UK-based Nigerian doctor shows payslip
Identified on TikTok as @drchi.skin, the Nigerian doctor gave a breakdown of how she budgeted her monthly salary.
From the payslip shown, her take-home for each month was 3585 after deductions.
She captioned the post:
“Let’s budget my £3.5/month after tax as a doctor trying to build wealth.I can pass medical exams, save lives, but I didn’t learn how to make my money work for until last year. Here’s how I’m turning my £3.5k/month into freedom, not just comfort! What’s one financial habit you wish you learned earlier?”
According to her breakdown, Rent and bills: £550, petrol: £77, gym: £160, food: £160, stock and shares: £11.
Speaking about her rent, she added in the comments:
"I’m doing F2 in a seaside town, I have like 4 flatmates so it’s a HMO because I’m only there for 5 more months."
In an earlier video, she stated that her yearly salary without tax deductions was £60,000.

"I worked in finance in Canary wharf for two years with every major bank. 9am to 7-10pm every day. my juniors would sometimes work on and call me on evenings weekends (I was team lead). We don't get paid overtime. When clients need a documebt to close a deal they need it asap with no mistakes. All that for 37k. Saving lives is tough no doubt but surely it's rewarding. I can't definitively say which is harder since I haven't been in your shoes. But staring at a screen most of my waking hours with my eyes burning reading through financial documents doing a soulless job to make the rich richer is crushing. I'm 80% sure I would rather be in your shoes. my friend works in the NHS and even tho he's tired he loves his job and wouldn't change it (35k) knowing he's making a difference."
