Am I Being Extravagant?? 40k Salary Spent Just 4 Days Into The Month by Lakebib: 5:19pm On Mar 04
I have been on this job for a while now, and while I have tried my best to live within my means, I somehow always end up in debt. The past few months have been worse; the prices of everything have tripled, and I am struggling to cope. I was paid on the 29th, and after clearing a backlog of bills, I am left with almost nothing, and I haven't even gotten food yet.

I've been working for two years with nothing to show for it. I can only boast of dilapidated foam in a rather empty room; I haven't bought anything new for myself in ages, and at the age of 32, it gives me serious cause for concern. I only have 2k on me to guide for the month, and I don't know what to do to improve my financial situation. I am always tensed, with my heart beating fast all the time. I would appreciate any suggestions and ideas on how I can break free from this york of poverty.

What you wrote up there shows you are living more than your income which has led you to be embroiled in debt,

You virtually eats all your salary before it arrives.

If you can't manage 40k you can as well unable to manage 400k

Your attitude towards money must change,if you desire to improve your finances

You have to make a lot of sacrifices and clear all your debts.

Yes,things are expensive, but draw out a modest budget for the month in line with your salary and follow it judiciously,so that you will have something left.

With time you Will get used to it

No wonder majority of you are always frustrated online and attacking innocent people.



Stop living above your means

N40K a month is not much to go by these days unless you have some other support.

However, I would advice you draw up a "budget" to monitor your spending. Atleast if you can't increase your income, you will see where the money is going and possibly find alternatives e.g you can get a room mate to share the house bills with.

All the best.

- are you single?
- where do you live?
- what about changing your ways to alleviate your burden?
- living off credit is a sure way to a slow death

Are you for real dude? Comparing 40k with 400k? You must be joking. Go to the market now and ask for the price of things and you will know that 40k is like 10k currently. No doubt he needs to watch his spending but 40k is no money. I'd advise him to up his game and search for another job. A better job. Things won't always be bad. There is hope
