you are assuming everyone there is in financehuh
They collect bribes everywhere, so they are all earning more than their salaries. They share the proceeds of bigger thefts to all staff to make them happy, otherwise they wouldn't get so much collusion and there would be no corruption. They don't need to be in finance to get the proceeds of money theft.

A thread was created by blessedmercy asking if it would be wise to settle down with a man that earns 100k and all she got was insults and jabs from guys, like seriously?

Should a guy who earns 100k think of marriage or how to double his hustle ? Why are most guys unrealistic, can 100k fend and cater for yourself alone.

Please I’ll want those who think it’s ok to come break it down for us on how the 100k will be managed monthly, I maybe learning a whole lot from this. Thanks
If a lady thinks #100k is too small to start a life with a guy,then no amount will be sufficient for her start a life with any man. It shows that she is a gold-digger. Before i conclude, let us ask her how much her father was earning when he married her mother.

This one too much na ..

I know a guy earning 26k monthly and the wife is doing nothing
...and they are still together
no matter how much you want to defend the bolded, it’s practically IMPOSSIBLE to survive solely on 26k monthly Without tips and support from other source..


I can argue this all days with you .


The worst the man will spend daily is 500 naira
The word find lady will spend daily is 500 naira

With family in this present economy , no matter where you’re living , you can’t survive with ONLY 26k with your wife!!!

As a woman or lady ( as if you know what it means), what is your won contribution to the relationship?

It takes more than sex to keep a marriage or longterm relationship.

You must bring something tangible to the table.

Stop the entitlement mentality, if you think your boobs or overused pusseyy is enough think again, your man will grow tired of your.

It is the tangible thing you bring in the relationship that strengthens it. If you dont have anything tangible (other than your expired holes) to offer in a relationship then join your sisters in the convent.

Solely plan on the 100k first before thinking of what the other person brings to the table. Any man with such “bring to the table” mindset does not go far in life, let’s be realistic for once.
Lols it is well.
You left some important parts of the scenario put, where do they intend to stay after marriage? How much is the wife earning? What’s the future prospect for both of them in terms of their career or chosen field of expertise?
What’s the agreement in terms of money related issues?
Now I’ll use Lagos for example with a six years ago story with my wife before we got married. Our combine income wasn’t even more than 120K so we calmed down on many things as we were both in our early 20s, graduates, done with nysc, I have my business in building as jobs I got look more like I’ll spend a decade to earn above 200k while my wife was a contract staff for a commercial bank.
We got our first apartment when we already fixed the date for our wedding from a close family who was leaving the apartment that way we didn’t pay agreement and the rent was just 200K then for a self contained wing( that’s a sitting room and two bedrooms completely en-suite around ojuelegba).
Where have I been staying before then? Professional squatter with friends, cousins, uncles that we are close and I run my business from any point as they were early days of e-commerce.
My wife kept pushing to become a full staff and I kept pushing all profits back into my business.
We had our wedding three months after renting a place together and furnishing it. It was grand as we had friends who know people that are pro in those segments so we spent far below market price for most vendors and we never borrowed a dime. You bring any idea our question will be will you take care of the bills and pay the vendor for us as a gift? If it’s a No biko stfu no pressure me.
Within six months of our marriage she finally got the promotion to a full staff with a relocation clause which we decided together. My business had evolved and I don’t need to show up there anymore but kick start the process and the rest will fall in place.
We had our own agreement on financing the home as whatever each individual earn belongs to both of us so nothing like this is my money and this is your money or I handle 70% while you handle 30%. We have access to each other account and nobody cares who makes the higher income. We are still accountable to each other when it’s a major project we plan to do and none of us is an impulse buyer.
Conditions are peculiar to every relationship and there is no perfect yardsticks to it.
I can categorically say it that most of my wife friends can’t understand why she settled down for me because I can categorically tell you while we are dating we probably went out twice as money no dey but she knew what she saw in me, I wasn’t lazy and I had goals which are crazy to believe looking at my background and reality but funny enough we have exceeded those goals years ago. We have made new goals that are crazier and we are pursuing together as a family.
Watch and pray.
There are no yardsticks for marriage

Stop being unrealistic, your 92K can't do anything.

For example, I tell you I want to make my hair and I need 10-15k, would you count that as "ridiculous demands"?
you can make a very beautiful hair with 5k cut your damn cloth according to your damn size!.. besides, If you were my woman , things like that are not my responsibility o. I can only give you if I have excess or feel like.. don’t u think it’s shameful thing for you as a lady if you can’t take care of your basic needs ni?.


My core responsibilities as a man to my family is to provide shelter, food, school fees of my children and health insurance .. Every other thing , I’m less concerned including my in law needs.

