"Take that tithe money and add it to your savings, thank me later."

remotejobbay stressed:

"Are you a diploma holder? Because this salary is very low for a degree teacher teaching in a government school. Most teachers that I know earn way more than this."

"Imagining 2 teachers get married, each taking Ghc 2500, with children. You’ll be living life in hell. Aswear!!"

EDEM'S SIPHUB added:

"So the little advice I learnt from my cousin, who also learnt from his dad, is let's say 100 cedis is your salary. Save 10cedis and then share the rest. Make your feeding, your lifestyle, maybe transportation and everything, make that one more because if you save more, let's say you save 50 cedis and then you are left with 50 cities, you will run out of feeding money, that is food and other things, and you would be tempted to go for the savings money. But if you save less, let's say you save 10 cedis out of the 100 cedis, you w… see all."
