How much do you have to earn to live comfortably in Addis?
Almost everyone here has run that math in their head, usually while staring at a rent bill or a restaurant menu.
Independent estimates say a family of four needs around 78,000 birr a month. A bachelor's graduate entering the workforce starts at 11,500.
Somewhere between those numbers is the line between surviving and making it, and most of us are nowhere near it. So what does it actually take to cross it?
Today, we look at the business like precision it takes to survive in Addis.

On our October edition of LinkUp Magazine SpotLight section, we feature digital artist, graphic designer, and motion designer Yohanan Mengistu, a graduate from Addis Ababa Science and Technology University.
Transitioning into motion art to express his emotions over the past six years, Yohanan focuses on a surreal art style that serves as a distinct reality and a means of escaping the current one. Through striking visual pieces like Hope, Escapism, The Bottom, and The Weight of Absence, his work blends surreal imagery from glowing city suns and floating cars above clouds to futuristic spacecraft to explore themes of resilience, escaping chaos, and finding light in dark moments.

In September 1974, Emperor Haile Selassie was driven out of his palace in a small Volkswagen Beetle and never seen in public again.
Eleven months later, the Derg announced he had died after a prostate operation. His son said he was in “excellent health,” his personal doctor refused to believe the official story, and the body was never handed over for an independent autopsy.
For 17 years, no one knew where he lay, until his remains were found beneath a concrete slab on the palace grounds but the truth was never uncovered.
So what really happened? In our investigation we dive into Ethiopian criminal records to discover what really happened to the last king of Ethiopia.

Dangote called it the “People’s IPO,” promising everyday Africans a chance to own a piece of one of the continent’s biggest industrial investments.But for Ethiopians, buying in now comes with a surprising condition: a minimum net worth of 10 million birr.
So, how did an investment that reportedly cost around $4 to join in Nigeria become a privilege reserved for the wealthy in Ethiopia? And is this about protecting investors or keeping ordinary people out?
