Yes, that's possible. You simply buy want you need, not what you want, and you avoid all unnecessary expenses.

You're blessed if you wife also earns an income. The sad thing is that, millions on Nigerians earn far less than this.

I wonder how they survive.

Re: Can I Start A Family With 70k? by wwee: 11:02am On Sep 27, 2016
its about what you and your wife to be believe,
for me its ok, some dont earn upto that but they are surviving with their family though locations matter. for now work for about a year and see how much you can save before making the decision.
Good luck
but Economy get as e be oo
even to survive alone no easy.

Bro Mindset matters ooo, if your mind carry am, then you have got the right heart. One thing you should also note is that *don't look at your friends way of life oo, I meant a those ones saying how much be my salary wey I wan feed another person*. We all have them around us, if you wait till you start earning big, bro, time would have long gone. With God all things are possible. I am a contact worker and I am planning my wedding for next year.

Gods be bro..

SAMBARRY:
exactly what I was about saying

Op do you know how much house rent is alone talkless OF other bills

The cheapest and decent house in Lagos is starting FROM 100k upwards and that is even self contained

If you're talking about 3 bedroom flat it's 200k upwards

Abi you want to live in face me I slap you where over 24 people will be sharing one toilet and bathroom, where they'll be stealing your wife's pant or your clothes.when you're fuckig your wife your neighbours will know and when your neighbours are having sex you will know.that one is gbo gbo ero house. Everyone will be in your buisness giving you solicited and unsolicited advice ON how to live your life.meanwhile your neighbours can be hemp smoker or drunkard. It's 24k per year but I can assure you you won't enjoy your life living there

You will still pay nepa bills
buy generator
fuel it (especially when the kids start coming )
Your wife has needs you will satisfy her otherwise she's leaving. A woman's tolerance level to poverty differs
You will buy food stuffs
To refill gas cooker you're talking of 4,500
The cheapest private school in Lagos is at least 80k.how do you want to cope?

You better get your priorities straight. Marriage is not your problem now get a job or start a buisness, get comfortable before you turn to a wretched frustrated and angry or violent man
We know ur type

Your question is so childish and easily tells your age bracket..
My friend go and marry that lady if you are truly in love with her, everything will fall in place later..
You can own a house, car and turns of wealth in a day but you can't have baby(ies) in one day..

i currently face this same issue too, but i decided to shelve marriage plans for my building which i''ll soon complete b4 i clock 30. people make marriage look so scary that one begins to wonder if the sayin that "he who finds a wife, finds a good thing" is still correct.

My guy a family shouldn't be on your priority list right now. Where is the job security? No matter where you live, think about nepa bills, transportation, feeding, house rent etc.

Won't your woman make her hair? Consider the recession wahala where price of things is almost 3 times expensive.

Things will surely get better someday but that 70k monthly pay will obviously not take you to the promise land at the moment.

Certain questions you have to answer like most people pointed out;

Is your apartment meaningful enough to allow for coupling?
Distance from your home to your work place.
Would I be marrying a woman who would fully depend on me or someone who's working?
Do I have siblings who would need my help and reach out for me to help every now and then?
Is my job security guaranteed? If no, what other options do I have should this fail?
Am I going to solely rely on my income or source for other means as soon as possible?
Would the person I'd be getting married to key into my 70k salary plan?
How extravagant is she?
Do I have plans to study further?

I believe these should answer your questions and motivate you either positively or otherwise.

PS: A family shouldn't be your priority for now, since you mentioned that you just started the job. It would be wise if you take some time out to save and put some things in place before thinking of settling down.

No amt is too small to start up a family ;it depends on level of understanding between u and ur wife. Early marriage is still d best. U may not start big now, but u wil enjoy it as time goes on... It's a decision u won't regret.. BTW, some pple both husband and wife earn total of 50k or less and are still living happily..
Re: Can I Start A Family With 70k? by justmenoni: 11:18am On Sep 27, 2016
Omo see advice, you don't even know Op that much and you have concluded that he should build a house, this kind of advice has led alot of people into further debts.

Let's assume Op is currently residing in a room apartment somewhere in mushin and he works on the island, considering that a room apartment might not be more than 5000 a month, that means op is left with 65,000..then consider other expenses, transportation, bills, misc etc how will it be possible for the op to build that house you have just suggested?


If he's going to build a house, putting into consideration the high price of lands and building materials then it means op will have to save alot, and I'm optimistic that with such salary op might need to spend much more to get to work, maybe he'll end up getting to work late and you know what that'll result in..


Anyway, back to the question..Op I'm not an economist ooo but I'll advise you to first manage or stay a bit where you currently stay and then save up in a year, let's say you manage to save up to 30k a month, that's 360 in a year, then after one year you can rent a mini flat(one room,one living room, one toilet, and kitchen), then get married( doesn't have to be extravagant, just go to the registry blah blah blah).. try to use the remaing money to furnish your place a little bit( you can furnish further later on) but keep small change for foodstuff and transportation, then save 30k again for another 6 months( that should give you 180k, use this to establish your wife, small shop and stock it up a bit, at least to start from somewhere).. use the remaining 6 months to save 30k again and use that to pay your house rent( this way you'll be in the good books of your landlord,)... next year try to save for 6 first 6 months and use part of it to support your wife's business and keep the rest just incase a child come's in between, use the remaining 6 months to save and pay your rent...

Op, I'm not advocating that you shouldn't build a house, but to me, that's not and shouldn't be your top priority for now and shouldn't even be for the next couple of years,.




Joel3:
it's advising you build your house first. even if its BQ. then you can complete the main flat or duplex later.

because when bills start to surface then you will know 70k is chicken change. except you want to suffer. my friend who had a wife and one child stock his fridge every week with meat 10k only. other food items is not among. just imagine that your money for food, rent, change of clothes at least 2 clothes a month u and kid each.

I spent more than that amount a month. I don't know how I do it but I don't have a family.

not forgetting that I relax always with few drink daily. life is too short bro. so decide for yourself.

lalasticlala, seun.

70k is enough, if your spouse has her own income and can contribute to the finance of the home else you could be getting yourself in trouble.
