine.

Without alcohol, prostitutes are never attractive to me. So, I must take some alcohol to be in the mood.

Last night, on my regular routine, after drinking alcohol, I met this chubby lady. She was so sexy. I told her exclusively, I find it hard having sex without condom, that I only wanted her to give me a handjob. I pay well, so this girls know me already, it's a fight to have me in their room.

She gave me a Mouth Gig which I wasn't okay with, but I felt save to some extent. After giving me Mouth Gig for a long while, I didn't reach climax. I started mastubating, hoping to reach climax. Still it didn't happen. The lady was already like, f××k me without condom, but don’t release inside. I was contemplating in my mind, Gosh! Not again. Eventually, I reasoned, f××k it! I had her without protection and it took less than 5 minutes for me to reach climax.

This is exactly the same scenario that plays out in all my shameful adventures with these women. And I'm so feld up right now.

I can go on and on, but I don't like writing long epistles. Gosh! I have sex evey 2 days! I can't even go just 1 week without sex. Although I haven’t masturbated in the last 5 yrs, addiction to prostitutes is killing me. How do I even stop this whole sh××t? I feel suicidal.

Please note, it took me a whole lot to share my problem here. I won't take it funny with anyone who says this isn't real. I just want your honest opinion (castigation or advice), please state it. If you don't have anything to say, please and please keep your mouth shot.

I want more opinion on my predicament. Thanks!
