FynBabe: Buahahahah. I don't go to market? Market I go to every weekend. Infact there's no soup or food I can't cook. If I don't go how would I have known its possible and even offered to outline the prices of the condiments. Meat is not compulsory. There are other sources like fish, beans, ground soya beans. You can even use soyabeans to make tea for them and bread in the morning. 250naira bread is more than enough for 2-3 days.I know women don't even eat well mostly. I understand all these things.That woman hasn't spoken the truth yet on how she squanders 50k. TRUTH IS BITTER. SPEAK IT AND BE FREE. |

Some women have friends that are a disaster waiting to happen. They will not discuss how you will earn money but will rather explore and expose different avenues for you to spend what you have and being influenced they will dip hands into the 50k and bring out 35k remaining 15k its actually the 15k that they complain isn't enough. 3 Likes |

Imagine some of them women here mentioned how you will prepare rice for a kid of 4 years and they ll say, mummy I don't want rice I want plantain. So you will enter market and buy plantain abi? Another scenario you are walking to the supermarket with him and he sees a toy of 15k and starts crying, mummy I want this toy. To avoid embarrassment you buy it for him abi?

my dear fxwarrior, its like you had it real tough growing up with all this your analyses. one thing you must realise is that most parents of this generation strive to give their kids a better life than they had. How do you think the poor woman would feel if she takes her kids out n they start crying for ribena which she can't afford? I'm sure you'll tell her to give them the local icecream they sell #10 naira cos she wants to save abi? They only get to be kids once, indulge them sometimes. Though, i agree the woman should find a way around managing that allowee but please, you are just too harsh. Things are not always in black n white as you think. @Op, let her buy better okrika (first grade) for the kids, wash well with dettol n iron. she can mix with brand new clothes once in a while. As per the cerelac thing, i can totally relate though mine was the opposite. Baby refused sweet foods like nutrend n all but was very happy with ogi n beta swallow, lol. She just has to find a way around it cos her incessant nagging for an increase might backfire except she suspects the man has way more than he lets on. 2 Likes |

Lol@ fxwarrior, you be correct shrewd guy and I mean that as a compliment. Imagine having n50k and two kids and crying for dstv When free to air dey there. Someone even mentioned inverter. I won't put smiley so as not to be rude but u know how much for smallest inverter wy go carry fan and light? Its still costly. She can use a quarter of the money for inverter and buy water filter instead so when fxwarrior fetches the borehole water they can filter it like proper aje butter and drink That pikin wey dey choose food neva hungry The lady should cut her coat according to her size. The n50k won't be forever. Hussie is hustling, she should pray for God to bless His hustle so he can start sending more money but in the meantime n50k is OK abeg. 4 Likes |

That man is not trying at all,you live in America and yet your wife and kids have to buy everything,i mean from toiletries,to clothes and diapers? He could have cut the cost by sending all these little items to her,it will be cheaper if he sends clothes,diapers and baby foods after 3 or 5 months. Then the 50k can be spend on utilities bills,foods and school fees. Madam time to get busy;get something doing for your sanity and stop waiting on your hubby fixed salary.... 2 Likes |

Lumpyy: D thing is dt ppl shld live within their means n d lady in question is nt doing so. There r cheaper alternatives to most of d things she spends money on monthly. For eg y must she buy sma when her monthly allowance can't support dt. This is where wisdom is needed to make choices dt ur allowance can support. Again wat stops her from workin to argument d 50k if nt laziness. 600k annually for an adult n two kids if well managed can take care of all their basic needs and give them a decent life. No amount of money ll ever b enough if nt well budgeted on. Her money management skill is poor n nt d 50k 1 Like |

kendraloops: You are the type of woman that we tag wifey material. You are a solution provider not a problem giver. A helpmate. Yes for now I went on market survey 2k naira yam will last them for 1 month seriously.1 big yam like that was 350 naira. I know it will be reduced if she's buying in bulk. 20 litres vegetable oil is 4200naira 25 litres palm oil is 6k 20k is enough for rice, beans, garri lasting 2months. These may be highly reduced depending on her location. 4 Likes |

@FXWARRIOR Hey!u r really harsh on dis issue.sounding like 50k is a WHOLE LOT OF MONEY..I agree she can find a way to manage it (like I advised her)but it will mean forfeiting a lot of her need.u keep makin reference to d past,was d economic condition of d country then d same as today.Now tell me MR FX WARRIOR,when her husband spends not less than 200k monthly when he is around,why then will he send 50k when he goes back to d states.so his wife n kids should enjoy only when he is around.if its as easy as u sound to manage 50k a month,why don't her hubby stick to d same rule when he is around.ok,so he can't manage as he is used to life of affluence abroad but then his wife n kids can. @FXWARRIOR u keep comparing her to families of state civil servants.for cryin out loud,her husband is not in dat grade ok?here's a man doin very well over there but u would rather his family live like civil servant families.wit d way u r analysin dis issue,I bet ur wife is or will be out for a hard time.trust me. 3 Likes |
