Can you save money?
Yes - we saved TONS. - Aug 2015
Yes/no. If you spend it all on travel getting out of Abuja at every chance or spending it all on comfort shopping on the internet. If you are two income, no kids, then yes. Most people will not lose money here, but they might not leave with much more. - Jun 2015
Yes, nothing to buy here. We travel when we can which is pricey but worth it. - Nov 2014
Yes, not much else to do. Unless you travel a lot. - Aug 2014
By not traveling out, yes. - May 2014
Yes, if you entertain at home and fly out of Abuja airport as infrequently as possible (tickets to Ghana are $500, all other countries $900+). - May 2013
That depends greatly on how you live. Its a very expensive place, but if you don't eat out, entertain very often, or travel much, it is possible to save some money. Families seem to have a more difficult time saving money. - Jun 2009
You can, but it may be harder than you think it will be. - Sep 2008
Yes! This is a good thing. Despite the prices, anything you don't spend on food you can save, as there is nothing to do. - Aug 2008
That really depends on how frugal you are. I have been able to, however I don't have many outgoing expenses. If you want to travel and get out of the country and go out to eat several times a week, it will be difficult to save much. - Jul 2008
