In a TikTok post, the lady revealed that out of her monthly earnings amounting to 6,200 CAD (approximately N4.2 million), only 4,100 CAD found its way into her pocket. The remaining 2,100 CAD, equivalent to N1.4 million, was deducted as taxes.

She wrote;
“Realizing I made 6,200 a month but only took home 4,100 because of taxes. Yes, that is the life we live here, paying taxes that we don’t even know where they go.”
The post has since garnered attention, with many users sympathizing with her situation and questioning the fairness of the tax system.
In response to inquiries about her occupation, @foya2005 revealed that she considers herself underemployed and underpaid given her qualifications and skills.
“Believe me, I’m under-employed and underpaid for my skills and education,” the lady said.
