Topic: No need to change job due to low salary, just add another source. (Read 493 times)

The advice you’re giving is a good one. But then you have to consider those who’s job is really hard. I mean a getting a job that pays you 90k in this country without certificate. Man you’ll have to work your ass out. And what comes with jobs like this is, not having time for personal stuff, and your mind will never be open to opportunities around you that will interest you to invest. And even though you find one and want to invest, the money won’t even be enough for it after removing money for all the expenses for the month ahead. So sometimes when one seeks for a better job. It’s as a result of the situation around then.
This doesn’t mean there aren’t people that will grab your advice and it works for them. I’m only trying to tell you that when you look at a situation from this angle. Try lookin a it from another angle

Your man need to understand say, a bird at hand better pass the plenty wey dey for bush, the current salary fit no dey enough no be good reason to leave wetin you dey sure of dey look for wetin u fit no get atall, mke him look b4 him leap, to avoid had I known

Yes you are right because if you are occupied with the activity at office or with current job there would be no space to add additional jobs except the current one is less free, but work like remote jobs such as online trading, freelancing or content creation.
Most jobs in our country does not pay hourly otherwise, hourly pay jobs are more preferable to enable one earn from multiple places.

I think it's also good for someone to upgrade themselves in their field of competence and look out for greener pastures elsewhere. Truth is that there's better places, but the issue is that most times we are not prepared to fit into the better places. Having three different hustles that demands your attention constantly would never pave way for specialized knowledge to take place since you're always distracted by the multiple hustles you've to attend to constantly and hardly ever focus properly on one and build advanced experience in it for experience. It's still very much okay if the multiple sources of income are so related or in the same field of expertise.

It's always better to identify an area of specialization, build on it until you become very successful in it to access mouth watering opportunities surrounding it.

How can you suggest Bitcoin to a man that's having financial issues? How do you expect him to get the funds to invest if he's finding it difficult to satisfy his daily needs, and has not even built his emergency fund, not to speak of having discretionary income to invest into Bitcoin.

He also can't be a trader since he lacks the capital to engage.

Also can he go in for a long term investment in Bitcoin at his present condition? I guess not, so Bitcoin is a very wrong advise you gave to him.

It's okay to hustle more in the same related field, rather than unnecessary diversification, unless you can setup the diversified hustle in such a way that it's functioning independent of you, else the distractions would be much and your concentration reduced. Having three different sources of income on the same field of expertise is very fine, but having three different unrelated hustles you attend to can give you money, but it's very limiting to me.

You try as you share this with us so that everyone go learn something from here, most people always beleive that having a job that pays a decent salary is the most ideal they forget that there is a possibility in the best thing. You do well as you advise am say make him find another job instead wey him go just quit that one for another one, if he even get another job wey go pay higher difference no go even dey much between the two but if he add the two as part of his hustle na big win e go be for am.

The country don spoil finish and the rate of inflation sef don de kill us even before our time and na true you talk, if person get multiple source of income e go really make things more easy. Again to get job for this country no be small thing so to have two jobs at hand might be difficult except if person sabi hand work you con de use am support your work or if you gather money then establish a business or invest in bitcoin as you suggested.

To add another job depends on many factors and some of those factors may include;
* The stress level of ones current job,
* the availability of jobs,
* the specifics of the kind of job you prefer, else, one may find it difficult to function effectively with even just a job in hand.

For a single person, having one  job with #90,000 pay might be enough. But for those supporting family, money is never enough. You have to think about food, childcare, healthcare, and more.

Having an extra job can help, but don't forget about your health. Most jobs in Nigeria are stressful, whether online or offline. Sadly, many don't pay well either. We Nigerians often work too hard and neglect our health.

Let's be real, overworking can kill. Having multiple stressful jobs is risky. Prioritize your health and find balance. Remember, life is more important than money. Don't overwork yourself to the point of burnout.

I'm not saying don't get an extra job, but if you can't handle it, focus on finding a better-paying main job. Nigeria's economy is tough, and fair compensation is scarce. Even ₦90,000 may not be enough for some roles.

