Kabir has always enjoyed a comfortable life and wants to maintain that. Between his love for gifting his partner and a ₦73k income, how will he avoid what he fears most — being poor?

An excerpt: “We have conversation about money all the time. He’s more financially literate, so he knows all about the stocks and bonds market. While I save my regular ₦10 – 15k, he has stocks with a telecommunication company in Nigeria and some his dad left him when he passed. He mentioned in July 2022 that he wanted to get me stocks, but due to the fall in the stock market, he hasn’t gotten around to it. “

Good morning, {$name}. 🌞

Random, but I have the same last name as a politician and former senator in my state. For a long time when I was growing up, this coincidence was something of a claim to fame. People were convinced that we were related and were disappointed when I told them they got it wrong. One time when I was in university, a porter was so sure I wasn’t telling the truth that he got me to call my dad to confirm what he thought he knew. To many people like him, I was just trying to keep a low profile.

At some point, I started telling people that this senator was a distant uncle — it was the fastest way to get them to leave me alone. But it also got me out of trouble in my uni a few times.

Naturally, I thought a lot about what it must be like to have a politician parent or close family member. And if this week’s Naira Life is anything to go by, it means not having to worry about your financial future. Let’s dive in!

In this letter:

• #NairaLife: The Politician’s Daughter Who Doesn’t Need to Work for Money
• HustlePrint: What Do You Need to Become a Musician in Nigeria?
• Love Currency:Dating in Benin on a ₦400k Photographer Monthly Income
• Money Meanings: “Bear Market”
• Game: #HowMuchLast
• Where The Money At?!

Since the 23-year-old subject of this #NairaLife turned 18, her future has been sorted — thanks to investments and a $250k trust fund set up by her parents. Still, she rated her financial happiness a 6. Why?

Among the things Douglas* wished for on his 24th birthday, finding love was not one of them. But when he met Susie*, he knew I wanted to be with her. In this interview, he talks about the voice note that started their love story, working as a photographer in Benin city, and his girlfriend’s reluctance to take money from him.

An excerpt: “I know how much is in her account most of the time because she tells me when money comes in. And since I get paid according to the number of images I edit, we usually do the calculations together. That way, she knows how much I earn every month.”

I saw a tweet yesterday about how a popular canned sardines brand has started advertising their product. Before now, they didn’t bother to do that and still sold. Yeah, times are tough. So, I started thinking about how much people think these are worth these days. So, #HowMuchLast for a tin of sardines?

Good morning, {$name}. 🌞

My name is Tife, and I’m here because I briefly kidnapped Toheeb with an exciting announcement.

ICYMI, Toheeb hinted this in the newsletter last week, but here’s the gist: I’ll be taking over this series from him.

Today’s Naira Life is my first (insert screams), but before we get into it, I had a conversation with Toheeb where he talked about his best (and least favourite) thing about writing the series. We also talked about some of the interesting things we hope to continue doing with Naira Life.

Tife: What was it like writing Naira Life?

Toheeb: It was revealing. Most of the conversations and the stories added a new layer of perspective or gave me a totally different context to something I already knew.

Tife: What did you like most about writing the series?

Toheeb: I’ve loved Naira Life even before I started writing it. My favourite part of the process was the conversations that led to the stories. Least favourite? I’m genuinely not sure. Maybe just the fact that it usually took most of my weekend. But even that wasn’t a disaster.

Tife: What’s your best Naira Life story?

Toheeb: Haha. This is an incredibly difficult question. I have a few favourites for varying reasons. But the Naira Life that moved me the most was NL 137.

I also have a question for you, Tife. What are you looking forward to the most about owning Naira Life?

Tife: Meeting rich people and begging them to show me the way. JK JK. I’m looking forward to the conversations and bringing even more diverse stories. NairaLife is known for sharing the stories of people with very broad worldviews and distinct experiences, and I want to do more of that. From the female carpenter on the road, to the silent millionaires and everyone in between.

Cheers to new beginnings. Now, let’s get into this week’s stories.

In this letter:

• #NairaLife: The Christian Missionary Trusting God With ₦49k/Month
• HustlePrint: From Studying Agricultural Engineering to Working at Spotify
• Love Currency:Dating in Abuja on a ₦700k Influencer Monthly Income
• Money Meanings: “Palliative”
• Game: #HowMuchLast
• Where The Money At?!

