Why must a man settle down ..God made men to rise and not settle down like sediment ..Open your eyes and your heart OP life is bigger than just settling down ..if you have seen a woman you want to have kids with then marry her and do it but don't settle down for God's sake..you and your wife will rise

yes..One can settle on 50k even 20k self, depending on his taste in life and views and also the friends or company he keeps.
The salary should not be an end but a means to hustle more and harder.

mindset is everything.. people settled down for less,so why can't you?


With God all things are possible, yes. But you need to do some reality check before you make that call.

1. How much is my spouse earning?
2. Will our total earning (annual) be able to cater for our basic needs, such as accomodation, food, clothing etc.
3. If our earning can cater for our basic needs, what type of accomodation and living standard can this income afford us?
4. Is my spouse aware of this little income of mine and is she in support ?
5. Does my spouse believe together we can manage this income before God will do smthn great in our life?

By the time you give hinest answers to these questions and others, you will be able to take a good decision.

Goodluck.

It has nothing to do with the STATE you live in but your TASTE.No problem at all if you can cut your coat according to your cloth.No salary can be enough.All is ECONOMICS.

If a man can survive with #1500 monthly income, what stops one from surviving with #50000.
Its all about planning and adjusting ones lifestyle to income generated.
surviving is not the same thing as settling down ma

As long as the Man has a rent-free house and can trek to work and back everyday.. YES!


50,000 / 31 = 1600 Naira Daily.

For two people and a possible third. Not advisable.


Average Monthly expenditure to consider:

1. Transport

2. Food

3. Recharge Card for phones.

4. Fuel for generator. (optional)

5. Toiletries

6. Light Bill

7. Miscellaneous

I settled with 50K but has some side income that fluctuates. Just plan well and be sure if the marriage is Gods will. If God is in d boat, Blessings will surely come after the bold step.

The question should have being "can a woman settle down with a woman that earn that amount? then you u will see genuine response

But let me say this, your father does not earn this much before he marry your mother and if u r able to come out of them, then the best answer is YES

@ Op: It's a difficult one with today's realities. No matter how you plan and prioritize it ain't going to be easy. I bet you might run into borrowing. But this is not an excuse of not settling down oh! If coke hungry you, drink water. No unnecessary visitors...but try, who knows tomorrow? You just have to start somewhere...even gateman with 15k salary they settle down.

for starters yes, but from day one of your new job start looking out for a better option. d 50k would keep body and soul meanwhile.
