That’s just the fact! When I was a bachelor, I know how much I spend and save every month. Fast forward to when I got married, it’s all about bills, bills and bills.

I just checked my OPay transaction history and I couldn’t believe how much I’ve spent in just two months.

This thing called marriage is just responsibility and nothing more. If you are not financially stable or you have other side hustle that bring extra money,please don’t get married.

My 2 cents!

Well for me it's more than responsibilities. If you carry a cross without a glory in focus, you'll burn out..,out of frustration. Goals and purpose make those responsibilities worthwhile.
On the other hand, your companion also matters. If you trek a long distance alone, you'll wear out faster. If you trek with someone, it gets easier. If you trek with a crush, it gets shorter. Its more about the fulfilment than the sacrifices- Talking about what keeps you driving.
I told a friend sometime ago shortly before his wedding that he should raise a number of kids, at a pace he won't see them as liabilities.
If you can fly and maneuver beautifully with one or two, then stick with that and lavish them with the quality of resources you have available.
Marriage is like fire. It either burns you or cooks you and nothing else.
I take responsibility for my kids, I feel the pains but I enjoy what we have.
My wife and I don't plan alone sometimes. Especially when we'll be expecting a guest who'll stay for days. We call the kids together and tell them and ask them what they think.
Sometimes they even suggest the guest comes with his or her child if they have one. I and my wife will look at our budget and tell them we could make the kid come alone without the parent during holls.., its just that.
So for me its goals and glory. Even though it is written man must hustle. That one dey.
In the aspect of bills, you plan to kill some bills. If you buy or build a house, house rent is gone for life.
If that bill is your biggest threat in your marriage, plan to kill it first, even before the kids arrive.
Learn to kills bills. Feeding is an eternal bill. School fees is for an extended period. Long standing ailment could be another. God help us.
My friend just went green two years ago. Started with inverter and a few batteries. Today he's installed solar panels and can run 24/7 without depending on NEPA. Although he stopped using his AC. Only uses it when on generator or NEPA supply once in a while.
This will pay him on the long run.
Enjoy your cross bro. In as much as this your post could discourage intending bachelors, I'll tell you what, the woman you marry is as important as the mum who birthed you. She has the power to ruin you just like mum had the power to have ended you.

Well I'm not against it, if you earn two million in a month I don't think that's too much to pay 1 million per term but imagine someone who earns 400-500k sending his kids to school that costs 700k/term. Although I'm not yet married, paper qualifications are gradually becoming useless. For me summer holidays will be the right time to enroll my kids into Tech schools for the young ones or any other training geared towards learning soft skills.

I was shocked to see the 100k but I restrained myself because fingers are not equal. I am not sure I can do 50k in a month _less than $100. Maybe that is why I am a gold-digger. I wouldn’t like my husband to create thread over 50k a month. 😩

You guys are just been riled up over nothing. Seriously!

And so what if he spends 50k or 20k monthly as a bachelor or married man?

Did he steal from anybody or commit fraud?

Is that not what his pocket can carry or are we going to pretend everyone's finances are the same? undecided

Are all fingers equal Pocohantas, Acidosis, Ishilove?

Is Nigeria not the poverty capital of the world again.

I can relate to this.

Married, no kids yet and I am already getting scared of what will become of me when those kids come.

No regret getting married tho. But sometimes, when you think of the bills, you go just begin de vex unnecessarily.


Adexgentle005:
Exactly what I’m talking about. Thank God I’m not doing salary job, I wonder what would have become of me. All the things I’ve acquired so far like land and all that I got them when I was still a bachelor. Imagine buying land now when I’m married. It’s not just easy at all.

100k? Bro, even when I was in Nigeria sometimes I spent 500k per month on parents and siblings and I wasn't married. I had some side business aside the roughly 360k per month I was earning then.

There is responsibility everywhere. In African coming from a large family can be demanding.

Pls what kind of side hustle would you recommend someone should do?

Bros there are many rich wealthy guys that made there money genuine

Not everyone have there hand into one deep shi.t or the other

Many are making there money in a legit way

Canceling Baba God, is not the way to God because God actually blesses and smiles on ones hustle

But it starts with a clean mind towards your fellow human being

Like you dey do now, tagging all man evil. This kind mindset doesn't breed success cause you may be envying or tagging someone with clean hands, which Almighty no go like

People dey do bad things no means say everybody dey bad. Good people still full

If you develop good mindset, success won't be far away from you because success is actually what can you see. What light, information do you have?
Not just see with just your natural eyes but what patterns can you notice

Success is first from the mind
Once your mind can grasp it, in no distant time it will manifest for real life.

That's the secret of many rich men
They see what others couldn't see and cashed out.

So work on your mind

Nigeria with it's multiheaded wahala is so much filled with opportunities.
Nigeria is a hidden economic global super power. A country with potential to be a 6 trillion dollars economy, only below United States and China, if the resources are channeled well

But because majority of people can't see this, will be complaining, cursing, but those that have seen the potential are already sharpening there knifes to take there share

There is so much opportunities in the entire globe right now, since before man began to exist, but only those with eyes can see it.

Some women are in that marriage for the benefits. Once that is no longer as they projected they will nag and make your life a living hell. 90% of nigerian women believe a man should carry all their responsibility. Even your father won't do that.

A point is coming in Nigeria where divorce rate may get worse than the West own. Also many will be shinning from getting married. Because our women depends so much on men but at same time makes life a living hell for our men

At least women still works for West but here many depends on there men, and still won't appreciate there men's sacrifices, seeing it more as there right.

Wise women support and appreciate there man, which encourages the men to if possible give themselves for there wives and children.

True words bro.but sometimes I wonder how they feel just sitting down and putting all the load on the man. And society will criticize you when you decide you have had enough. Some men are in it for the children if not majority of nigerian women can bring you down with their garbage. Especially if she has a high taste and does not have a job to fund that taste. Na before I wan kill myself with stress. Now I just leave the life as I see am. No matter what u do for them if you like give them 5million last month. The day u don't give them that same amount you go hear word.

You even mentioned you won't be successful to someone who is already successful and can finance all aspect of responsibilities of your generations to come.

Hopefully someday you will grow up and you will also be fortunate enough to understand how life works and what life entails.

There is no marriage in heaven. Your wife and you will have no attachment in heaven as husband and wife. Live your life like heaven is the goal. Do what you can, and leave the ones you can't.

Modern marriage favours women in most cases, as men give the best part of their resources servicing the home and these women in the name of being a man.

Men should pray at all times, never enter marriage only out of emotions and be intentional. If the woman shows the slightest sign of disloyalty, the avoid her.

Remember again that all your marriage expenses, dancing etc will end here on earth. Heaven is the goal, and that should be a man's only focus.

This advice goes to women as well.
