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

in Hive Learnerslast year

You are absolutely right. Housing will be an insurmountable challenge. Transportation to and from a job a huge part of the budget. Safe drinking water eats into the meager budget. Healthcare? Seriously? It will be virtually impossible to cope if you get sick. How about cleaning and grooming supplies? Clothing? Certainly not going to be trendy. Absolutely going to be second hand that no-one else wanted. Airconditioning in the Nigerian heat? Not possible. Entertaining guests? Going on fun vacations? Nope.

The list of the impossible goes on and on. It is very very easy to just say can't be done. Not my problem. Move on to something less depressing.

My goal is simply to look at what MIGHT be possible. What COULD be done. It won't be easy. It won't be conventional. It is probably a waste of time. However, if no-one even tries then a huge portion of the worlds population is doomed.

I certainly appreciate your input and hope you will rip apart all the posts I put up on this topic.

All I ask is that you keep an open mind and if there is a good idea that comes up you acknowledge it 😁

....and if there is a terrible idea you tell me and stomp that bad idea to death 😎

you've got it mate! Love your optimism ... seeing only things that are possible. A good way to begin to make some positive change one way or the other.

Well... how about taking attention away from the meagre some and trying to make it fit for a life...? How about having another perspective... one that seeks to improve income.... cos let's be frank... 30k a month, even though it was pretty good 30yrs ago would not be what someone would aspire to learn for a lifetime.
