With the current situation in Kenya Pray Pray Pray Pray Pray your 3 best options for a good salo would constitute the following:

1. Apply for a government post in lucrative ministries ie lands, energy, irrigation, Devolution etc…despite the job group as u know the govt has very good sponsorship programs for advancement….not to mention that the kickbacks + facilitation fees, per diems you will make will add up to a very “ GOOD SALARY”….hapa ndipo pesa ya BURE IKO!Drool Drool Drool Drool

2. Go the jua kali way as by the time 2-3 years are gone u will have made you mistakes learnt the ropes not to mention the ample time you will have to try so many other ventures and to grab opportunities when they crop up…not to mention that you can apply for the some tax exemption categories that apply for this sector…woii wacha tu!....I mean I know of a mama who got into the mafuta business supplying the mutindwa residents from her buruburu abode..i mean after hawking mafuta from 8am to about 3pm the mama would have a kaloose change of about 50-100k depending on day of the week..now she is a proud runda resident who employed hubby as the MD after only 2 years of hawking mafuta ya stovu!!Applause Not talking Not talking Add this storo to aguy who is a VVIP to KRA as one of the biggest taxpayers after he decided to weld peoples gates for a living only to have a biz 2o years later that transacts about 3M daily in sales selling sweeping brooms,screws to cement!..such stories make me wonder where my old man n lady were when such decisions were made by their agemates!!Brick wall Brick wall Brick wall Brick wall
3. Become a toyboy aka gigolo for an expense free life courtsy of mulad mamas of top bizmen/politicians/tenderpreneurs etc…I mean all u have to do is hit the gym 2 hrs for 6 days/week..the vigour those chumas will give u Swenani haweskimake….i mean with a grooming allowance, car of choice shopping at CMC,DT Dobie n such names, monthly allowance, upkeep fee, club membership oh my why not..and all for keeping the youthful health!!!Sickquot; :d/ :d/ :d/ :d/

Those are the only means as for the lie od digriis in Kenya its such a lie that when you discover it I donno how many MBA’s later man you youth is gone and all there is the middle-age bitterness so common in our cities its pitiful!As for majuu mimi hiyo siyui after some fala brond at the US embassy asked me a dumbsit Q afew years back when I tried to apply for a student visa ave neva gone back since not to mention I have been everywhere else!!!

So youngman be dually advised!Shhh Shhh Shhh Shhh


ebu link me,I can go to the gym once linked up


@ Swenani u r already linked up...si u r voting for Martha so kuna vile u r on the right track...just hit the gym my brotha!!!


Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly

That will be a conflict of interests,I do not like mixing pleasure with Biz and vice versa

I'm a professional


Applause Applause Applause Applause Applause ..brav o my brotha u ave just confirmed the thinness of that line called biashara....hiyo huwa tamu sana coz u can multitask na hakuna positioning unasema mabo yalivyo!!!!! hit the gym Swenani uwache maneno mingi!

You live according to your means. I was able to save and buy land on a 36K salo per month when I was starting out. Even as my salo improved with my career my saving improved and the projects increased in size but my living expenses also followed suite.
The best approach is keep living expenses to a minimum and save actively and I would also say aggressively.

Your boss could be corrupt or a member of a procurement cartel.

I think any bachelor/spinster earning a net of 300k is earning a good salary. A family with one child having a net of 500k are doing exemplary well...in fact, I think with such figures, they are in the top 5% of the population. That is just my layman opinion. I know wazuans are generally rich so dont crucify me for my thoughts.

No crucification: Instead of trying to determine an overall net income, maybe you should determine net income based on where you want to live. Do you want to live in Karen, Westlands, Ngong road etc. Some places are expensive than other places. But $3K/month is a reasonable income even for single expatriates and $5K for a family. You would certainly be in top 5%.

Based on the inflation rate and the cost of living,a good income will be kshs 1 million and above per month.
