  • Hey guys! Today I am getting financially naked for the internet LOL. We're going over my monthly expenses and general budget (kinda) as a single female living in Kampala, Uganda. Times have changed over the last few years, so this needed an update!
    Am I missing any particular monthly expense?

    As someone who lived and worked in Kampala as an adult, that is a budget for someone in the higher levels of earning. Wages in Kampala are so low, very few people can afford to live like you. Rachel, you are in privileged position.

    • @RachaelNalumu
      @RachaelNalumu  2 роки тому +9

      Hello Maria ! Yes for sure, definitely privileged however given that I came from Canada and the lifestyle I’m use to, this is the lowest I could cut my budget. I’m veeery aware not everyone can afford things like the gym, or flowers in their home, etc so I tried to break it down by categories and provide examples for all budget types and explain mine the best I could. I truly hope it helps. Thanks so much for watching ! ☺️

    With the cloud storage, is GDrive not convenient for you? I think it might be cheaper. The 100GB is at $20 annually and I think at $50, you can get a TB. Then you can also invest in a good external storage which can be easily connected online and accessed via remote...just in case..

    • @RachaelNalumu

      Thanks for this Steven! So I have many external drives but because of my work, they fill up quickly. I would love a cloud storage solution. At the moment google drive works for me though

    Rachael ..enjoyed you on the Kenganda podcast last night...and I always enjoy your videos! I want to ask you a question and I want you to be completely honest with me: is a residual income of $4,600 a month enough to live comfortably in Uganda?

    • @RachaelNalumu
      @RachaelNalumu  Рік тому

      Thanks so much! In my opinion it's enough. My budget is pretty realistic for a single person, except that it doesn't include rent. With rent at around $1000 at most, $2000 as a single person is really enough to cover your expenses. Also need to factor in a car (we don't do monthly payments so that would be bough outright).
