Why not marry her and let her stay in her parents house till she gets a job.

30,000 naira will do, as far as you have rich guy men neighbours that will be fucking your jobless wife in exchange for a BB torch and Brazillian hair when you leave for your motherfucking 30k job. Big fool

Guy,there is no need to be afraid of anything.I have seen so many guys that earn below the salary u mentioned that have married and are doing well.Marriege money,but is how maturely u can plan ,handle and manage urself. Even if u have N20,000 as ur salary it depends on what i told u above.Guy as far as the lady has agreed,u can go ahead,there is no problem,i am telling u the reality.

@OP,
The kind of man whose marriage would survive on 30K will not have access to Nairaland to ask your type of question

@OP,

It's very possible.
Do not despise that little begining.
You only need to work harder and
Encourage your wife-to-be to find something doing
While she awaits a white collar job, She could pick up a teaching job, or develop her vocational career to support the family

Peradventure, you choose to wait till you earn much more, do you know how long you might have to wait?

Seize every opportunity to get going, you won't earn that amount 30k forever

Get started with your wedding plans, go ahead and in a matter of time, it would be a history!

Alot of people have waited and are till waiting till they have sufficient fund for wedding, the sad thing is that the OLDER they become, too!.

You can marry but make sure you dont have kids cos you just want to introduce innocent kids to poverty early in life

on average, how much do you save in a month?

@OP, Marriage is a matter that has to do with time factor. If your're due for marriage, get married. Many people married when the going was tough financially, and today they're living fine. My brother is a living testimony. You can't get accurate advice here or there as far as financial aspect in marriage is concerned. Listen, what advice do you want a man/woman who can't enter into matrimony with income of 80 or 100k to give you? Nairaland is full of kids who still collect monthly allowance from their parents, and in many cases, they collect far above your 30k per month. What advice do you want them to give you? Many couple entered marriage with less than 30k nowadays. What you need to do is to discuss the issue with your fiancee to see if she is physically, emotionally and psychologically ready as things are now for you both. In addition, a little more sincerity is expected on the posters of this kind of thread in the sense that more info is required to help people advise you better. Such as your age, your fiancee's age, your location (city), etc. After all, we're all anonymous here.

You could choose to wait until your income waxes substantially.

Dear Leomax,

Please, stop cursing and insulting the poster. If somebody ask you, guys, for advice, please provide the advice in a respectful manner. Anyway, the way one talk or comment proves one`s attitude, age, and maturity. If you are able to make more than 30k a month, give thanks to God because you are oppoturned to make  more than that. If you are making 300,000k or $5,000 a month, you may lose the job anytime and live a worse life. The poster should follow his mind. Nobody is able to see tommorrow. Learn to respect others regardless the age.

when suffer start now, una go begin blame Boko haram

Of course, N30,000 is possible but will not be easy. First you and your wife must be disciplined and cut your coat according to your size. The wedding should be modest, invite a few people that matter for your wedding. N80,000 will be enough for such a wedding. Your problem could be the traditional marriage. However, if you are low on budget you must not do everything, just the introduction and wedding.

If you are earning N30,000 make sure your wife is not still a student who you have to be spending money to train but someone who has completed NYSC and hence viable financially so that she could start contributing to the family. It is also important to avoid shallow ladies and go for ladies with mature minds.

Both of you should manage, but you must also aim for higher things. There are married people surviving on less than N30,000. The important thing is not to live above your means. Look for a modest accommodation, buy food in-bulk instead of in small quantity. For example a bag of rice is cheaper in the long run compared to cups, the same goes for other food stuffs and FMCGs.

Remember that what counts at the end of the day is not how much you earn but how much you save and how wisely you invest your little savings to create other income streams.

Do not mind people telling you to wait until your situation improves except if you are still young (less than 30 years). If you are already 35 or more and still earning N30,000, you have nothing to wait for especially if their is a worthy lady in the picture.

@OP

Have you ever thought of court wedding too? You can do it with 5000 Naira. Invite a few people, fetch a barrister and get it done.

Next, if you must thank somebody for something, instead of buying red wine (eg. Eva, Calypso, Cocktailz), try giving them Aromatic Schnapps: it's cheaper, i think it goes for 150 Naira now.

Next, don't climb bike unnecessarily. If you must go to work before 8am, try waking up very early and start trekking. If the place is that far, trek a reasonable distance before entering preferably keke(it's cheaper than bike)

Also, don't buy kerosene from black market; buy only from NNPC Mega Station at 50 naira only. Or you may even try using firewood to cook.

Next, when the child starts coming, teach them the art of bead-making: beads which you'll later sell for more income; it's called child support and it's legal and safer than child hawking.

Next, uproot all flowers in your compound and plant "commercial leaves" or vegetables like green, 'ugu' or bitter-leaf. You may even sell them when they're in surplus so as to supplement your income.

Also, buy needle and threads, whenever your clothes tore, use it and patch them up: avoid tailors for now.

Next, buy more of 'okirika' clothes instead of those ready-made clothes. Yeah you know, OK clothes last longer and costs less.

Finally, while your wife is still searching for work, she should engage herself in the morning by frying and selling Akara and Bread.

Thank me later! [/b]

@ForeignBoy
lolol, you responded as if it's the poster's fault for earning such amount of money!

It's not his doing! It's the ill society that we find ourselve! And, mind you there are many more graduates whose salaries are within the said amount. Yes, it's pathetic! But, what can they do? Sadly, some CEOs pay their graduate workers same ridiculous amount of money because they know that most of them got nowhere to go nor got anything to fall back to, especially due to present unemployment crisis.

My opinion is that regardless of what anyone earns at the end of the month, our lives can be brigthened, we should learn to cut our coat according to our cloth! The poster should seize every opportunity to improve on himself and be diligent t his work. Yes! With 30k, you can make things happen, if you've got a very supportive wife and family.

Mind you, the much-talked about minimum wage for government worker is 18k, so 30k is still much better off and life must be lived, life must go on, until things turn around for good,


#and who says things can't go better even after your wedding? Oh! Ye short-sighted men.

The poster can still bring children into the N30,000/Month game. They'll use nappies instead of pampers, plenty of watery pap instead of baby food, and as early said by some pple, they'll live one room face me I slap u, so the kids could grow very strong on time, plenty of local herbs (agbo olomo).

Advantages:
Kids will grow to start walking and talking quickly
U can take advantage of Face me Face u of borrowing anything from matches, to salt, pepper, kerosine, wife & children will watch movies for another neighbor's room, etc

Disadvantages:
If somebody slap u, u can quickly return ur own slap without much effort
Ur wife can get bleeped by a better neighbor when u've gone to work
If u r cooking by ur door step, within a split second u r out of view, ur pot could get missing,
plenty things u've already experienced while growing up.

Cheers!
