So I went to see an old friend today that I hadn't seen in like 20 years or so. We attended the same primary school. He is married with kids now, and has a great job. So, we got talking and then he asked if I was married, and when I said no, he was shocked. I told him money was an issue, and he told me that at the time he married his wife 4 years ago, he was only earning 18k. My jaws dropped to the ground. How is it possible to marry with an income of 18k a month in this Lagos?


My friend went on to tell me he knew he was taking a risk at the time, but immediately after the wedding, things turned around for him. He got his current job, and his financial status changed almost overnight.


So, guys, I ask this question- can you marry with a salary of 18k? And girls, can you marry a guy who earns 18k?

I am interested in knowing how he achieved that, pls go back and ask? Knowing will help many

With 18k I will help manage the home by taking drastic measures such as the following

1. No Internet Data
2. No DSTV
3. No weave-on
4. No make-ups
5. No spending on friviolities
6. Look for the cheapest market and buy food stuff en bulk
7. Setup a backyard garden to cater for some food stuff needs.
8. Get involved in church activities
9. Thrown shame away to the bin and embrace free distributions from churches and NGOs

I swear from the 18k and all the above, I will save at least 1k or more per month.

What takes most of our income is largely because we spend more on friviolities than essentials. Our parents were not millionaires when they got married naa

talk is easy my sister!



There will come a time when you will suddenly realise love alone is not enough!

On the present economic condition it wil b difficult, 50K earners wil find it difficult to get married nt to talk of those on 18K.
Bt on a commendable note, if wat u just said its from ur hrt I must say dat u r a rare specie among ladies, a gud manager of resources nd a dream lady for any man. Thumps up!

I got marry at the age of 26yrs with with the minimum salary of N16540. as a class teacher, and now i have two kids boy and girl. i manage N24765 and i only used N15000 to buy food stuff dor i live in a rural area got a small business

Op do you mean 18 thousand naira Or 18 thousand pounds?

I pray say na so you dey for real life oh...

Forget that thing, with genuine love what do I need again? No darn friends to mislead you or you envying just me and my hubby.

We ladies problem starts when we watch too many Telenovelas and we start getting good emotional... It's only real when there's no love dear.

With genuine love, I don't need no Linda Ikeji's blog or Bella Naija or Toke Makinwa's vlog or Kim Kardashian's family etc to be happy, I will need just my husband for that.

My husband too if he reciprocate the gesture, he will be happy too but if he starts 'owning' premiership teams, de follow bet9ja or Messi about e go spoil all thing.

honestly same train of thought when I saw the DP...will we judge a book by its cover? hmmm only God knows!

That is usually the problem.... wedding ceremonies takes most of the financial resources of the couple. Cut that out I tell you most couples wld survive even on less.

Marriage shouldn't be seen as a fund raising ceremony or competition amongst friends on whose was well attended or most beautiful or regal. It should be more of loving each other.

Someone asked about paying hospital bills for giving birth, Trust me it would sort itself out when it's time. Be not afraid.

Do tell me at what salary range would be ideal to get married and tell me if at this rate we will ever achieve that rise.

Fela once sang about the worker trying to buy fan. This guy saves everything he can afford to buy a fan at 50 naira then. When he was almost meeting his target, price of fan skyrocketed and the cycle goes on and on.

At no time will it be adequate until u take the bull by the horn and get married on the level you're o

Hmm! Sad truth. So, those that mean a girl would prefer to marry a financially okay guy she doesn't love, than to marry a struggling guy she loves?

bigtt76:
How much was Adam earning when God gave him a wife? No amount is too small to get married on. Just pray for a loving and caring wife with God all things are possible.

joke of the year, joke of the century, loving and caring wife sounds good to my ear

Okay. So, the 24k is your salary, how much do you get from your business?

Caringguy:

18 thousand Naira a month. I wish this thread can get to frontpage...I need more opinions on this.

Read his post, he claims to spend only N1500 monthly on food for a family of four

Go and work harder bro


It will be stupid for any girls to open her eyes and Walk into POVERTY.
Things have changed, your friend married during GEJ administration (£112) per barrel but now things have changed.

Maybe he meant 15,000. I saw the 1,500 and couldn't wrap my head around the reality of that, cos I went to the market myself today, and I know how much I spent, even though I was trying to manage money o! See one small chonkolo tin of ata gingu (dry pepper) for 200 Naira. I wanted to cry.

bigtt76:

Lol.... what's the tongue for

The answer my friend is blowing in the winds.

Godmother, what do you have to say?

Hmmm, I wouldnt advice it o, except the lady is working herself and you both know things will turn for good soonest. In marriage, there are serious bills to be paid, weekly or monthly and if you can't meet up frustration and quarrels may set in
