Many people think ₦50k is too small to save from, but with the right habits, it’s possible. Here are 5 practical tips:
1. Budget before you spend
Write down your fixed expenses (rent, transport, feeding). Whatever remains is what you can work with.
2. Cut avoidable expenses
Eating out, unnecessary subscriptions, or impulse buying can swallow your money faster than you think.
3. Save first, not last
Decide on an amount (even ₦5k) and put it aside once you get paid. If you wait till month-end, nothing will be left.
4. Use the 50/30/20 rule (adjusted)
50% for needs (rent, food, transport)
30% for wants (data, small enjoyment)
20% for savings/investment
Even if you can’t do 20%, start with 10%.
5. Look for small side income
A ₦50k salary is tight. Find something small you can do online or offline to add extra cash flow.

👉 The truth is: Saving on ₦50k isn’t easy, but consistency and discipline can make a big difference over time.
