40 k a month? My friend sort out your life first before end up in perpetual penury, do you know how much it takes to feed and clothe children? You want to get married simply because it feels good, forgetting the fact that there are consequences. This isn't 1920 when every man had a village and taking care of the family meant going to the farm early enough to work. This is 2010, you have rent costs, schools costs, entertainment costs and all what not. Evildoers are here advising you to go ahead with your marriage on a 40k salary, don't make that mistake. Think well before you act, calculate your current expenses and potential expenses after you get married and see how it all pans out. The wedding alone is enough to leave you indebted for the next 6 years ( you know Nigerians  and their "big eye", they don't do small weddings).

Plan your life and become financially stable before you get married. Don't let love," vision" from your pastor or your woman's pressure trap you into something you regret later.

A good woman can manage 40,000.00 and still have balance. Let me give u a rough stimate of monthly spending

1. Transportation for a month = 5000
2 Feeding = 15000
3. Monthly house rent = 5000
4. tithe = 4000
And others
This is an overestimation of what 40k can achieve.
It is possible that if more carefully managed , the salary is more than enough for husband and wife. Out of it they can make savings and plan for there unborn children's education.
My brother, it is manageable until God enlarges your coast

@VPG,

There are understanding good women out there. The problem is that most men are greedy and tend to look for women with physical features that are pleasing to their eyes and forget about the character. How come some men are happy with their women? An individual would always show their character. Efi ni iwa. The problem is that we are blindly and foolishly in love. Some men earning 40k or less per month would be chasing after a woman who adds to her wardrobe every month or a woman who is not ready to contribute to the building of her home (not house o). Tell me, do you think that relationship would last? If you marry the right person, you can live together happily with any income even in this century.

From all i have read, the woman is a major factor. but hw many women these days are willing to work with their husbands on 40k per mnth? now  ladies ans this "WILL U MARRY A MAN THAT EARNS 40K PER MONTH?"
