It Is Normal And Expected For 20 Something Year old Men To Be Broke by Ibrahim1985(op): 5:09am On Apr 20
Many modern women in their twenties see young men in their 20s as broke. They miss out on serious potential husband because they cant date a broke guy. What do one expect? Even a well earned respected cardiologist was a student when he was in his twenties. Most male students generally are not rich expect he is a successful yahoo guy. Many men in their twenties are still looking for work or at the very beginning of their career. So yes , he is expected not to have money and be broke. The only set of men who are rich in their 20s are professional footballer, famous musicians or actors or a rich man whose is from a wealthy family or someone who is into smuggling hard illegal drugs.

Do not confuse broke as lazy or irresponsible, please know the differences. Just because he is broke, does not mean his condition is permanent.

The moment you start giving a f**k about what people say about you, is the moment you stop owing your life. Even Nigeria as a country with her vast mineral, natural, and human resources is broke.

If not for yahoo at 20+ being broke is normal, because you are at the skill acquisition, and future positioning phase of your life.

Its not broke.
Within that age range you don't have financial power to raise a family or taking part in major responsibilities.

I did a research. The truth is, men actually start gaining useful incomes from 40s

Being broke doesn't mean a guy is irresponsible; there are actually broke guys with potentials. Dating while broke is fine, but the idea of people proceeding to marriage while they are financially unstable is irresponsible. Personally, I can't be broke and consider marriage.

I don't have an issue with just dating a broke guy. I recall a guy I once considered dating. He had just finished university and was preparing for his NYSC, so he wasn't financially stable at the time. I supported him financially, sending him money and airtime, even though he didn't ask for it. He eventually became financially okay, but I had to abandon the idea of dating him because I later realized we weren't compatible.

You are the exception but many modern women just reject potential husband because he does not have money. And where these women are in their mid 30s or early 40s, they will be crying that it is hard to get husband. My own younger female relative was like that, i had to tell her that she stop doing so . Told her to date men because he is kind to you and responsible. The idea of proceding to marriage is good because if he is barely start working and so. He is not expected to make serious money until he has put into years in his career.

I was mostly broke all through my 20’s, and it’s from like 30 years I start to see road. It’s a uniquely male experience except you come from a wealthy home.

But if you’re like the vast majority of men, and from Nigeria (so sorry), it’s normal to be broke at 40.

Don’t make social media fool you.

As a guy from poor or average home, you have to speed up your schooling or apprenticeship.

The reason is so you can graduate on time and start hustling or climbing the career ladder.

The earlier you start, the earlier you start making money.

Someone who graduated at 21 has big chances of making it quicker than someone who graduated at 28 just because they are younger.