The 34-year-old in this #NairaLife set out to escape a life of poverty in Mushin, Lagos. But a decision to follow God meant abandoning a ₦150k/month offer and a promising civil engineering career for ₦5k/month to volunteer at a Christian mission in 2015.
Now, he can hardly boast of a monthly income, but he’s sure of one thing: he’ll never be stranded.

After COVID, Julia* quit her insurance job to focus on being a food blogger. In this article, she tells us how her boyfriend influenced her decision, going from earning ₦30k to ₦700k monthly and her plan to be financially independent.

An excerpt: “We’re not really big on gifts, but we try to get something for each other on birthdays. For his birthday this year, I got him a cake and perfume. I also sent him money. Everything was approximately ₦70k. While for my birthday, he got me a cake, two customized shirts and tote bags for my brand.

We still don’t go on actual dates because he doesn’t like going out, and since my work keeps me outside most of the time, I prefer to spend my time indoors too.

Good morning, {$name}. 🌞

I have a few financial hacks I keep talking about adopting that I never get around to. On top of this list is paying for device insurance. I believe the premium is a fair trade-off for the value you get if you eventually need it. So why haven’t I gone ahead and done it, eh?

It’s particularly worrying because I have a computer I’ve abandoned for a few months because of a damaged screen. Last week, I had a scare with my backup computer. You’d think that’d spur me to action, but nah. I’m still out here covering my devices with the “Blood of Jesus” and “Insha Allah”.

This isn’t foolproof, is it? Let’s hope I do the right thing before I have to find out.

By the way, we have important news to share next week. Stay tuned.

Now, let’s get into this week’s stories.

In this letter:

• The #Nairalife of the Documentary Photographer With Tech Founder Dreams
• HustlePrint: Fancy a Career in Social Media Influencing? Here’s What You Should Know
• Love Currency: Family Life in Warri, Delta State, on a ₦51k Fixed Pension
• Money Meanings: “Purchasing Power”
• Game: #HowMuchLast
• Where The Money At?!

Between 2018 and 2023, this 28-year-old worked as a photographer in a state’s governor’s office. At first, his official salary was ₦50k, then it grew to ₦120k. Now that’s over, he’s returned to his first love — software development. His plan? Building tech businesses.

After 30 years at the bank, Mr Patrick* retired in 2014 and moved into his house in Warri, Delta state. He shares what led to his early retirement, how his friend ghosted him after an investment deal and putting his children through school on an epileptic pension supply.

An excerpt: “I [currently] run a fabric business. When I started in 2016, business was good, but with how bad the economy has been, my business has suffered greatly. People are working hard just to make ends meet, so they’re not thinking of getting new fabric. Sometimes, I go a week without selling a thing. Still, I open shop Monday to Saturday just in case a customer comes. Some months, I could get orders to supply a friend for an event, and the profit would be about ₦50k – ₦70k. Part of the money goes back to the business and shop rent at the end of the year.“

Good morning, {$name}. 🌞

June (almost) wrecked me.

For about three years now, my biggest bills have been due in June. I’m still not sure how this happened.

On one hand, I’m a bit relieved that it’s all done and over with. But the countdown to June 2024 has also started. Ugh.

I’ll be sulking for the whole of July while manifesting for money I didn’t work for. Wish me luck.

Anyway, let’s get into this week’s stories.

In this letter:

• The Disciplined #NairaLife of An Upwardly Mobile Development Worker
• HustlePrint: I Joined Twitter to Have Fun, Now I Make a Living on It
• Love Currency: Married Life in Lagos on a ₦1.3m Monthly Accountant Salary
• Money Meanings: “Liquidity”
• Game: #HowMuchLast
• Where The Money At?!

After 27 years of barely getting by, this 34-year-old project manager’s finances started to turn around in 2017. The biggest game-changers so far, though, are her jobs. Between 2019 and 2021, she worked at a job that paid her in foreign currency. Now, her current job has given her a hack that’s allowed her to save more. How?

When Titilayo* met Edwin* in 2015, she was fresh out of NYSC and splurging her salary on clothes. But since they married in 2019, she’s become obsessed with saving. In this article, she tells Zikoko how she’s surviving on only ₦300k out of her ₦1.3m monthly salary while earning more than her partner.

