From Paycheck to Riches: Can Your Salary Make You Rich?

You are viewing content from Nigeria Info, Let's Talk! Lagos. Would you like to make this your preferred location?

Some Nigerians have shared diverse opinions in response to an assertion that a salary would not make one rich.

Callers on Nigeria Info’s Sunny Side tackled the ever-present question: can a salary truly make you rich? What is the possibility of one getting rich through a salary? The feedback bore varied perspectives, proving once again that the road to financial freedom is as personal as it is complex.

While one caller argued that a substantial monthly paycheck, especially those from “N1 million and above”, could indeed lead to wealth accumulation, another caller viewed salary through a more cynical lens. He echoed the sentiment that it is merely a tool to keep individuals content and distracted from pursuing their true passions. 

“Salary is what they give you to forget about your dreams. It can never make you rich,” he asserted.

Contrary to the notion of a salary as a wealth generator, a third caller emphasized the importance of an entrepreneurial spirit for achieving true financial independence. 

So, what's your take? Is your salary paving the way to riches?
