How Can a 30-Year-Old Survive on ₦250,000 a Month?

A young Nigerian earning ₦250,000 a month broke down his expenses in a recent post. He revealed that his annual rent alone is ₦1.1 million, and he spends about ₦75,000 on transport each month. After rent and transport, he says there’s barely anything left for food, electricity, internet, clothing, fuel and emergencies. He asked: “How is a 30-year-old supposed to start a family or buy a car under these conditions?” His struggle has struck a chord with thousands of young Nigerians. While salaries remain stagnant, living costs keep rising. The debate now is whether smarter budgeting can help or if the system has simply become too expensive.