An excerpt: “Because Edwin (my husband) earns ₦880k, the pay gap is pretty obvious. Whenever I complain about him not chipping in with the feeding, he reminds me that he pays for most of the recurring expenses. He also gets upset when he thinks I’m splurging because I don’t have to pay bills. Sometimes, I wish we could switch to when he earned more. “

Good morning, {$name}.🌞

Last year, I bought a Meta Quest 2 VR headset. It wasn’t a need, but I thought it might be fun to explore the immersive world of virtual reality. And man, oh man, what a piece of technology it is. If I’m not fighting hordes of zombies on The Walking Dead, I’m watching video content in ways I didn’t imagine were possible.

My headset was my shiny, new toy until recently.

A few weeks ago, Apple announced the soon-to-be-released Vision Pro. My initial, impulsive thought was, “What’s better than one VR headset? Two.” Then I saw the price. At $3500, I’ll have to shell out more than 12x what it cost me to buy a Meta Quest 2.

I guess one VR headset is enough after all. But I’m curious, how much do you consider a fair price for Apple’s new device? Hold that thought until you get to #HowMuchLast a few sections below.

First, let’s get into this week’s stories.

In this letter:

• #Nairalife:₦810k/month but She Doesn’t Love Her Relationship With Money
• HustlePrint: Mechanics Can Also Be Ballers. Here’s How You Can Become One
• Love Currency: A Long-distance Relationship, in London and Lagos, on a £4k Monthly Income
• Money Meanings: “Floating Exchange”
• Game: #HowMuchLast
• Where The Money At?!

In the past seven years, the 27-year-old in this #NairaLife has grown her income from ₦35k to ‎₦810k. However, her financial satisfaction is 5.5. Why? Doesn’t she earn enough or does she live above way her income means?

We all have a degree of anxiety about money, and it’s always interesting to see how it guides our financial decisions. The subject of today’s Naira Life earns reasonably well, but saving money is not his thing. A lot of it has to do with his previous experiences with money, or the lack of it — and what it meant for his family.

Let’s get into this week’s stories.

In this letter:

• #Nairalife: Why Does This Comms Manager Have a Phobia of Saving?
• HustlePrint: How Do You Become a Mechanic in Nigeria? We Asked One
• Love Currency: A Long-distance Relationship in Ibadan and Lagos on a ₦30k Salary
• Money Meanings: “Floating Exchange”
• Game: #HowMuchLast
• Where The Money At?!

The communications manager in this story will always prioritise investing in real estate over saving. Why? His family has gone through the worst of housing situations, and he won’t let it happen again.

An excerpt: “I’m looking forward to a financial future where we’re both earning enough to comfortably sustain us. My boyfriend’s handwork promises to give him a lot of money. Mine is also promising. We don’t have to be stinky rich; I just want to be able to afford as many wigs and shoes as I want and decide not to go to work and not feel guilty.“

Folake* (27) met her partner, Ezra* (26) during their NYSC in Kaduna, and they bonded over their knowledge of God and shared birthdays. In this story, she tells Zikoko about their initial fake relationship, celebrating their birthdays together, and how they plan to finance their upcoming wedding.

An excerpt: “We’re very open about our finances, and this makes it easier for our relationship because we know what each person can do, and we’ve learned to be content with what we get. We have simple dates where we buy shawarma and ice cream or food from Chicken Republic when we can’t go to a restaurant. The expensive dates are for when we go out with friends, and he usually offers to pay. I think the bill for our birthday last year was about ₦40k. He didn’t show me.”

Good morning, 🌞

I’m a big fan of today’s Naira Life for a few reasons. But the biggest is probably how the subject has done multiple things over the year and ensured she was good at them. Ultimately, the different pivots and her dedication to the processes got her a big break.

According to her, she couldn’t afford not to be a hard worker. Let’s find out why, shall we?

In this letter:

• #Nairalife: She Struggled Financially For A While. She Never Wants To Go Back
• HustlePrint: From Unpaid Volunteer Roles to Working at an International NGO
• #LoveCurrency: Married Life in the UK on an £800 Monthly Sales Rep Income
• Money Meanings: “Arbitrage”
• Game: #HowMuchLast
• Where The Money At?!

