Ex-banker recounts borrowing to make ends meet
The former banker said she always borrowed money to sustain herself as her salary was barely enough.
Eventually, she quit her bank job in 2019 and started a spa in 2020. She noted that working in the bank only gave her financial exposure, but she could not save any money. She wrote:
“My ctss sent me to lion building because I passed my integrity test and I insulted her and I started paying transportation of 1k each from my N59,500.
“I started borrowing before month end so I can pay when salary come and borrow again.
“Now am spa owner with two branches in Abuja, tho working in the bank gave me financial exposure but I couldn’t save anything.
“I quietly quit 2019. Started spa 2020.”
