THE SALARY IS NOT ENOUGH: HOW ARE YOU SURVIVING BEYOND YOUR 9–5?

For many Nigerians, having a 9–5 job doesn't necessarily mean having financial peace.

You receive your salary, settle rent, pay bills, buy food, handle transport and take care of other responsibilities. Before the month even gets halfway, your account balance is already reminding you that another payday is still far away. This is why many workers are looking for additional sources of income.

Some run small businesses after work, others learn digital skills, take freelance jobs, create content or invest in something that can bring extra money. But balancing a full-time job with another hustle isn't always easy. It takes time, discipline and energy.

Still, the desire to earn more and build something beyond a monthly salary keeps many people going.

Let's hear from you: If your salary stopped today, what other source of income would help you stay financially afloat?

Whether it's a business, a skill, freelancing or another side hustle, share what works for you. Your experience might inspire someone.
