Can you survive on a ₦49k/month salary?

And what if you only get paid once in three months? [View in browser](=.b9SKT_sbnOK-QcSK9_dTTQai-j-od8E-4kqlHdg6xnQ) [Zikoko Daily] 17 July, 2023 Hey . In case you haven’t gotten the gist, I wrote my first #NairaLife episode today. ✨ Our subject is a missionary who’s literally trusting God to provide for his needs. I love his faith, but I’m still shocked that he left a ₦150k/month job for ₦5k/month back in 2015. Now, he’s earning ₦49k, and he’s as confident as ever.

Secondly, because I bloody can. Who gon check me? 🌚] So, your first #NairaLife! Yaay. TBH, I’m not sure why I was nervous at first because it’s what I’ve always done: sniff out an interesting story and disturb convince the subject to talk to me. It’s different, however, because with Naira Life, I’m trying to get them to talk about money, which I’ve noticed some people aren’t comfortable with. How did this story happen? I wanted to tell a different story from the professions and financial lifestyles we typically see. I know quite a number of missionaries, so I just disturbed begged one to let me tell his story. I’m glad I did because even I didn’t know just how much he’s sacrificed (and continues to) in order to do what he does.
