I have a wild suggestion. How can we remove PAYE from that list....it is the biggest expenses / deduction.

Yes salaries are low in Kenya. There's only one way to get get ahead as I was telling my cuzo recently. Instead of renting that 15 or 17k flat in Kasarani, umo, etc....why not use that money to rent a house that has some land on it...even if it's an 1/8th or a quarter acre. You live in the house and use the land to do any number of side hustles to generate cash.

You can keep chicken and supply eggs, keep goats and sell goat-milk which goes for 200/- a liter and the demand is crazy high. You can raise pigs or raise trained guard-dogs for resale. Or put up a greenhouse. There's tons of opportunities to make money when u have the land. And that's un-taxed cash. You keep working on that side hustle and pretty soon, you're making more money from it that your salaried job.

And why live like this in Nairobi and suburbs, Surely. Come join us in the county and do all that in acres & acres of land.

You can avoid it by paying into a Pension Scheme. Sadly it will not give you access to the funds immediately but at least you can be sure at the end of time you will have access to these funds. Instead of it going to Corrupt hands or wasteful projects via the Government.

The maths here is off.

2packets of Milk & 1 Bread is 200 box max * 15 days = 3k assuming you don't maliza a loaf daily, = 1.5k Saved

Why are you renting a 2 Bed? Why the expense of a second room? Assuming you have a flatmate or are subletting that cost is cut. = 5k Saved (assuming 1bed is 12k or even more savings if 2nd bed is paid for)

On a personal note, if times are rough and you don't give Sadaka, not sure Yesu will be annoyed not like he needs it anyway, remember god helps those who help themselves, first help yourself for a few years, later when in a more favourable position get back to it. = 1 k saved

You buy food at work 25 days but surely not travel all 30 days as shown below, 5 days of travel saved (200x5) = 1 k saved

So there you have 8k saved.

Is that a wild suggestion?