This 30-year-old business exec has done multiple things for money — from managing a food business to working in HR and brand communication. But business development stuck, and it’s what brought her monthly income from ₦133k to ₦2m.

What does her #NairaLife look like?

After four years of dating between Abuja and Lagos, Susan and David refused to deal with an even longer distance, so they married and moved to the UK. But how are they finding their feet in a new country while navigating the early stages of their marriage?

An excerpt: “It’s beginning to feel like we’re a married couple. I have my own pots and a kitchen! Even after the court wedding and introduction, it still felt like we were dating because we spent limited time together, but now it’s different. Nothing has changed in how we treat each other, but we’re settling into this new life together.
He pays the rent and major bills from what he makes from his part-time care job. And I’ve become more prudent with money. Some days back, we saw a nice hoodie on our way home, and he was considering getting it for me, but I told him it wasn’t necessary.

In Nigeria, family and social lending are an integral part of the economy and play a crucial role in supporting individuals and households in meeting their financial needs.

In a country where access to formal financial institutions is limited, these transactions serve as an alternative means of obtaining financial support. While there may be some risks associated with this phenomenon , family lending offers unique benefits that should be recognized and harnessed for the benefit of all.

On Friday, April 28th, at 5 PM(WAT) we will bring together key players and experts in the fintech industry including Tunji Andrews – CEO, Awabah and Tunde Akin-Moses – CEO, Sycamore to discuss the various ways to tackle the challenges of informal household financial transactions.

Good morning, 🌞

I like stories like this week’s Naira Life. It’s one where you’re going on one path or exploring multiple options, and out of nowhere, an opportunity comes and changes everything. For the lady in this story, one thing drove the chain of events of everything that’s happened in the past six years; her voice.

Let’s get into it.

In this letter:

• #Nairalife: How Did She Hit Impressive Financial Milestones At 22? Voice Acting
• HustlePrint: How to Actually Make Money on YouTube
• #LoveCurrency: An Enugu to Canada Long-Distance Marriage on a ₦210k Monthly Income
• Money Meanings: “Market Capitalization”
• Game: #HowMuchLast
• Where The Money At?!

Before 2017, the 22-year-old in this story was just a university student who’d tried a few businesses. A radio internship and job recommendation unlocked a potential long-term stream of income for her. The key to this? Her voice.

Seven years of throwing things at the wall later, this is what her finances look like.

Read her #NairaLife here

Dinma* (27) met her husband Nnamdi* (34) for the first time a few days before their court wedding in 2021. In this article, she tells us about Nnamdi asking her to marry him four months after they started talking, planning their wedding together online and how they manage the distance and time difference in their marriage now.

An excerpt: “We have conversations about money. We even agreed to open a joint account that he’d be funding mostly till I got a better-paying job, but we didn’t have time to go to the bank the last time he was around.
He knows I earn a decent salary, and can comfortably take care of my feeding, electricity and fuel bills, he assists with the heavy bills like rent and car maintenance. So whenever he doesn’t have money or has other financial commitments, he tells me, so I can prepare to cut costs for that period.
”

How does their relationship work?

A survey data by EFInA in 2020 on financial inclusion shows that 1 in 3 Nigerian adults are financially excluded – with no access to formal financial services such as payment, savings, and credit. This means that individuals and business owners who are financially underrepresented usually rely on family, friends, or coworkers for financial support and are bound by the principal amount.

Stephen’s girlfriend fell in love with him when he had just ₦30 to his name. Six years have now passed and he’s in a better place financially. But what expectations does she have of him and their relationship?

An excerpt: “My girlfriend knows everything about my finances. I’m so transparent with her because I don’t see the need to hide anything from someone I plan to spend the rest of my life with. I help her with negotiations when she has cooking jobs, and I give her money to keep for me — ₦150k here, ₦250k there.”

Good morning. 🌞

We often think about the job that will change the trajectory of our lives and finances. It’s almost impossible not to.
But what happens when you finally find the “perfect job”, and it ends up being a false start? What if you start a seemingly life-changing job and get laid off in your first week?

If you ask today’s Naira Life subject these questions, her answer will go something like, “been there, done that.”

