Can anyone help benchmark the expenses of this expecting family of three?




When Kunle received the whatsapp picture of the ultrasound scan from his wife RIta, he didn't know what he was looking at. After all, this was their first pregnancy. They had gotten married September 2022, and moved into a One bedroom self-contain apartment at Mende Maryland. It was close enough to his office in Yaba, and close to her cake shop in Ikeja.

In February of this year, Rita began to panic after seeing her menses again. Six months, No preganancy. They began having sex every single day. Two months later in April, Rita got pregnant and began attending ante-natal clinic. Two weeks ago, she did her first obstetric ultra sound scan which revealed the presence of two gestational sacs. That was the picture she sent to kunle. Finally. they were expecting children. Even better, twins.

It was evident that the self-contained apartment would no longer be enough for their emerging family of two parents and two boys. So they began hunting for a much larger apartment.

They found two bedroom apartments in Surulere for over a million. That was[b] 600,000 naira more[/b] than they were paying in Mende, Maryland. Whilst hunting for cheaper alternatives and trying to negotiate directly with the Landlord, in June this year, the fuel prices rose to over N500 per liter. Their current Landlord and the new landlord reviewed their rents by 50%.

In her cake shop, Rita began facing a new challenge. Since January, the price of a bag of wheat flour she used for baking kept increasing every week by N500. Between January and March, it rose from N18,000 to N24,500. When fuel prices rose, the cost of her food inputs rose. Kunle had to park his 05 corolla sports at home and go by danfo. Their discretionary income has fallen. Kunle and Rita could not afford to pay for the new apartment. "I realise that we might have to stay in this self-contained apartment for much longer than we planned", Rita says.
