If you're complaining that 200K monthly is no longer sustainable, what will people who earn less say?

Sometimes, I feel you guys deliberately create this kind of topic to 'pepper' some people. Make una take am suffery suffery o, pressure ti wa already.

I think you are not prudent in your spending. It not until you drink or womanize.

Some people are earning far lesser than that and they are still striving to survive by managing and cutting cost. Blowing 200k in few days is out of it.

When your monthly income is no longer sufficient to meet your needs, it can be challenging, but there are several steps you can take to manage the situation and improve your financial stability:

Budget Review:

Reassess your budget to identify areas where you can cut expenses. Focus on necessities and prioritize spending.

service providers to negotiate bills or explore alternative, more affordable options for utilities, insurance, and other regular expenses.

Financial Counseling:

Seek advice from financial counselors or advisors who can provide guidance on managing your financial situation and planning for the future.

Identify and eliminate non-essential expenses. This may include subscription services, dining out, or other discretionary spending.
Skill Development:

Community Resources:

Explore local community resources, such as food banks, community centers, or charitable organizations that may offer assistance during difficult times.

Did I read this well or this is some joke?

How can you blow 200K in less than a week? Doing what exactly? The economy is bad, yes, but 200K can still go a long way and last a full month if used wisely. Even married people would be great to earn this much money now!

Is it transport?
Do you eat out only/buy food?
Do have dependents?

If you don't know how you spend your income, then you're one very unserious fellow.

my brother that money is Change.

You are a reckless spender

WhiteRuler:
I mean by the grace of God, I have been making such amount per month and sometimes more, but can I shock you? I'm always broke! That money, if it comes in bulk does not stay more than 5 days in my before the balance returns to what looks like a radio station frequency (92.5, 93.7 etc). Lol.

Abeg anybody else in my shoes? I don't drink, smoke or womanize or even spend money on unnecesary things. The cost of living in the country is just EXTREMELY high, which is the main thing that finishes the money in no time.

As things are now, making millions is the only way out but how I go reach there?

Which hustles I fit add to the one I'm doing now?

On the flip side, I believe successful governments especially the present one have been very intentional about subjecting the citizens into poverty the more for political gains.

My point

With the level of hunger, starvation and frustration going on in the country, people would be begging for any amount to vote during election, the political gains.

May God help us.

you got the point. These things are intentionally done.

well thank God.APC thunder fire una for making mockery of this nation

If this is a lie (and I hope it is), it is an over bloated lie and if it's true, man! You need to seat down with yourself and talk to yourself.
I don't want to ask how you blow 200k in a week, because I know why, and that won't be an issue if you were earning earning more, much more than 200k.

You need to cut your clothes according to your size and also inculcate the habit of saving. Forget investment for now, just save and build on funds first then think of how to invest the funds when you get enough saved.

People making far less than that are surviving. You need a good budget..

I have also met doctors making $15,000 - $18,000 a month, and are still complain that they can't save.
