Everything in the United Kingdom costs money, from your sleeping space to your Wi-Fi. You may earn in pounds, but those pounds vanish quickly when rent, council tax, and electricity costs start calling your name. Many Nigerians make the mistake of converting their salary to Naira and then feeling rich. However, the expense of living here is designed to humiliate even the highest earners if they do not plan carefully.
Accommodation is where the blow hits the hardest. Whether you’re single or have a family, rent takes up a significant portion of your income (sometimes 40-50%). Don’t forget about council tax, which feels like rent’s obstinate twin. Add in travel, groceries, mobile costs and heating (especially during the winter) and you’ll see why budgeting isn’t an option here; it’s compulsory.
It’s tempting to believe that everyone on Instagram is living the high life. But don’t be deceived by the packaging. Many people are drowning under the weight of an unaffordable “soft life”. The difference between those who prosper and those who struggle is not income, but financial discipline. You can make £3,000 per month and still be broke if you don’t understand the game. And in this country, falling behind means a long climb back.

Do not be surprised by the cost of living. Make plans before the bills start rolling in. Understand your fixed costs, save for emergencies, and live within your means. There is no shame in starting small. The UK may be expensive, but it gives you tools to manage your money, if you’re willing to use them. Track your spending, and don’t spend what you haven’t earned.
