I Moved Out at 31 and Paid ₦200,000 for One Month in Ajah—Now I’m in Debt

I Moved Out at 31 and Paid ₦200,000 for One Month in Ajah—Now I’m in Debt — 1 of 2
1 / 2

At 31, I finally moved out of my parents’ house, but the cost of living alone has hit me hard. As a musician, I struggled to find an apartment that suited my public image and was still within my budget. I started selling my clothing brand on the streets around Ijebu Ode Stadium to raise some income and keep hope alive. I later moved to Ajah to pursue better opportunities. I paid ₦200,000 for one month in a furnished serviced apartment, but I am now in debt. I am trusting God to help me get through this period.

What part of the move hurt your finances most: the rent itself, upfront apartment costs, or trying to maintain a certain public image?

Was the debt mainly from the monthly rent, or did other moving expenses add up quickly?

Moving out can feel like freedom until every bill arrives separately. The gap between rent expectations and creative income sounds especially tough.

Wanting an apartment that matches your image is understandable, but debt is a warning that the image may need to wait for stability.

List every monthly cost, pause nonessential spending, and separate clothing-brand money from personal expenses. A cheaper setup could buy breathing room while sales grow.
