Moneyby91��Ƭ��վ: How Do You Build a $250k Net Worth?

Volume 138

Good morning 🌞

My favourite type of Naira Life stories has one constant theme: the subject breaks down their money moves in clear, actionable detail. This week’s Naira Life follows the same pattern.

The subject has built a $250K net worth, but that’s not even the most interesting part. For me, it’s the crash course in angel investing. An angel investor puts money in early-stage businesses in exchange for equity. It’s an interesting concept, but also a very risky one. So, how’s he navigating that and his other investments?

Let’s jump in. Also, happy salary week.

Ask Aunty M with Reni

Hi Reni. I just started earning way better than I did, not very much but it’s good (₦270k). I stay in Benin, I don’t make a lot of expenses except food and clearing debts which hopefully I’ll finish this month. It’s almost year end, and I need to start saving/investing and I plan to invest a huge chunk of it. But the thing is, I want to invest for the short term because of my rent due at the start of 2025. Plus, I’ll be moving to Lagos soon. I don’t know how to go about such deals. Most times investments are long term, which isn’t a priority right now. But I also don’t want to let my money sit idle in naira. What do you advise? – Hadassah, 26

Hi Hadassah, congratulations on earning more! It’s a great start. Thankfully your expenses are low so now you can put a large portion of your income towards debt and become debt free. This will free up a lot of your income towards your short and long term goals.

You need to get clear on your goals. Rent is a short term goal that you need to achieve – how much is rent going to be and how much do you currently have? Put away a set amount of money in a US domiciled savings account until you reach your goal. I would suggest that you focus on saving for the short term rather than investing for the short term. You can put it in a high interest account.

More importantly, your expenses will rise when you move from Benin to Lagos. Account for this and don’t choose your rental home based on what you can currently afford, base it on what your overall expenses will look like when you’ve moved to a higher cost of living city.

I hope this helps.
