Naira don fall again and my 2500 daily feeding budget don become 2000
3 months ago
I checked the rate this morning. One dollar is now 1,360 naira. Last week I was calculating my daily 2,500 naira feeding budget like it was a national budget. Now I don dey do arithmetic for buka. The woman wey dey sell rice don increase price by 200 naira. My garri supplier just look me and say 'my son, na so e be'.
I swear, this economy is not for the faint hearted. I have a friend who was planning to buy a PS5 with his savings. The same amount last month could buy him two PS5s. Now he's just staring at his account balance like it's a horror movie. Na wa for this country.
But honestly, this thing has forced me to learn something. I started tracking every single expense on my phone. I discovered I was spending 500 naira daily on pure water sachets and small chops. Now I carry my own bottle and buy garri in bulk. Small changes, but they add up. I no fit change the exchange rate, but I can change my spending habits.