She’ll probably also tell you how her income grew slowly for years before it took a giant leap.

Let’s get into it.

In this letter:

• #NairaLife: This Product Manager Went from ₦220k to ₦1.4m Monthly in Two Years Through Remote Jobs
• HustlePrint: How Did This Nigerian Student Get Into Microsoft With Zero Work Experience?
• #LoveCurrency: A Berlin to Lagos Long-Distance Marriage on a $4k Monthly Income
• Money Meanings: “Bad Debt”
• Game: #HowMuchLast
• Where The Money At?!

In 2021, this #NairaLife subject was laid off in her first week at a “life-changing job” at a tech company. While her savings provided some comfort, her next job offer tilted the scales back in her favour. Her next stop? A UK master’s degree to improve her earning potential.

This is her #NairaLife

For 28-year-old Obi and his wife, their relationship was built on spending quality time together and eating their fave foods. But with his move to Germany right after their wedding, how do they manage the distance?

An excerpt: “We buy things for each other sometimes, but we usually send money. For instance, for Christmas 2021, I got her shoes, sneakers, a leather bag and necklace. For her birthday the following year, I sent her $1k. Other times, I give her my card to pay for stuff, or send her the occasional ₦100k – ₦200k when she wants something. ”

How do their long-distance marriage work?

Good morning, {$name}. 🌞

The running theme in today’s Naira Life is the hidden costs that make dreams come true. For seven years, this subject’s ultimate goal was returning to school. Now that it’s happening, he can only hope it sets him on a path to financial freedom.

But his motivations also run deeper. This didn’t make the final draft of the story, but when I asked him why he was so intentional about getting higher education, he said:

“My mum didn’t go to school because her father decided to focus only on her brothers. One of her brothers became a medical doctor, and another a banker. Until her death, my mum believed she would have done better in life if she had the same opportunities her brother did.”

This week’s #HowMuchLast game could alternatively be called “How much is a good night’s sleep worth.” I’m very curious to see your answers.

In this letter:

• The #Nairalife Of A Tricycle Operator Who Won’t Stop Betting On Himself
• HustlePrint: Everything You Should Know About Becoming a Chef in Nigeria
• #LoveCurrency: Co-habiting in Yaba, Lagos, on a ₦500k Monthly Income
• Money Meanings: “Bank Run”
• Game: #HowMuchLast
• Where The Money At?!

The 29-year-old in this #NairaLife is a tricycle operator and typically earns between ₦4k to ₦10k per day. But not for much longer. Between 2012 and 2019, he nursed a dream of getting higher education. Now he’s making it happen and hoping it’ll unlock his next level of income.

Read his #NairaLife here

In 2018, 22-year-old Adanna* randomly travelled to Lagos to hook up with a Facebook friend and ended up cohabiting with him. She never returned home. Four years later, she tells Zikoko how she’s living with her partner in Yaba on a ₦500k monthly income.

An excerpt: “I had an unhealthy relationship with money growing up. I didn’t understand money early as I was raised to be terrified of it. If you give me ₦5m today, I would freak out and overthink and micromanage every single expense. But not my man. He’s more comfortable with money. He’s the one who taught me to spend — especially on things I used to consider ridiculous like ₦50k on a single restaurant outing. He’s helped me ease the burden of guilt and taught me that above everything, money is a tool.”

How does co-habiting on a ₦500k salary work?

Good morning. 🌞

I’m fascinated by civil servants, and I like talking to as many as I can find. My mum has been working for the government for about two decades, and it was from her I first learned that what civil servants don’t get in rapid income growth, they get in job security and credit and financing structures.

This is also true for the 36-year-old civil servant in today’s NairaLife. For the better part of the last 13 years, she’s had to constantly punch above her financial weight in pursuit of her basic and grand goals. Ultimately, what made the difference was largely connected to her career in the civil service.

Without further ado, let’s dive into this week’s stories.

In this letter:

• #NairaLife: She’s a Civil Servant and Her Investment Choice is Real Estate
• HustlePrint: What Does a Career in Data Science Involve? Here’s the Tea
• #LoveCurrency: Dating in Lagos on an ₦80k Administrative Officer Income
• Money Meanings: “Purchasing Power”
• Game: #HowMuchLast
• Where The Money At?!

