80k? seriously? that money can finish in my hands under 1hour

dmahn:
This argument came up in my hostel when we started to discuss about the current job opportunities in the country and their salaries.. We then ventured into the banking sector sector in which a brother said those accountants collect just 80k per month... He said the money is so foolish and so low that he can't marry a wife with that amount of money.. I counter him and based my own argument on the fact that the money is manageable and I ll set up a marriage and start a life with it..Some agreed with my decision while others are like neva will they marry with data on d ground that it's to low to survive... I believed that everyone has its own philosophy of tot... My question is directed majorly to the graduated ones... . Based on the limited job opportunities and low salary for d available ones, Is 80k manageable to start a living or not...Pls comment with reasons.... Thanks

PassingShot:
Lets do this arithmetic:


Salaries (both) = 140k/month = 1.68M/year

Rent = 150,000
Feeding =290,000 per year (about 800 naira daily)
Transportation = 150,000 per year (500 daily for both, 25 days per month)
Clothing and other stuffs = 100,000 yearly (8,500 monthly)
Health care allowance = 60,000 per year (5,000 monthly)

Total so far = 150k+290k+150+100K = 750,000 NGN
750,000 + 10% mark up = 825,000

From 1.68M there is still a credit balance of about 855,000.

Am I missing something?


Even plus schooling of the first kid which doesn't necessarily have to be planned on this early income, there is still enough left to do that.

Sophyrocks, please put hole in the arithmetic above.

So you mean 80K a month can't sustain a man, a woman and a child?

Please how much was your father earning when he married your mother and start giving birth to you and your siblings?

All this boastful people all over Nigeria, how much do you have in your own account?

Sophyrocks:


So just because a child brightens a home, you should just bring one into the world not minding if you can cater for that child? Do you know how much you spend to ensure your child is healthy? I want a breakdown on how a man earning 80k with a wife who earns less will manage with a child plus all other expenses in the home without one aspect or other suffering.

Freshboi:



How can a family spend N70k on feeding in a month? Are they Nephilims? Food should be N30k max for a family of four. The N30k sef is even high. When you know the intricacies of Lagos markets,feeding will be cheap

Billyonaire:
One can actually marry with 80,000 a month salary, but I am damn sure the marriage will not last 2 years if that Salary is not increased. You have to factor in rent, electricity bills, gas bill, transportation to/fro work, money for condom (considering no kid is welcomed yet), brazilian hair for new wife, DSTV bill has just gone high, money set aside for Blood pressure pills, and for mosquito drugs as well as mosquito repellant if you live in Lagos. Now you know when I said the marriage will not last more than 2 years without the wife cheating on the beloved husband for extra coins to meet her need for bleaching cream.

why marry if you are not going to give birth to a child?

80K is enough money do plan a family.
