Androgen daisy: Nairaland babes I plan to find and marry the woman of my dreams soon.
How much should my take home pay be to support a wife (educated/civilised) and two kids.
I dnt want my wife hassling me for soup money,etc

P.S am talking btw 100k-200k.

In other news 'we' (my post and I made front page)...chai i must testify in church on sunday

Fadelex: what d husband is earning is not even d issue but how he is able to manage it. I've seen people earning 200k but couldn't account for somethin reasonable they did with d money while some earn just 50k and could cater for their needs. but a potential husband earning should be enuf to pay rent, feed 3 people, and pay utility bills.
u want figure?? no figure is enuf, d more u earn d greater ur responsibilities

satellitedaisy: Stupid thread

Mine earns $1M per month yet it is not enough

otodeluxe: Well I'm a guy so I don't know. But my advice for you is to marry someone that is not too exposed else she will always bite off more than one can chew

maninmood:

How extravagant you are! God forbids my son meets your type. You are suicidal murderous

bukatyne: On a serious note...

With the replies on this thread, I wonder if we are all in this same 'Nigeria!'

How many people's take home pay is above N150,000 or n100,000 monthly?

How many people work in Chevron, Mobil and other high paying organizations?

Some people earn N100,000 monthly with 3 kids and they still buy cars, build houses and train all their kids through school. Fine, they might not achieve all at once but they do.

Let us be realistic please.

sanb: @Op; giving a specific amount might be tricky; cos it all depends on the type of wife you marry and the kind of life-style you want to live. If you marry a wife that wants to catch up with the “Joneses” then no matter what you earn per month, it’ll never be enough for her to spend for the up keep of the household.

Marry a wife who knows that running a home requires her self-control instincts to kick in i.e. she knows the difference between her NEEDs (Essentials) and WANTs (Extras). Even if you were to earn 1M Naira per month it still won’t be enough for her if she spends without thinking and planning for the rainy day.

For you to know if your monthly earning would be sufficient, you need to have a budget and align it with what your income and expenditure equates to each month. From there, you and your wife can then determine how much is needed to run a home. Always remember to cut your coat according to your size.

Be wise and marry a lady who is understanding; hence, whether you earn 100K or 1M naira per month for the household, she’ll know how to spend and manage the money wisely….

ZLUK: it doesn't matter how much you earn, I still gotta foot my bills of bout #5mill monthly or else... Forget it

PastelChic: ...competition for husband?does this thread not spell guys are in search?

thehunted:

guys in search? babe ,it is 6 babes to one guy. u will soon realise that .

obelisk: 750k /month is a good start.
But the most important thing is to marry a partner not a dependant

PastelChic: ...dunno bout that...excerpt in turf of men that like buy one get 1 free

ceejayluv: My calculation goes thus: family income = 45k X no. Of persons. Including dependents. Eg. If you're taking care of younger siblings or parents, calculate it at 45k per head.

Therefore if you got two dependents and wife got two dependents, then budget for two kids (they may come as twins first)..
That's a total of six dependents plus you and your wife making it 8 people..

That gives 45k x8= 360k per month FAMILY income....

My formula.

Konnektions146:
My dear i just wonder,
i have worked in a bank and other companies, i know how much people take home
and when people come to Nairaland to spew all this, i just wonder if they are in Nigeria or in heaven.

Just live your life as yur income reach

PastelChic: ..nah,just societal pressure...my grandma,until she passed on still had toaster

thehunted: In an ideal world,the wife should earn just as much as the husband.

Youceemeri: MTN Fu..Ck YOu

leofab:
Mr. U.K Man, does that means that your wife is overhere in Nigeria driving around town without earning something to support the family. An idle mind is the devil's workshop, get her engaged before Musa the neighbour's gateman starts entangling her.
