I mean ni kama ni yeye unafanyia kazi...anyway, perhaps you need to rethink your expenses column A successful man is not he who gets the best, it is he who makes the best from what he gets.

I'm sure you've heard them before. “If you will live like no one else, later you can live like no one else.” “We buy things we don't need with money we don't have to impress people we don't like.” The money you pay to your landlord is gone with the wind, why give him more? I'm sure that rent:income ratio was invented by a landlord. BBI will solve it :)

Financial advisors will tell you that, no single expense should be over 30% of your cross income. Mine is 11%

Unless you have 10 children all below 20 years:)...and one unborn Who told you I spend 25% Look at your question. I just answered the max percentage(of course hakuna minimum)

I just answered the max percentage(of course hakuna minimum) If one is earning 100k it is ok to pay 25% as rent i.e 25k for eg a 3bdrm apartment hapo Nyayo Embakasi. If you earn 250k, then a 60k apartment hapo kileleshwa is ok. At 1m per month, paying 250k in runda ni sawa. That said, I believe there are many people who pay above 25% as rent.
