The 24-year-old social media manager in this #NairaLife is living well above her means, thanks to "pretty privilege".

The 25-year-old product designer in this #NairaLife has done almost every job in tech: website design, digital marketing, social media management, etc. He has also freelanced, been unemployed and even co-founded a startup before finally landing a stable product design job.

For the 32-year-old partnership manager in this #Nairalife, the key to financial growth isn’t saving but making oneself a channel through which money flows. He’s grown his earnings by almost 3000% in a decade, and now, he wants $5m/month.

The 28-year-old subject of this #NairaLife has done just as much to make money as he has to spend it. His biggest impulse expense? Spending ₦1m on a woman within one week. Now, he’s staying indoors in a bid to better manage his finances and looking for ways to sort out his soon-to-expire rent.

The 31-year-old subject of this #NairaLife tried a few things for money before realising freelance writing paid him more than his colleague’s bank jobs.
