By the way ocha 20k ni doh poa sana.
Umeona hio post…kuna time nilikuwa na ka 2 yeae project somewhere…si i moved there…nikachapa 3 months…vile nikajuana na wasee i met a banker who had bought a shamba and built a permanent 3 bedroom house…power water the works a 2 door parking attached to the house sitting on 2 acres.
He tried renting it to villagers…ika kuwa lodgo…caretaker naye ameweka his kin and inlaws ni kuharibu keja…paint scrapped trees pruned for firewood charcoal drawings kwa painted walls bla bla bla…ushenzi mob.
Hata kuna youth man alikuwa ameweka gym chuma ya simiti kwa compound…the boma was a mess…wiremesh umekatwa…upuzi mob.
In short msee ali renovate compound na nyumba and he just told me take care of it…ishi free lipa utilities…thats all…sasa bill ya maji na stima 700bob a month milk 50 bob per litre ya ngombe groceries za 300bob itakushinda…boss i had mad fun.
Ku spend 20k a month was practicallg imposible.

Life ya ocha sijagongana nayo vizuri but huwa naitamani kiasi yake.

Address inabaki Uncle Sam, unaeza amua kubuy apartment za Ngara.

Then rent it or make it an airbnb, or live in it.

@Brayo44ki

With that sort of income one can be able to save north of 220,000 per month, split this into shares and gvt bond purchases and after 10 months you qualify a 22k dividend, keep the snowball rolling as far as you can.

Net imesemekana ni 210, 220 utatoa wapi

210-25= 185 mkubwa. I guess you can save 100k

210k net is peanuts in Runda, but more than enough in Kasarani.

It depends on if you rent or own. I wouldn’t consider a home owner bringing in 300k a “peasant” because he lives in Runda. In fact there are several making less than that figure who live there.

How do you become a homeowner in Runda on 300k a month? Impossible unless ni inheritance

There are one-hit wonders. Some people fell on a ka deal( tenderpreneur) on the job, the first thing they bought was a house in Runda, then the manna disappeared.

Stop arguing for the sake of arguing. Such people are few and far between.

Wako and quite a few. You people just make a lot of assumptions, based on what you hear. It’s like life on the other side of the mountain. It’s only nowadays those prices are exhorbitant. But in many parts of Runda, Kitisuru, Karen….you will find doctors and lawyers, living there.

…nt your children to be in the top international schools in Nairobi, annual school fees ranges from $US8000 - $US 10,000. Nairobi is expensive for everything! Taxi charge you 600 for 400 meters!!!
What are your thoughts?

Kwani hii in Nairobi gani watu wanaishi? Mimi kuna time nilisurvive quite comfortably on a 15k salary supporting some extended family members(5) wenye walikuwa college na kutarmac.

Mkuu hapa umetuchocha 15k hakuna kitu unaeza fanya nayo hiyo ni ya bachelors banae
