Flygeriansteve: @OP. Only you can make that decision yourself. You have to consider if further education at your age is a good or bad investment or if it's even an investment at all. Will a Masters give you an upward push in your career or are you just looking to add more paper to a job-seeking CV? If the latter is the case, you might want to consider business or financial investment instead. A car? You should already have a car by now. Yes a car is a necessity but it's also a liability. If you don't have a stable paying job, you might be serving that car instead of it serving you. Marriage? Yes marriage is good but it's a dang money-gulping venture esp since you're a man. Please OP the population of Nigeria is 160 or so million. It makes no sense to add to the number of the 140m living on < $1. Don't eat hot food in haste and scald your tongue making yourself unable to eat it even when it cools. Consider your own peculiarities and make your decision regardless of whatever expectation Family, friends or society have of you.

Best comment so far.....!
