Guys, I could really use your advice. It wasn’t easy growing up with a single mother. We were four living in a very small room—no bed as of then—with a public toilet. Two years ago, I got my place. It was a small place, still no bed, and we shared a public toilet with two others. I don’t let people visit me because I’m ashamed of where I stay, lol. I didn’t have enough then, but now I’ve started making money. However, this money comes in once in a while. I want to get a nice place. Whenever I visit someone and see how good their apartment is—especially those ones painted white, with POP and AC in it—I’ve been fantasizing about having that. Well, I’ve made millions now and can afford it, but I’m really scared. Houses now in Lagos are way too expensive. I was budgeting N250k before, but people laughed and said I won’t see anything for that amount.
I increased it to N700k, but the houses I’m seeing for that amount are not my taste at all. I don’t mind even if it’s a small self-contained apartment as long as it’s clean and has a nice kitchen. But what I’m seeing for that is from N1m. Not that I can’t afford it, but I’m scared—what if I can’t sustain it? Like I said, this money comes in like once in a blue moon, but I’ve saved more than N10m. I’ve tried to learn tech, but they were teaching nonsense. I wasted money trying to learn things because I didn’t have the privilege to while growing up. But most of these men—after paying them—they will now start proposing love because I have a good shape. I know it’s just lustfulness, so I end up not learning again before they har@ss me one day. It’s not the first, second, or third time it’s happening. Well, I just need y’all’s advice on this.
Should I proceed with getting my dream apartment, which will cost me over N1m yearly? If yes, then is there anything I can do that can bring in money? Or should I go for the pako house for N500k to N700k? Like I said, houses in Lagos are now mad expensive. The places l’m seeing for N500k, sef, I’d rather stay in this one room o, because it’s better. People who are house hunting as of recent will understand shə.
