What Percentage Of Your Income Should You Not Exceed On Your Partner? by kcay: 11:46am On Nov 27, 2019
So guys, as we all know, November will be wrapping up in a few days. For some, pay-day has come and gone, while for others, prolly today - that's if bank network doesn't fail, tomorrow, in a few days, the middle of December or till when your Boss reason your side. My bad, lol.

Now jokes aside, some of us know it is that time of the month when Amaka, Sandra, Bola, Sandra, Blessing, Aishat etc will be expecting some Naira/Dollar/Pounds/Euro in their account for "upkeep" as it is the usual practice every month, or to get that bag or gown she told you about some days ago which you will be required to respond to, right?

Once in a while, we need to commit financially to our relationships. However, we should know when to put a limit so we do not become victims of bankruptcy for some ladies who believe you need to break the bank or buy the world for them whenever they ask to prove that you really love and care about them (Scam!).

Although, there are some special events, occasion, or maybe life-threatening emergencies that may require you to break your monthly limit for your girlfriends/partner, nonetheless, in my opinion, I think guys shouldn't exceed 10% of their "Fixed Income" on their girlfriends. 5% - 7.5% I think is ideal.

On a N100,000 salary, do not exceed N10,000 monthly.
On a N500,000 salary, do not exceed N50,000 monthly.
And so on...

By the way, when I mean fixed income, I am referring to salary/wage - something you are certain of receiving every month.

I personally don't think guys should give a percentage of their variable incomes - incomes from the side jobs they engage in. This is because when the variable income stops being consistent like it used to before, you will hear some ladies say things like "He has changed, he doesn't take care of me like he used to". A few others are different though.

In your opinion, what percentage will you recommend? Please share.

Lol.. I said do not exceed.

If you are prudent enough, all you could do 2k or maybe 1k for shawarma.

I meant you mustn't exceed 10k.

remind you.

the same money you are westing that you think is not money because it is 10% of earning..

is the same percent that has making many men wealth in this world today

I was Reading a story of a billionaire that invest $100 20 years ago and that same investment is worth 9billion dollars

work hard and smart and became rich

after you become rich the will be the one looking for you.

by than they will see you as the price

because they are self dependent



if you marry a loser as a wife you will end up a loser

If you are in a serious relationship, nothing is to much for your partner that you claim to love, just use your brain.

Hmm! How can you say that and still tell him to use his brain? Brain that is in conflict with the heart when it comes to financial decisions?




Anyway, I feel it is should be a percentage of what you would spend on your own enjoyment, not a percentage of your total fixed income.

For example, I may decide that I’m spending 20k on personal enjoyment this week. Whatever I spend on bae is a percentage of that 20K. Say 10%. grin

No dipping into the main income except if she asks for a loan.

This mentality is never a two way street. One usually provides more than the other and that lack of balance always leads to resentment.