The civil servant in this #Nairalife has worked for 18 years and her current gross salary is ₦684k. But she also owns real estate worth over ₦40m.
How did she do this while supporting a family? Years of little moments adding up, relationships and access to loans.

This is what her #NairaLife looks like

Oge (33) met Ugo (31) on Twitter in 2021. Two years and 30+ love emails later, they’re engaged and planning their future together on a combined income of ₦280k.

An excerpt: “Since 2021, when he was earning ₦80k, till now that he earns ₦200k, he’s been transparent about how much money comes in, goes out, and how much he saves. He knows how much I earn and I save too. We’re both part of an ajo. We save ₦30k each, and I try to save up to ₦40k in some months.“

Can you leave your career decisions to God?

Before we get into today’s stories on money, I have an announcement.

We’re launching a new flagship tomorrow. It’s a double-packed column where we interview someone successful in a field and ask how they did it, then create a helpful guide for you the next week.

You’ve followed our stories about how people navigate money, now we want to help you make solid career decisions that might help you make some. Whether you’re just starting your career or already a pro, Hustleprint dey for you.

Today’s Money stories also talk about careers. For #LoveCurrency, our subject is focused on living the baby girl life now, and figuring out a career later. Our #NairaLife subject however, he left
everything — including major opportunities — to follow God’s plan for him to start a music career.

Has he made any money from music yet? Well, sort of. If you count the $5 he got from Spotify.

In this letter:

• The #NairaLife of a Career Directed by God
• #LoveCurrency: The Dating Life of an Undergraduate on a ₦160k+ Monthly Allowance
• Money Meanings: “Emergency Fund”
• Game: #HowMuchLast
• Where The Money At?!

After years making millions as an influencer, the 23-year-old on this week’s Naira Life is following God’s plan and starting a career in music.

I have aunties who’d ask if he’s sure it was God or the powers from his father’s house. 💀

Bella* is living the baby girl life, with no job, heavy bills or need for savings. In this story, she talks about meeting her two current boyfriends on Instagram and having her parents as her safety net.

An excerpt: “I could post online, and guys would slide into my DM. One time, I complained on IG about issues with my bank. One guy asked for my account number and sent ₦50k. Another one sent ₦30k. I can tell some people I like something, and they’d send me the money to get it.”

What’s a life with no financial responsibilities like?

It’s a new week!

I can’t hold my excitement as we enter into January’s 17th week. First, because we’re finally getting into the year, but secondly, and more importantly, because salary week is coming!

But if you see me outside, squeeze $1m into my hand.

The two stories we’re bringing your way today aren’t so similar, but they’re both captivating. For Naira Life, a gifted child was made to study architecture but decided to become an editor instead. She thinks she made the right choice.

On Love Currency, our subject wants to switch back to when her husband earned more than her because most of her salary now goes into family savings, and the responsibility is overwhelming.

In this letter:

• #NairaLife: Her Parents Chose Architecture. She Chose Music and Writing
• #LoveCurrency: Married Life in Lagos on a ₦1.3m Monthly Accountant Salary
• Money Meanings: “Golden Hello”

Because she could draw, this week’s #NairaLife subject’s parents thought architecture would be a great fit for her.

In university, she joined the press and media team and, from there, launched her editor career. Now, she’s a musician, looking to start her fashion line.

When Titilayo* met Edwin* in 2015, she was fresh out of NYSC and splurging her salary on clothes. But since they married in 2019, she’s become obsessed with saving. In this article, she tells Zikoko how she’s surviving on only ₦300k out of her ₦1.3m monthly salary while earning more than her partner.

An excerpt: Because Edwin earns ₦880k, the pay gap is pretty obvious. Whenever I complain about him not chipping in with the feeding, he reminds me that he pays for most of the recurring expenses. He also gets upset when he thinks I’m splurging because I don’t have to pay bills. Sometimes, I wish we could switch to when he earned more.

Happy Money Day!

Do you have a dream job? Is there an organisation or sector that you’d do anything to work at?

Or are you like me that doesn’t dream of labour?

For today’s subject on Naira Life, all it took him to decide that he wanted a career at one of the Big Four accounting firms was a missed internship opportunity and a conversation with his lecturer. And this guy? He’s a dream chaser.