If you can handle an extra job, fine. But don't overdo it. Invest in yourself, seek financial freedom, and find a job that pays well and lets you live comfortably. Your friend needs to know what he's getting into with multiple Nigerian jobs

To truly thrive, strive for financial stability. This means having enough for your needs, saving for the future, and enjoying some comforts. Aim for a job that values your skills and well-being.

In the end, life's value surpasses any amount of money. Avoid overworking, depression, mental stress, and family pressures because they will come. Instead, cultivate peace of mind, good health, and a balanced lifestyle.

The reality is that, in today's world, relying on just one job, especially when inflation keeps rising and salaries don’t always match the cost of living, can make it difficult to meet financial goals. Many of my friends, besides having a full-time job, are searching for something part-time to cover the expenses that never seem to end. Platforms like Indeed, Linkedin, and https://pro.aroundwire.com/ are lifelines providing a solution by offering individuals the ability to earn extra income through flexible side gigs.

Na true you talk OP and if person look for another source of income take add to the one wey him dey do, na him go better pass. Work don hard now, make you no talk say you dey look for bigger work and when you come get am, e no go come tey dem come sack you or reduce workers due to inflation, you go just go back to square one again o. E go better make you dey manage the small one wey you get now while you go look for other means to support am. Even me no want make my source of income reduce but make e dey increase with guarantee say the work go last forever. Many jobs dey wey you fit dey do make e no affect your normal physical work and all those works na online you go find them so that e no go affect your normal daily job wey the income dey intact dey come monthly or daily.

Sometimes when we are saying somethings we should also tell ourselves the truth, we are all Nigerians and we know the reality of this country. That job paying that guy 90k monthly is actually job that's taking his time from 8:00 a.m till possibly 4:30 or 5:00 pm. There is nothing bad if he search for another job that will pay him well provided he is not leaving his present job till he gets another one. Even in foreign countries people do leave their old jobs and search for new ones. Starting up a new business with a salary of 90k and his family to feed come on it's practically unattainable. If he sees a better job let him go. Still in this country there are jobs paying up to 200k and above so if he see opportunity let him apply you never can tell he might be lucky. But my advice for him is not to leave his current job until he secures another one.

To get another source of income join with the one you get now go really help you no be lie but the tin depends on the kind of work wey you dey do, e get people wey d kain work wey dem dey do no b d type wey you go fit do am togeda with anoda work so dem dey find am difficult to do anoda work Join d wan wey dem dey do so e no go really blame dem if dem wan leave dia work go find anoda wey dey lay wellso dat dem go fit dey meet up with dia needs.but d truth b say if dem add Bitcoin to dia hustle dem Sha fit run am na just to create time or better still start up biz by dia sef so dat dem fit dey control dia tym by dia sef.

Me I like to dey business and entrepreneur minded pass to dey go find work because plenty work out dia no go give u time for ursef but when e be say na u b ur own oga no body fit control ur time you go always get dat extra time to dey do other things for ursef.

After finished of education everyone start of job or anybody start of business of own. Both are so challenging in the life. Maybe job is the most challenging again if the salary less than your own demand. In this stage couldn't manage another job.

Best solution is searching of another job or a alternative income source. Such as me!

Freelancing or consulting is the best for alongside job. Beside can be  part-time Job, remote work, gig economy, passive income, flexible shifts, seasonal work etc as you wish.

Believe me if your friends job could allow him add another one he wouldn’t be talking about quitting in the first place, Probably this current job is very time consuming which is why his thinking of quitting and taking another job.
Please don’t forget to advice your friend not to quite until he has secured the new job and also tell him to consider a job that will enable him apply for other jobs to add to the new one cause as we all know how difficult it is for a family man to survive this current inflation wrecking us.
Good you also told him about Bitcoin also tell him all about DCA so when his gotten the double income he can begin investing for more rainy days ahead and financing stability.

