@IT'd - You should read, "How to get Rich - By Gerishon Kirima". Too bad it hasn't been published yet. As many people are telling you, don't let your earning power dictate how much you spend - especially recurrent expenditure. Higher earnings should be used to achieve your financial goals faster.

I have a friend who works for the UN. I doubt any of his workmates live in the estate [Middle income] he lives in. But guess what. He is now a landlord - he owns a flat - three floors in addition to the house he lives in. He has numerous plots & other investments. His friends? Some have resulted to "hook up" with elderly expatriates to maintain their lifestyles!!! Who would you wanna be?

It's very difficult to down grade your lifestyle. Choose a simple [but comfortable] lifestyle now and fast track your investments. You can always upgrade if and when you want. My two Zim cents.

jangwa has hit the head on the nail...let your financial goals dictate where you will live.
An exception maybe, but remember there are many rich people living in majengo, kawangware,etc slums merely because they were brought up there all their lives.

It all depends on your goals in life. I remember a work colleague declining a drink offer from me because I lived in Eastlands (he lives in South C in own house). Last August, he visited my home in Nairobi and was lost for words; no comparison at all with his digs in South C. In life I personally opt for a lifestyle I can sustain. Why should I start off in an SQ in Buru and end up in Kayole? I would rather start in reverse and end up in some upmarket estate. Life is purely what you make it to be. With 100k, I will just head East, not west.
