A Nigerian international student living in the United Kingdom has given a detailed breakdown about how much she spends monthly.

In a TikTok video, the lady, identified as @quennyvick, shared how much it costs her to live in the UK, creating buzz online.

The Nigerian lady ranted about the crushing cost in the UK, despite living with her loved ones.

According to the international student, she spends about £100 and £250 (Approximately N188,000 to N464,000) per month on personal needs.

However, she was quick to point out several times that her low spending is due to a massive support system. According to her, her partner and brother play a significant role in covering her major bills.
