Nowadays, with the inflation and all, I guess 500k is the new "good" salary according to me, for a bachelor. If married, 800k will do.


500k for a single guy?

Steve Mbogo pays 450k a month in rent. I think to be a rich bachelor in Kenya you should have a net (all income) of 500k to sit at the table of men. This means that I am literally near bankruptcy if that is the caseSad Sad Sad Sad

Ati 500k? Remember that thread of how many Kenyans earn 100+k, if you add the employed and self employed plus juakali guys they are not that many tuseme like 50k people, how many of the 50k do you think are single guys?

so what about those of us who earn 70k? do we qualify as being termed as "upper class" poor?

But the salaries being talked about here are so exaggerated! Equity bank branch managers earn abt 140k net per month!! so Sijui hizi salary za 400k ni firms gani hulipa.

what about earning 500k n u are not at peace with your wife as opposed to earning 70k n u are so much at peace with the universe?

At 500k a month, I will be at peace with ISISLaughing out loudly Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly ...on a serious note though, the money is in the private sector, not salaries. You dont expect to work for someone and get paid that much...at least not easily

Reading from the script, i think its only better working for yourself. Hustlers. And why is there lots of money in hustling? coz few pay taxes.No wonder there will always be car jackers and other crooks, how is one expected to survive in Kenya with 30K salary?

Anything less than one million per month for a family man is poverty wages. You will never live well and get ahead if that trajectory is maintained. Employment from youth to retirement in Kenya is a slow death. Entrepreneurship is the way to go. Salary should be saved aggressively to be used as capital for business. Another way to make quick money is through immigration to Europe or USA. Those dirty jobs or nursing jobs pay well. Alafu rudi Kenya, nunua plots. That's the way out of poverty.
