How Much Would You And Your Spouse Or Partner Need To Earn Monthly To Feel Financially Comfortable As A Couple?

Well said, Firestarter. 💯💯

And me, I’m aiming with premium peppered focus 🌶️💯

Lmaooo suya is my love language, abeg 😩🔥 I can't lie.

And yes oh, 1M sounds wild in today’s job market, especially with how companies are paying people peanuts and still expecting blood, sweat, and KPIs 😒.

But that’s the thing. We’re allowed to aspire. Whether it’s a remote gig, tech role, oil & gas, or pure entrepreneurial hustle, the dream is to hit that figure and breathe without choking on financial anxiety 😂.

Comfort isn’t always what’s currently available , it’s what we aim for...

Loool. You mentioned suya twice already.

So you said 1m. 😄😄😄.

There's not many jobs that will pay you that even after working for years, except it's a multinational, or a remote foreign currency job, oil and gas, maybe investment banking etc..

It's really crazy what the job market in Nigeria is ATM

It’s not about throwing cash around or living large like we’re in a Nollywood movie. It’s about having enough so rent doesn’t feel like an emotional burden and we don’t have to schedule power usage around when the generator guy is free. It means eating well; not just surviving on yam and stew but actually enjoying meals that don’t feel like a repeat from the last decade. It’s about the little things, like treating ourselves to a weekend escape or a spontaneous order of suya without thinkingtwice

In my opinion, each of us needs to be earning at least 1,000,000 naira a month. You might think that’s a lot, but consider this: with the cost of living in Nigeria today, 1,000,000 naira is actually a solid, realistic benchmark. From paying rent, to bills, to satisfying suya cravings without breaking a sweat — that figure gives us peace of mind.

And I know some will say, “Why not just buy a property?”

If e easy, go take your teeth buy am 🙄