This issue of small salary their is many of people's that are complain about it, at least his own much them others people's own since his own is almost about 90k some people's is not even hope to that, and na so their struggle manage it with their families lik that, this country now just they as he be and the leaders don't want consider Us and increase the salary of workers. I only been hard everyday that they're going to increase the minimum wage, and up to now we don't see sign that show wether they will work that or not. That's why I don't blame those that are civil servants and they still another success of income, this life is to double the hustle what ever a person is doing, because nothing last forever nobody knows what will happen in his working place.
Actually this your advice need to be considered for those that defference hustle is good for them to hold their hustles well, because government job is on reliable you can be sak at any time them wish. It will be good if that your friend will be removing some percentage from, his salary that introduce it into another business, if not the way the country is moving currently now it will not fevor us, Because the low the salaries and the food stuff is increasing every bless day.

As the country hard, make we fund better job way the pay big so that man no go dey hungry through our the rest days before the month go go through, some of us dey work for place when be say na we dey change the company instead of the company to change us also.
This one also show say many of us dey find way to comot for were we dey work but as we never find another one make we dey, instead of to dey ideal dey find another job we rather keep working and putting our eyes other places to check for jobs.
Man we dey change company when the company no dey also change am dey grow old early, so if your job no dey better or add any meaningful things to you just comot. Some work just dey like parasite wey dey gain from you with your hard works and you no dey also gain from them.

We all know that with the current predicament and high rate of inflation in this country 90k for a family man is not an easy task to use and manage the family regarding to his family size. What you actually told him to engage in other side hustle to boost his earnings is actually right because this country job is not common it's better to add up other hustling to the one you have already and set up you wife also to contribute than leaving the job for another one which is not guarantee, unless you have another job in place already even at that if you can add up something meaningful that you will be earning double it very much okay . Your idea of introducing bitcoin to him is nice one but he should be enlightened concerning bitcoin investment that it's an investment that requires patience and time.

Op I think suggesting bitcoin investment is not the right thing to tell your friend now because bitcoin is a long-term investment before you will see a good profit, and the way your friend is sounding, he does not have the patience to hold bitcoin for like 4-5 years. If you make your friend invest in bitcoin, you will give him the impression of hating bitcoin because he will not be able to make money from his bitcoin investment in the short term, and if the bitcoin price drops, he will be angry because that was not what he was expecting from his bitcoin investment and will be forced to sell his bitcoin even when he is at a loss. You should know the best time to introduce bitcoin to someone so that they will see it as something good to adopt.

You can't be so certain that his 90K per month earning is fair enough for him when you don't know the responsibilities surrounding him, and so I guess you don't know his dream to life pertaining what he is chasing after of in his lifetime. However, there is absolutely no amount fair enough for a man in this country Nigeria.
Remember that Bitcoin is not a monthly earning as salaries, so, before anyone rides on Investing in n Bitcoin then the individual must have been engaged with a stable reliable source of income else the probability to meet up the hodling and patient in Bitcoin would be challenging to the individual.
But yet, diversification of financial sources is exemptional if we must breakout of our financial captivities.

This kind thing no be something wey person supposed come dey reason now because na matter wey everyone know and if care is not taken the country no fit even spoil pass like this so the only good thing wey you fit do to help yourself na to just find way add another hustle to the one wey dey ground and as it stands now sef, the pay rate of jobs for the country no fit keep you alive because the money sef no get any value whatsoever so better give yourself more task than to wait and complain.

Omo for this awe country things hard no be small. 90k as salary no be small money now but as e be like this no be for family people oo no be for man wen get like 4 children get wife still dey rent house come reason school fees na even though say na government school anyhow one or two fees must come on board.
Bro as it stands now no family person fit get Patience for any site wey wan pay am for like 6 to 7 months of work oo
Bitcoin work na for family people wen dey ok and for young single person's for my view, I no mean say this hand to mouth family people no fit do am oo but you self know how our country people dey calculate, at least ur friend Dom tell u wetin dey on board for him side make u for know  say no matter wetin u earn as a salary worker waiting for monthly payment e dey very hard for u and e dey restrict u  from many things this our time na hand work dey pay so u wey Neva make am wey still dey single make u for find hand work oo.
At least even as a family man u dey come house every day with 4 to 5k e go go a long way reason am.
