For a family of 5, that comes to 8k/week for each person.

I can believe it as I spend about 195k/month to run my home (foodstuff,rent, repairs,school fees, miscallenous). And we are 5 in number as well.

This is minus fueling of cars and cost of solar/generator. I solely carry this one.
It's well sir, the Lord is your strength, that money alone is more than more monthly salary o.

I was opportune to work with oando at my early life and made my first millions in my early 20's and I was reckless with the money I was making being a Single guy,I buy unnecessary things, spend unnecessarylly on women and things that doesn't matter but one of my brother back then noticed my life and advise me to go and get myself a good girl and get married fast forward to 6 years later i was transferred to Nnsuka in Enugu state and after 1 year I got married after that I noticed that

What I used in eating in a day is enough to make soup and eat for 3 days with my wife and 2 kids
My wife wash our clothes and I iron them that saves me on laundry.

I spend less on women and friends because they know that I'm married and don't bring their responsibility to me anymore,above all you will definitely manage what you have because of your family responsibility

The bold is very very true!
But this apply to singles doing well sha
