30 billion or turn gay

It is not about the money but the sustainability of your income and spending habit

kimbraa:
His question was straight forward as he didn't ask for criterion which deems one ready for marriage but the monetary aspect of it. I know it goes beyond money but one has to stay to the subject matter, and in the case of being able to fed for oneself and two others; if he could do that then there are responsibilities he's deemed capable of handling. No hungry guy could comfortably feed three mouths.

No be every food be food ooo

So I don't support your suggestions

Please house I want to ask is there a certain amount of cash you need to have before planning to settle down? for instance one need to have up-to 500k in his account before thinking of settling down. please I need you input.

my brother 500k is ok but small.. except you are not planning to have kids... If you wife is a working class and earning atleast N100,00 a month and you make something close to that then you can think of settling now but if you have no such advantage please don't marry yet because you will be older than your father in 2years..

28million and I will give God the Glory.

Before talking abt money, i think mental soundness and maturity is the key. But u need money o i mean plenty money

Depends on how you plan it. For me, I will do only traditional wedding. That is our culture. If my wife likes church wedding, she can sponsor it. Unless I am marrying a pastor's daughter, I don't see why a pastor should join me and my wife.

So, what happens when the 500k gets depleted?
Get a JOB/work that will ensure the funds never gets depleted.

your plans aren't bad though, it all boils down to good financial management. Your pay grade can comfortably keep a family in Nigeria if you get your acts right. You are fortunate.

vizkiz:


Maybe I am not intelligent enough but isn't feeding limited to food?

What about other responsibilities that comes with marriage?

Clothing?

School fees?

Bills?

Transportation?

*********
500k is not even enough for a bachelor not to talk of a family man.

Well you are a lady, you can't understand half of it.

Nice but how do you survive with 20k bros

Even if you don't help anyone or send money home ...

Do you pay utility bills, Trans to office , recharge voucher and subscription??

To the matter, well its good you have extra source but since you get that extra once a year, I suggest you find where to invest it to give birth to another steady source.

Pls don't save money in the bank, even if you have no plans for it, buy treasury bills or invest in money market. Don't just leave any cash in the bank.

Kobicove:
Just make sure you have a steady source of income

not really about steady income oo, a guy receiving steady 30k nko That na cooperate begger lol

steady income is good also be prayerful hardworking and smart

common 500k I can generate within 5min on my bet9ja platform na person wan take marry, hmmm it is well,but incase u are in need of quality and affordable furniture check my signature

vizkiz:


His question requires a specific amount needed before marriage. Your answer was about feeding mouths (which didn't correspond).

What if he is a cassava farmer and he feeds on mostly cassava products?

So you wanna give birth to malnourished kids?

This reply is baseless.

I like the last sentence madam and kids must be comfortable.

Some madam will require more than 5million to be comfortable sha...

Esp now that Assurance is trending...

one guy here said he spent 5Million for his wedding. I just weak lol.

I can't spend more than 1.5M for mine.

consistent source of income is the koko

pedrilo:
thanks boss, ur assessment is noted. And yes I live in Lagos n also live close to my office in lagos mainland. I only spend 100 naira as tfare daily. Thanks once again

#100? Bro you own better oo. I know someone that wanted 75% of his income on transport.

You must have a job

An apartment of your own

And a well mannred bride.

Whatever money you have in your account is ASSURANCE

Blonchilli:

A nairalander opened a thread and shared how he's about to get married on a salary of 30k and how he had smartly broken down the expenses. You don't need millions to get married. I know a guy who at that time was earning 8k as a salary and got married with support of friends and family, the girl was pregnant though so he had to do a wedding. The point is kimbraa already said it, so long you're capable of feeding more than 2 people and you know you're not a lazy guy who will starve and suffer someone's daughter then you're good. A friend waited for years till he got married, he told me that if he had known he would have married on time because there is no big difference with what he used to spend on himself and what he does on his family now. All you have to do is learn management skills and hope your wife isn't the lazy kind that sits home doing nothing

Marriage na achievement? People want to make it big before marrying someone abeg.

500k that cannot even buy food and drinks alone for wedding.

You need to be sure that your annual income is up to 1.2m b4 you can think of settling down and live the life of a poor man. If you want average life, income of 2m annual . Then normal life is 3m annual.
Then to own a car be able to fligh on plane when traveling, you need annual of 5m.

I’m not ready yet even when I earn at least 400k monthly

500 million

it's not about how much you have in your account but what is adding money to your account. even if you have a million in your account and you are not adding to it, you'd still rum into trouble at the end

RadicallyBlunt:

500k for wedding or for marriage? If its wedding well u can save 1million sef if u wish. But for marriage, is not by what u have in ur account o, its by d amount coming into ur pocket regularly. If u have 600k and no good income is coming in, when d money finish wetin u go do? If God wan come catch you, make orobo woman weh no get work get belle for you... Na double of wetin u dey chop, wear and use she go dey require plus pregnancy demand.
