For me is 5 million nd have your house and a car shikena I'm not that demanding

U will old pass your mother before you marry. dey dia make pant dey wear you

Bahddo:
you aren't financially wise, that's why you think one has to spend 300k in recurring expenses every month just because they have a baby. Are you planning to have surgery every month?

You probably don't earn up to half of that but you can easily spend it in less than a month. Baby or not, no man who wants to grow financially should have you around. You are wasteful.

did i type "every month"?
I meant both the man and woman should have more than that amount before getting married

favoryte33:
Imagine stirring at your account balance & nodding your head saying to yourself, now I am ready for marriage.

How much do you think would give you that 'ginger' to propose to your girl? Abeg I no dey talk of "give girl belle & marry".

....it's not about the money. I am all for happiness and peace thereafter. Anyway, I did with just #20,000 in 2011. The love then is still the love now with pretty fruits.....

Blu03:
i get your point now.
I meant having a family. If a couple wants to do that, they be financially buoyant.
Regarding your last point, i doubt if thats what the op meant...
If so, like i pointed out earlier, the 300k would be more than enough.

the OP literally has WEDDING pics in his post. There are also terms like 'propose', and nothing like 'having babies'.

5m minumum... as at now... with a steady income of at least 150 to 200k minimum.


Don't jump into marriage if you don't have a Job... be warned!!!

Bahddo:
what does your husband get to benefit from your money-obsessed self? Planning to become another liability wife, who is content with just spending her husband's money?

Hey dear, I'm not like your mother.
I pay my own bills.
I've my shito business which is over a year now.
I wrote a book at 19 which is selling at so many book stores online and offline.
With all these, I work as a journalist in the biggest media house in my country.
I'm not your size so mind who you talk to.
I'm not your mother. Be guided.

i knew i was ready for marriage when one of my account had 1.4m way back and i have three other accounts couple with the fact that our estimate was not up to 2m...sharply like joke we started the prep and the rest is history.....but i must say since i got married and kids and all that...those account has stayed in the red region most times and even when they try to rise, rent,fees,car repair etc keep wiping off the green to leave the red light hahahahahahaha simply put i have never been as "comfortable" as i was before marriage....marriage is sweet because of kids, freedom frm guilt of sex etc but the bills is alarming!

this really define the op question..

women too should work and have some savings,no be give me,give me always,naija women should learn to support their spouse.

Money is happiness and happiness is money.
You can't enjoy marriage without money, love doesn't feed us or pay the bills.
So that makes money very necessary.

100millions and am close by God's grace

Our system is solely on money money,what's is money? Live within your means and see the full essence of life,which is happiness.

Blu03:
let us be realistic tho, financial security is a very important factor. Money would influence the level of happiness in the relationship. Life is complex. That 300k wouldn't be enought to start up a family with at least three members.
The child's basic welfare, feeding, education, health care, etc. Apart from maturity, both physical and emotional, money is another solid foundation on which a decent marriage would built.

blaskikv:
You can marry with any amount, is just that both parties tend to be selfish, materialistic and have high expectations of the other partner

tru. ur expectations defines the kind of wedding or marriage you see for ursef.

Blu03:
no. Read my other comment..
I believe in being financially independent. Not an attractive quality here in Africa, but that's me.
My mum was a widow with no backup. Even tho she married a 'worse than poor' man. If she had something doing, our lives would have been different...
If something bad is gonna happen to me in the future, i want as a mother, for my husband to be stable enough to give my kids the life they deserve.

That's if i choose to do something crazy as getting married.

Thanks!

'a worst than poor man'?
And that was supposed to be you father.
Hmm, Some children will not make heaven

UyaiIncomparabl:
There's no particular amount of money that ever makes one ready. If you're in with the right person with just 300, 000 naira, marriage will be bliss. You people should stop attaching happiness to money. Money is only a means to an end.

Madam, u mean 300 tazan 4 acct abi job dat pays 300 naira monthly?

You don't need to have millions in your account,first thing to have is a roof over your head which must be comfortable for you and your spouse,second is a stable income regardless ,third is understanding between you and your supposed spouse not to do more than normal wedding.Above all seek God's guidance ,believe it or not there are blessings associated with wedding and you will be surprised things will just fall in place before the wedding day.[color=#770077][/color]

Very good. A lot of kids here don't understand this. One even asked what is money?

proclinician:


Is it in ur account or another person's?

In my account.

maynation:

In my account.

Lol you're lucky.

proclinician:


Lol you're lucky.

I didn't say I have it. I said that's how much I will have before considering marriage.

I understand

You're lucky u didn't say a man must have that i for report u to amotekun now.

proclinician:


So a man should have 5m cash then a house and a car before marriage while you just have nothing? I tell you what. I achieved same before my induction except the house and ever since, fate has been throwin across girls like you and i do really well crushing them big time. One picked a job as a sales girl pay is 50k big nonsense. I told her i can't marry a woman with nothing less than 1m cash and her own apartment and earning not less than 150 a month, tough, she's going to lose i don't feel sorry, i dont love, she doesnt mind. She just wrote NDLEA exam and is praying things work out. I wish all men can be like me cold, blunt, and a maestro of their game.

MrBrownJay1:
zero dinero... if you can take care of yourself AND date a babe with no money in your bank, then you can marry her with that same exact amount.

Interesting

life experience
i have an uncle who said,
if he dont build a house and buy a car he won't marry.
my brother,before he realise he was at ;'54;'
he marry 2years back
and within that period of marriage
he is almost completing his building
with a yoyota corola... now
so u dont have to wait until millions arrive before
marring, but just have something doing....

travelland:


He who finds a wife, FINDS A GOOD THING AND OBTAINS FAVOR FROM THE LORD.

not in this century....he who find a wife found problems....that is the quote for this generation!

Blu03:
i've addressed this before.
I love making my own cash...

Please keep making it so that u can save up for ur wedding

wunmi590:
Honestly, if you are waiting to have billions in your account before you get married, you will grow old.

Modified:

I wanted to wait for me to have certain amount of money, but I couldn't wait any longer, at least I have a job paying me weak 6digit as salary, and my fiancee work in government establishment and also has a sewing shop.

So my wedding is April 17 &18 2020.

God will crown my effort with other family things I pray for.

No time abeg

Amen...that's my birthday

Lalas247:

Keep deceiving the guy

He made sense, steady or improving source of income is enough for many people to go into marriage. Not everyone will have opportunity to save millions before marriage