Now that he works at a managerial position at one of the Big Four firms, he’s thinking of moving on. Who knows what his next dream will be?

In this letter:

• #NairaLife: Most-Read stories of 2022
• Money Meanings: “Gazumping”

Between 2010 and 2013, the 30-year-old on this #NairaLife missed two opportunities to fulfil his dream of working at a Big Four consulting firm, but he didn’t back down.

Now, he’s a manager at his dream job in the UK and thinks it might be time to move on.

Happy new year!

If you’re resuming work this week, I’m sending hugs. Why can’t our capitalist bosses leave us for the first week of the year?

Or… are you a capitalist boss?

If you’re like me, money is a big part of your 20223. Making money, spending money, investing money, everything. For everything you need to know about money, don’t forget to check your inbox every Monday for Money by Zikoko. We have some gems planned for you this year.

For this year’s first Naira Life, we spoke with a university-trained architectural engineer who decided to chase tech after his parents had spent over $100k on his education. He was even meant to take over his dad’s architecture company. Last year, he had where he made $14k as a software dev working from home.

Did he make the right decision?

In this letter:

• The #NairaLife of the Software Dev That Only Thinks in Dollars
• Game: #HowMuchLast
• Money Meanings: “Liability”

After five years in university and over $100k in fees, today’s subject on #NairaLife decided in his final year that he didn’t want to work in architecture again. Clearly, his parents weren’t happy. But maybe their minds are changed now that he’s making tech money.

An excerpt: “I didn’t want to look back at 30 and regret not going into tech. In my head, it was: worst case scenario, I end up with a really high-paying job; best case, I create a product that makes me a billionaire. Win-win”

I had an amazing weekend!

I was at Z! Fest. How was your weekend?

I like that we start Mondays with Naira Life. The stories give me the ginger to start the week with the right energy; today is no different. I mean, look at the story: she fractures her knee while pregnant, but doesn’t have enough to fix the knee or have her baby, so she has to beg.

After that, she swore she was done with being broke.

If it was you, wouldn’t you feel the same way?

In this letter:

• #NairaLife: She Had to Beg for Money. She Never Wants to Do That Again
• The Love Currency: Dating in Benin on a ₦400k income
• Money Meanings: “Stock”
• Game: #HowMuchLast
• Where The Money At?!

Today’s subject on #NairaLife is motivated to make money for one reason: to be as far away from 2016 as possible.

In 2016, she and her husband had to pick between borrowing to save her unborn child and her fractured knee because they couldn’t afford both.

Today, they have over $300k in savings.

How did they do it?

Openness in relationships is sweet to see. Take this couple for instance. They met just last year and today, they know how much is in the other person’s bank account at every time.

Would you do that in your relationship?

An excerpt: “She made sure I understood and accepted that she had nothing to bring to the relationship in terms of financial support. But she was also very clear that she had her father and siblings, so I shouldn’t think of her as my dependant.“

Happy Monday, {$name} 🙃

So apart from yourself, who do you spend most of your money on?

Nobody? You need to change.

In two of our stories today, our subjects talk about happily spending money on their loved ones and having zero regrets because that’s what makes them happy.

After the subject on #NairaLife’s dad tried to kill himself because of debts in 2019, he swore he’d make money to take care of his family.

And omo, he’s making money.

In this letter:

• The Heartwarming #NairaLife of a 23-Year-Old Breadwinner
• The Love Currency: A Long-distance relationship in Ibadan and Lagos on a ₦30k salary
• Money Meanings: “Black Tax”
• Game: #HowMuchLast
• Where The Money At?!

The 23-year-old software quality assurance engineer on this week’s #NairaLife makes over $5k monthly. His salary was ₦50k at the beginning of the year.

Of all the reasons he’s happy about his new income, being able to take care of his family comes first.

He doesn’t consider giving his parents ₦250k monthly black tax, though. In fact, he wants to do more.

Find out why he embraces black tax

My favourite part of this story is Feyi* playfully protesting that her boyfriend complains when she impulsively buys something for herself, but doesn’t when she gets him a spontaneous gift. Who no like better thing?

An excerpt: “I think the reason he doesn’t like me spending so much is because he doesn’t have plenty money himself. He’s still in university, and it’s me who normally sends him money.“
