I cannot advise you to marry on those earnings. I say this because even if you do not plan on having children, unless you and your wife use condoms every single time, you may find your self with a child in short order. That money cannot even cover diapers , much less baby clothes, baby food, wipes etc. and it is all uphill from there. You will rapidly become frustrated and miserable.

Unless your hustle brings in significant income, I can’t advise it. Don’t believe all that story of you can live on 30k per month. You will be barely subsisting, and you and your wife will grow old fast

3 bedrooms flat for Anambra is just 35k per year while dat of Kastina is 15k

Thanks, am grateful for sharing your bright mind on this matter. Some of the considerations are, starting life as a young man is comparatively easier than Lag whr my family is based, part of the plan is to make the money here and educate my kids in Lag under the watch of my parents, while they come here for holiday just like boarding school kids.

*Clap for yourself*

If I may ask what is your definition of a good life?
I suppose you're leading a good life right now and it's because you aren't paying your tithe and offering right?

Naanlong01:


Thank you for your contribution sir. Of course am not planning to marry now neither will i continue to earn same amount till the next two years, remember its business and not salary. My question is, to the married men, how much was their monthly saving before going into marriage. And if you are yet to marry, how much would you advise to be my target? Thanks

ekestic1976:


You dey pay tithe and offering! Well, e be like say sufferness never reach your side, bro.

Naanlong01:
I recently turned 29 and i have never felt the reality of settling down like am feeling now. A brief introduction about myself: am the only male child of 3children, my mum almost singlehandedly raised us, though dad is alive and kicking but doesn't really care. I became an entrepreneur a year ago after NYSC.

Current monthly saving is less than 30k after tithe. I have the potential of doubling it before end of next year.

..much .

Casalinda:
Getting married is beautiful and it comes with it own little blessings. But I dnt feel it will be nice settling down with your present income. Well it depend on your location, because it seem accommodations at your location seem cheap and affordable. But dnt settle down yet. Give your self a little more time to grow financially I and I do not support people who bring in kids into this world and are not able to meet those kids needs
Wish you all the best and pray you succeed

pocohantas:


Go and marry biko. I am sure money is not your problem. You are busy screening women upandan.

dhoney007:


These are lovely! please I will love to learn
how can you help me ��

franchasng:
Op, you need to change your dream and vision. You can never achieve what you never dreamed or envisaged. Like Acidosis rightfully said, you need to dream a bit higher than what you narrated if you want to give your future family a deserving life free from the same family poverty cycle peculiar with Nigerian families.

I will suggest you raise your age mandate for settling down to 33 or 34yrs to enable you have a hold of your financial life first. Continue on your entrepreneurship pathway but keep applying for better paying paid jobs to enable you save up and gain more experience you can apply in your future business dealings.

Your words touched me....you come of as a determined young man who found himself in the rat race of black African nation with stupid leaders which I am sure you contributed in electing. May God help you

GeneralPula:
See as this guy man dey plan ahead for these hoes that ain’t worth it. Okay, Good luck


Me, I just dey here dey rock this song;

Hopsin- Hotel in Sydney... not really bro, he will definitely marry long last. He will surely marry his wife by his grace.you will definitely marry too. Won't you

nanizle:


Why do you pay tithe?

ornicus:


Maybe because I am/was salaried, I do not think of saving towards marriage. Rather, I would say your income should reach a level. Your marriage is not a one off. It is a revolving expense. In 2003, I was earning 29k. I did not get married. In 2005, I was earning 50k . I did not get married. I then got a job paying. 150k, and I was married in 6 months. If course one can still lose a job, I do not look at marriage, which should last a life time, and which will ideally yield kids as something you save towards. Maybe I’m wrong.

metrosexual:
Just set an age when you intend to get married, before this time achieve some financial flexibility according to the means you can live with.

Mr A's level might be having at least 200k in savings and a one bed room house before marriage.

Mr B's level might be having at least 3 million naira savings, a car and a 3 bedroom flat before marriage.

Just pick a level of reach you know can fit your life.

Lastly, don't listen to those ignorant folks who would tell you that just marry now, other things would come later, alot of marriage folks are suffering in silence and hiding under the useless pride of being called "married".

wristbangle:


Naanlong1, please ignore this statement. There is blessing when you are a tither as it paves way when situation becomes tough

Seanteewhy:
Put all your savings on sure 2 odd after 2 years and thank me later

franchasng:
This is why black African nations, especially Nigeria is so backward and poverty infested the way it is today....it is this stupid mentality of marrying with the hope of getting lucky even without plans.


Don't plan your life on luck, if not, life will teach you a sad lesson, be careful.....have a defined goal and financial plan/stability before you go into marriage if not, you will likely be producing children that will continue with the black African nation rat race of struggling to survive everyday and migrating to anywhere they hear about just to make ends meet, be warned!


Marriage is not compulsory if you as the man and your would-be wife are not financially okay to take care of a happy home

gurunlocker:
Did you say 50k for 2 bedroom flat?


I want to know your village o....

Youngzedd:



Even in my village you can't get this your 35k.

3 bedroom apartment in Onitsha, Anambra state ranges from 180,000 - 360,000 NGN.

In Onitsha, you can barely see face me I face you for 35k.

Bbbwings:
Self con where I dey na 115k

Grupo:


He has been tithing yet earns 30k a month.

Many of us don't tithe, don't even believe in your God yet we earn that 30k in a day most times.

So where is the blessing?

Only an ultra foolish African believes that handing his money over to a pastor charlatan would make him rich.
