Borrowing Money Or Selling Property To Marry by chykeo(m): 5:32pm On Sep 23, 2008
I bought a piece of land from someone who used the money to get married and i know of a guy who borrowed money to get married. I am wondering if it is right for someone to borrow money for marriage when he is tight

its one of the stupidiest things people do these days. borrowing money to marry a woman.

i actually do pity some guys though, when their "sweetheart" wants a gown of #102,000.00, why wont they borrow?

The woman will dump the man, when the man cant afford to take care of her or when he stop living a pretence, cos that is what he is doing, he is trying to do what he cant afford.

Don't borrow money because of marriage,plan for life after marriage.
Re: Borrowing Money Or Selling Property To Marry by plappville(f): 6:08pm On Sep 24, 2008
does it means that the woman will not paticipate in the marriage expenses? if she really want to show big she should be able to surport, abi na by force to do wedding, just go and pay her diary and that is all than paying debt to marry her, that is not what marriage desires. if u are rich u can do a wedding in a big way. like he said,
cut your coat according to your size simple!!!!!!!!

No biggie. sebi na just to borrow again after the wedding night - and forever grin

borrowing money to wed is living a false life and these are the poeple who steal when they have no access to money. Imagine borrowing money to do burial - the same person you did not take care of when he / she was alive.

Re: Borrowing Money Or Selling Property To Marry by damiso(f): 12:32pm On Oct 31, 2008
What a foundation to build a life on?Debt is something one should avoid at all costs especially for frivoulous stuff.I learnt one good thing for my husband and that is if i cant afford it now,il save for it and if i can t that means i don' t really need it.I remeber having a budget for everything for my wedding and decided not to exceed it(at least not considerably) and maybe it was just God's grace i actually got alot of things far less than i budgeted.We just made up our minds that we still had loads of other things to do after the wedding and debt was not something we wanted hanging around our necks.

What's the big deal?  angry angry
Why all these sermons because people borrowed money for  their wedding.  undecided undecided

Lets's face the fact, it is done everywhere, and we don't have to pretend. Wedding day is a memorable day in a couples life, and if they have to borrow some money to make it a grand day for themselves let them do it.

My younger brother's friend who got married last year had to borrow some money from his bank (he works there) for the wedding. He nets about N300k every month and we needed about N800k to finalise the wedding, so he borrowed N1m form the bank, and we had a classic wedding that was the talk of the town. He will finish paying the loan by December.

I believe that if you have a good job and a solid plan to pay back the loan, please go ahead and borrow to give yourself the best wedding.

After all, are we not borrowing to by cars, house, and even pay rents nowadays?   So why not borrow to marry a man/woman if you really love him/her?  grin grin grin
Re: Borrowing Money Or Selling Property To Marry by JJYOU: 1:17pm On Oct 31, 2008
he should not be a banker with his mentality. people living in the ocean of debt is ruinning the economies of US and UK as we speak.
borrowing to pay rents? nice one

What mentality? So bankers don't borrow money?
Do you for once, think that the world economies are been run by cash and carry methods we use in Idumota or Yaba?  grin grin grin

Borrowing is borrowing whether to buy a car or to marry. If you can borrow to buy a car that can be snatched away by armed robber tomorrow then why not borrow to marry.

Yes you said it, you listened to your sweetheart.

The deal is don't get a loan, if you have no plans of paying back or cant afford it. Why are people so afraid of taking loans? Most sound businesses are built on loans or facilities from banks.

I am sure you see new cars on the road nowdays, because guys can now afford to take loans and buy good cars. The generations before us had to save for years to even afford tokunbo cars, whereas new graduates employed last year are already cruising around in new cars because banks know they have the potentials to pay back.

i wont sit here and argue this with you.  if he was a banker he would never approve such loans to others  because it does not make good lending sence. not even lending on compassionate grounds.

solid economies lend to people and businesses with viable proposals.  check out the economies in trouble at the moment you will find cheap and irresponsible lending and borrowing. it is always boom and borsts economies.  you have seen how much banks need to cover the irresponsible lendings.

i am all for big weddings. i just had one myself but i am seriously against buy now pay later. it is an irresponsible lifestyle. what is wrong in doing small weddings which you can afford? who are they trying to please?

just in case you are not aware money wahala is the number 1 thing that stresses most marriages towards divorce and you know this is how it starts.  who sets the standard of how your marriage should be other than your wallet and brains. what next borrowing to pay dowry?
