I don’t know how this will sound, but if you can avoid spending over ₦1m on rent, please do. Find a developing area and get a decent self contain or, at most, a room and parlour within ₦500k. You don’t have to prove anything by living in an expensive area. And if you have a peaceful home and a family that can accommodate you, honestly, go back home for a while. Save aggressively, build your career, invest your money and become financially stronger. There’s no shame in living with your parents while you’re building yourself. What matters is what you’re doing with the money you’re saving. Don’t let rent consume a huge part of your income just because you want to maintain a certain lifestyle. Build first. Flex later. 😂
