RE: How to survive on 30000 Naira (65USD) per month.... sanity check and call for help.

in Hive Learners2 years ago

I also believe there is a way out.
Positive rich ways, and you outlined the important useful ones.
Especially when it comes to our diet.

If the family can also plant and grow some crops, it could help a bit.
But 30,000 naira for a family of 4 for a month is still going to be a fight.

I could help out with few price of the food items listed from my end.
And prices differs based on location and where it is bought.
But will still be close.

My end goal is 30K for ONE person.

I appreciate you offering to help. However, I think you should know that I have set aside 65HBD/month (30K Naira) to my project. At first to reward those people who help out with me making the plan. At the end to hire someone to see how well (or poorly) the plan works.

If you, Monica, or others provide help to me getting prices and giving me ideas I fully expect to share a portion of that budget along to you.

However, I'm wondering the best way to divide that budget.

Any advice you have would be appreciated.

Thanks

Side note: Next post in the 30K lifestyle will be about water satchet. Would you happen to have a picture of one that I could use for my post?

Number of participants should also be determined.

30k for a person is going to be a normal managing lifestyle.

We will start to settle the necessary ones :

  1. Housing : Simple single room is 5000 naira per month.
  2. Water : Buying from a borehole 30 naira daily.
  3. Drinking water : Pure water a bag is 300 naira having 20 sachet which one can drink 5-6 sachet a day.
  4. Soap,cream, toiletries etc
  5. Then feeding which comprises of a lot.
  6. Entertainment
  7. Health
  8. Savings for any other thing.

I will get a photo of a pure water soon.

Ohhh.... 5000 naira for a simple single room? I'll absolutely have to pay someone to go investigate what that room would be like! 30 Naira for borehole water? Also sounds very interesting. Need more information on that for sure. Pure drinking water I will admit I know how important pure water is but I'll be writing a post about how to get pure water for less money. That seems like too big a portion of the budget. Absolutely look forward to a picture.

Hahaha
That's the cost of a single room apartment in my location.
I forgot to include the electricity bill, toilet bill and a drink for the landlord.
Though these ones are paid in a total amount for a year.

A selfcon that has toilet, bathroom and kitchen inside, one you don't get to share with someone could be fifteen - twenty five thousand a month.

To put things in comparison. In my town a single room (no toilet, no kitchen) is about N 225,000 per month (about $500 USD). A self contained one bedroom unit w0uld probably be closer to N 500,000. Yes wages are higher in Canada but costs are also much much higher also. Very different budgeting which is why I'm so happy to have help on my mission from people such as yourself.

Thank you again.

I'm assuming that I have your permission to use the image above 😁... Hive is pretty demanding on having the right to post pictures ... hehehe

Yes, the house depends on the location.
The prices differs.
I chose the mostly cheapest or lowest manageable.

Like I said, is normal managing lifestyle.

Yes, you have my permission to use it.
