Lumpyy: Most people saying this doesn't have kids, wives nor husbands to carter for, so I wonder how they will know what's enough and what isn't. I am very prudent with spending but i spend above that too. If that's the best he can do, then she need to get resourceful. 4 Likes |

For Generator 5k monthly is enough for 2hours daily usually at night between 7pm-9pm or 8pm-10pm if you want to watch NTA news. Besides there are days when there will be light so more fuel left. |

beeevan: Outline your expenditure listing your weekly manicure and pedicure. If you tell yourself the truth you will know that there are some places you go where they charge you more than is nnormal just cos of your 'class' ish. Braiding that would be like 2500 will be like 10k in some salons. 1 Like |

Its not enough abeg.... Hmm... If the guy can't afford it ... Na management levels... But if he can.... Abeg abeg abeg abeg .... Let him bring sensible money for upkeep... Those children didn't come to suffer and its the parents responsibility to give them the best .. while we are at that, she should get a job .. Business or something.. That is if she hasn't one already. ...and no more kids till her husband understands that 50 k ain't enough. 5 Likes |

50k is not enough but if it all the hubby can afford, then she should become resourceful and extra prudent. Ditch her car till she is going to church; Learn to braid her hair more often, invest in hand dryer and straightner so she can style her hair herself Manage her tolietries to last longer/look for cheaper options Be mindful of where she does her purchases especially of clothes and shoes It is well 1 Like |

Wasteful? You are kidding, right? Infact, I commend her. She's a very good manager. I have been wondering how she does it with 50k monthly. Children are not adults o! There are times you cook and what they want is something else. What about snacks and buying the food stuff in bulk? Some of these government workers you mentioned have customers for almost all household items where they can take things on credit pending when they get paid. (My neighbour told me this) Like I said, if its just one child and she's complaining, I would say she's a careless spender but not in this case. ukandi1: |

beeevan: Be kind enough to outline their prices. Our parents raise some of us and were themselves raised on far less. Are you telling me there are people whose monthly salary is not 20k and are happily married? Its all about adjustments. |

FynBabe: Verily verily I say unto you that family cannot finish a 50kg bag of rice in 3 months. Oh you even know about buying food in bulk? A 50kg bag of rice shouldn't be more than 15k depending on brand. Like I said before 5k is more than enough to cook soup for 1 month. As for children not liking what you give them, it simply means they are not hungry or you are too soft. I have seen where my sister-in-law is feeding my nephew. The little boy will be crying and she will be stucking pap into his mouth notwithstanding.He didn't die, on the contrary he grew fatter as a result of the feeding. As for snacks you simply fry yam or prepare something and put in their food flasks. I haven't seen anybody that died for not taking snacks. Our parents knew nothing about snacks in their times. If you must buy snacks buy it say a carton of biscuit will last for a term besides all these sugary tins are not good for kids. Its a pity most women these days enter marriage knowing little or nothing. 4 Likes 1 Share |

It is obvious you know everything. Did you say 5k can cook soup for one month? With or without meat/fish or what? Its so easy for you to say because you are a man and I'm sure you don't go to the market. Abeg, I don't have energy 4 arguement this morning joor. When you marry, give her 10k for 2months and even expect some change self. Women enter marriage without know what it is? Na your future wife I pity pass.

Fxwarrior, who buys the rice, yam, beans, garri, fish, palm oil, v.oil, drinking water, dstv subscription? Who? Abi you don't know its the same 50k that would do all these? Please, you must not comment if you don't know how these things work. Experienced people are telling you this money is small and yor still insisting on what you know nothing about. We are talking qaulity not quantity abeg. 2 Likes |
