I've said it before and I'll say it again - if you live in Nairobi don't earn a 7 figure salary or business income (or higher) per month, then you have no business being in Nairobi. That place is unbearable for the broke and the faint hearted. Gather courage. Move out. You might be surprised that the schooling or business you are doing might thrive even more in Meru, Malindi, Kitale or Kisii. Some Kenyans are just obsessed with living in a big city & indicating on their FB info bar 'lives in Nairobi, yet their quality of life is way worse than a shopkeeper's in kakamega or a restaurant owner in Machakos. Even for those working in parastatals & corporate organizations, ask for a transfer to another town & you'll be surprised at how much you'll enjoy life - peace, quiet, quality sleep for whatever number of hours you want, spending quality time with your family every morning & evening. . The list is endless. Personally, moving out of Nairobi is one the best decisions I've made in my life. Let's stop this obsession of living in a big city (where 61% of the population live in slums & informal settlements) and rural to urban migration. Life is not about how much you earn or how many skyscrapers you count (none of which you own) while in traffic on your way to work, it's about spiritual peace, good health, fresh air, quality time with loved ones, watching flowers bloom, enjoying the sunset etc. Think.