I paid a brother of mine a visit this afternoon and I must confess the young man is doing well despite having 6 soldiers to feed (kids) funny enough his salary is slightly above 100k
Your mindset as a man and the understanding of the woman plays an important role in rising ur family
100m monthly may not sustain a family if wisdom is not applied
May God see us thru
you people forget that most people don’t rely 100% on salary .. how can your brother maintain slightly above 100k ( let’s say 120k) with 6 children… how how ?? Are they living in zamfara?

Problem with nowadays ladies is that they don't look at the bigger picture. Why not intuitively ascertain the man's ambitions and his willingness to elevate. But no, all they do is asking what he earns monthly like one of my ex girlfriend was asking me. After my own observations I decided to end the relationship, she came back asking for us to continue. You think it's all money-money, till you meet the man that has all the money but missing the Numero Uno traits of a partner. Money is important, but look out for other important traits, knowing the man is willing to work his way out of penury and believing in him as you work together as a team. As he earns 100k, earn even if it's 50k or something. Contribute as well...

I was earning 60k when I met my wife while she was earning 180k, and I did not even know back then, I told her what I earn and she said we can make it work, through are connections in the teaching line, I was able to get a teaching job at festac for 130k and she later got a job of 260k for same festac, she was the one planning the relationship when I was earning 60k and she never complained about anything, I so much respected her because she made the relationship and the marriage so beautiful because she did not do unnecessary billings and always there to even cover my shame when I don't have much on me. Ladies of nowadays should learn how to help their men not turning them to poverty alleviation programs, if you pops can't get it for you when still young, why do you now put pressure on another man's son to do it for you?

It is high time men realized that love is not the first consideration of a woman in a relationship but SECURITY and self PRESERVATION. If these factors are in place then love will follow, that's why the OP is asking for this so-called analysis. Women are HYPERGAMOUS in nature and always very strategic in thinking. Men for their peace of mind should read a book by KARA KING titled "POWER OF THE PUSSY" .

Let's be realistic, if you want to wait until you double your hustle, you may be 50 before you get married.

If the man has 100k what does the lady have to support the man?...

Relationship or marriage like every other business is being built. While it's good to marry someone who's financially stable, the questions we should be asking shouldn't be about money.

One should focus on, what's his vision and perception of things? Does he have the abilities to manage little resources and turn it around? Where do I see him five, six years from now?

I get turned off when ladies ask, so, you earn this little... If you tell me this as a guy, it's over between us. Marriage as a union isn't a retirement plan or a quick get rich platform. It's loads of investment

In addition, marriage has no particular formula. Just sticks to the one that works for you both. One of the concern of the op is taste. Your choice of taste determines whether 100k or even 300k can be managed. It's had no particular planning or way around it. If you're earning 100k monthly, you can can marry and be very happy, but you must do away with some high taste items and expenses and go for your needs.

Plan your earnings according to your needs not your wants. Also, don't compare man with others. Most Nigerians earns 100k and less, yet, they're progressive, it may not be exponentially, arithmetically, yes

Most of these toxic men here are in their 20’s , it’s never a good thing to date a Nigerian man in his 20’s , they’ll choke and suffocate you. So much immaturity reeks all over them.
No problem. Me I can cook really good. Infact it's an hobby, even to clean my house and do housework, I do that. Is it not our my house again? I'll bath my kids, babysit him/her, that's been a good father/husband.

But will you bring your own money to the table? Let me make it clear. Personally I don't look at a woman's money, but I want to know that she is capable of earning and won't be selfish with it when it comes to the family affair.

Because I'm a provider man doesn't mean I want an unproductive woman. It's like a bus driver, it's advisable for the conductor to know how to drive. Hence plane has two pilots, just in case, you never know.

So if I handle house rent, health insurance, car wahala, and basically everything even food, can you at least be able to buy the kids new clothes, take them out periodically, and not call me for every time Maggi and palm oil finish?

If this is your understanding of marriage, then I think we are on the same page. Because lots of times, we weongly assume the others as enemies without listening and understanding where they are coming from.

If men say they want a woman to contribute, it doesn't have to be 50/50 of course, infact it's more like 80/20, where they handle the big bills and she handle the smaller ones, of course exceptions applies during pregnancies for example, but yea.

Now here is my contribution, well unless if you are thinking of an expensive life Ofcos.

If u earn 100k monthly, and living with your wife for instance, I spent 50k on food items monthly depending on Wat runs out, I give my wife 20k to save for house keep and I save 20k as reserve, 10k goes as transportation expense for the month. Do you see how it works for me.
