Dear Nl, i always have this thought hunting me. I want to get off the dating feild, I've been wondering if my wage would be enough for me to settle down (95k).

Although I've not had a relationship that seems serious to that level, but am wondering, what if i love someone who doesn't work, can we sustain with that amount, or even plan a wedding even.

High bride price in Africa, as if you're buying your wife over for slave trade.
I saw a bride price list, from a Tribe in Rivers, i was scared to bits.


I need your opinions please.

Save money and When ur ready, then u can decide whether u wanna marry a plain housewife or a working class.. There's always a choice.

You absolutely can, my uncle also married when he still earned around that range, all you need is an understanding wife, good planning and savings.. You too can be more successful together.
My uncle's marriage is 4years old now, his wife is schooling, has a house and a car.. Not bragging, but just trying to encourage you.. Just try as much as possible to cut most if not all of your uncessary spendings from now on.
Save more, plan better and have a brighter future.
It all depends on you!

Plan it like that and get married. People earning lesser than you are getting married.

Mind not those ladies that rant up and down saying they can't marry you if you ain't earning 200k, all na for Nairaland. Some of them are really coping with niggas getting 40k per month, yet they come online to form being above.

It is well, Nigeria will be fine again.

Oga those below that amount dey marry..all you need is proper planning and no marry a woman who likes flamboyant lifestyle like one Granny above rather go for a decent woman with simple lifestyle and a supportive one then you're good to go my brother..Stay away from fro NL babes sha if you wan live longer

That amount is still okay to start a family but you need to be cautious on your spendings and most importantly you should settle for a partner who is financially discuplined

People that earn 30k get married,so you can


Just make sure your wife is working,or what else could she be doing at home??

If she's not working fulltime she can own a shop,or own an investment of her own,instead of wasting her life because you can die anytime soon,and she'll regret it for the rest of her life..

You dig?

he meant "disciplined"

Wait until your salary grows then you can settle down by then you will do LATE PLANTING.

Oga go and marry. I married when my wage was 58k and I nor my family did not die. Is all about setting priorities and planning oga. Plus with God and an understanding wife you will increase financially. I am a leaving testimony!
