Etc.u can stil manage 40k even if she doesnt work when kids are not around. All u need is prudency and cut ur coat acordin to ur cloth, not acordin to size, 1 Like |

If your living expenses has been eg 10,000 naira monthly in the past year you could have saved 360,000 naira. Yes you can as someone had already said. And yes depends on your outgoings and if your wife is working. |
Re: Earn 40,000 Monthly Can I Get Married. by Nobody: 6:28pm On Mar 03, 2010 |
Guy, it depends on who u're marrying and the reason you want to get married. There area lot of factors involved besides money. For example, there's a certain age you will get to that family members will start putting pressure on you to find a woman regardless of your financial capabilities. I believe there are some blessing/societal sentiments attached married/single people. So you have to think deeply about it and pray before making this crucial decision. btw i have a gf who asked me to give her 250k for her to marry me. and she's damn serious. She says she don't want to suffer. 3 Likes |

Yes, you can. But as advised, you need to have been saving before. Maybe if you had saved 20k per month a year before marrying you could have had 240k. It all depends on your lifestyle. I know many people that earn within that range and take care of a family of 3-5 with that income. And when you see them outside, you will never even know their income is that low i.e they live a decent, middle-class life. They are not based in Lagos though. Another important factor is the lifestyle of your would-be wife. Plus understanding. if she's teh understanding, not-so-materialistic type, then there will be little pressure on you. I'm also a bachelor though. 1 Like |

I believe it's possible. My husband's friend held his wedding reception in Mr Biggs n didn't do any trad marriage! Though i don't knw why he did that (except of course for a slight touch of insanity), it really depends on the girl u re marrying. If she is not really interested in glamor n has not been struck with peer pressure and a complex, then pls go ahead. Wish u luck. |

40 k a month? My friend sort out your life first before end up in perpetual penury, do you know how much it takes to feed and clothe children? You want to get married simply because it feels good, forgetting the fact that there are consequences. This isn't 1920 when every man had a village and taking care of the family meant going to the farm early enough to work. This is 2010, you have rent costs, schools costs, entertainment costs and all what not. Evildoers are here advising you to go ahead with your marriage on a 40k salary, don't make that mistake. Think well before you act, calculate your current expenses and potential expenses after you get married and see how it all pans out. The wedding alone is enough to leave you indebted for the next 6 years ( you know Nigerians and their "big eye", they don't do small weddings). Plan your life and become financially stable before you get married. Don't let love," vision" from your pastor or your woman's pressure trap you into something you regret later. 4 Likes |

It depends on so many factors. My gate man earns half of that and is married with 3 kids. Like i said, it depends. Where do you live? What are your tastes and that of your wife? How much do you spend on transport, feeding, grooming etc? 1 Like |

If you re my younger brother and U tell me U want to marry in this manner,,am surely gonna cane you or get a Doctor to investigate ur brain,,,If you can't take care of the lady financially,,,leave her alone and God would bring somebody her way that would be capable of taking care of the lady,,,and U should focus on developing ur self,,,I have always told people that a broken relationship is better than a broken marriage,,,, At 40k,,,don't you have parents or younger ones that U re suppose to be supporting Now U want to go and carry an overloaded wahala all in the name of marriage,,,,when U start having the problems,,,,this same people on Nairaland won't be there to help you oooo,,,,,Finally the best U can do is to use the head God gave to think if this step U re taking is actually worth it,,, In a relationship,,I always tell people involved that the first thing to do is use head,,,if it does'nt connect with ur head,,,it simply means its not gonna work out,,,, 2 Likes |

well, it all depends as you know dat u are anticipating a better job you can go ahead, just dont start a family with children untilyou both are comfortable enough moreover, our parents didnt start out the way there are now, they started from somewhere if you are optimistic, by next year, things would be better but if you both are ready to marry, go ahead, afterall love can go through the stormiest weather and survive depsite all odds things would always get better keep the faith |
Re: Earn 40,000 Monthly Can I Get Married. by Igwe9(m): 7:37pm On Mar 03, 2010 |
You can my brother, there's no big deal in this marriage, you two are human being and can understand the situation on ground. most time some bachelors are more married than the married ones. The problems here would be children, just born the number of children you can comfortable take care of, children don't understand that things are hard , and could be worsen by their association with other children. Good wives to me are not liabilities. if 40k can take care of your needs and your faithful girlfriend's, i don't see the need for this discussion, else re-think . . . . . 1 Like |

as long as you are not in a hurry to have children - yes make sure you use contraceptives oh and keep hustling till you get a better job. marriage is not the sole province of high income earners people make all sorts of compromises when they get married. 1 Like |

LFJ:That is why I suggest that for any young couple getting married,,,,both of them should be "earners" atleast for the start of their marriage,,,,No job whatsoever is guaranteed,,,,even if the man looses his,,he could fall back on his wife support pending when things gets better,,, In ur scenerio,,,a banker who just lost his job and got married to a lady who is not working would suffer many things,,one of which might likely be the lady leaving the man,,,I have said it before,,,there is no pity in marriage ,,,nobody should pity U and U should'nt pity anybody,, However for a smart banker whose wife is working or probably engaged in business to support the home,,if the banker looses his job,,,he would fall back on his wife for assistance pending when things gets better,,,This life is too tough and too hard for people not to think deeply b4 getting married,,,, |

If your girlfriend is working, fine. and another thing to put in mind is the fact that you should have a plan to upgrade from your present place of work or try search for a job with better pay. |

N40,000 a month? Without knocking it, i'll like to think that it depends on where you live and how you commute to work. Eg if you live in your home town and work a trekkable distance, then you might just pull it off because you have no real expenses but no kids yet oo!! because im not sure you can pay for primary school yet. Luxuries of any kind is completely out of the question. |
