Woman Says She Lived Better When She Earned Less in 2021 As She Laments Over Economic Hardship

A female X user has lamented about the worsening hardship in the nation, stating that she enjoyed a better lifestyle when she earned a salary of N350K in 2021.

She added that now, in 2024, she earns way more but cannot afford the things she enjoyed when she earned less.

She said she used to buy whatever she wanted, travelled by air, and lived the good life when she earned less. But now, her higher income cannot afford her that lifestyle.

She wrote on X: "In 2021, I was earning steady 350k aside small small jobs. I lived better, I was happier. I go to supermarket, I shopped real good. I bought all the exotic things I see. My house was a stop of uneaten stuff. I flew anyhow. I was living a good babe' life in my own level.

"2024, I earn way more. Still can't pack seedless grapes, endless plums, exotic supermarket stuffs. I'm so unhappy that the money is coming & I still don't know where it is going to coz I do not eat half those shit anymore. I just stick to basic food. & someone is wishing $1/₦2k.

"I was shopping clothes, shoes, bags every month..IG prices o. I was doing Red Tag.
Fast forward 2024, I earn way more but I live like a thrifter. Can't remember when last I ordered anything from IG. Light bill doubled 300%. But I swear to God, I earn way more."
