Ogbeni, I won’t waste my time engaging you. Me and you clearly no dey the same level in anything. I seriously bow for the kind people wey man pikin dey jam for here. They need to start teaching critical reasoning and logic in our schools!
Your salary can never make you rich. Take that home. It's an indisputable fact

Mitsurugi:
God is the source of my provisions. Because each year I spend far more than what I envisage. I don't womanize or club or spend frivolously. Sometimes when I doubt my expenditure I have to cross check my expenses and it's always on point. It's just God.

Testimony. I went from a 1.5 flat to a 3.5m flat last year. It wasn't planned at the start of the year. But it happened. Then a baby also came. Omo. Na God.
God does wonders, but if your expenses outweighs your income consistently. Then there's a serious cause for concern from financial POV. I'll recommend you watch a Netflix documentary on " How to get Rich." Targetted at family modern day oriented wealth building...

Advice to the legit working singles
You better buy enough clothes for yourself, before jumping. That ur account balance go flatt..

like as in, a responsible decent family man, you, wife a kid cost BTW 250k - 500k monthly up keep alone, with strict management. Haaaba how do you want a young man to get marry now. This fuel prices anomalies has reduced me to nothing in the house.

Pls share your experience
Things are tough, yes, but if your wife tells you she and her kid (note kid, singular, as you wrote) alone need a monthly upkeep between a quarter million and half a million naira, then you need a new wife.

Fi you know what is good for you ;

1. Don't birth too much children

2. Make sure you marry a lady that is doing something (working)
3. Make sure your wife is ready and willing to support.
4. No carry family matter for ya head. Those your siblings will find a way to sort things out for themselves with or without you. Just do your best for them and leave the rest.
5. Take good care of your parents if they are still alive. Their prayers go a long way more than your pastor's prayers in your life.
6. Don't try to impress any body, especially your wife family.
Number 6 most Men are guilty 😭😭

Lumig:
I don't know why whenever I hear the tag "responsible men" it always sounds like "mugu" and "easily manipulated" men. A puppet or tool in the hand of another lazy and cunning grown-up, to achieve her personal goals.
That’s the meaning na. It’s a way of praising the person so as to keep using him without getting to know he is being used.
Re: Responsible Family Men, How Are You Coping? by Arthurnna: 3:15pm On May 03
This right here,is the CODE I live by... Mind your Damn Binness(Business). Always show up for your Fam,Top Priority.

Keep showing up.

Focus on your family and don't take up other people's responsibilities.

Mind your business.

Things like these happens for a reason.
You'd go through trials and tribulations only to come out stronger, wiser and more financially stable.
Some or most friends and family will dessert you, don't let that bother you. Just keep selling your capabilities to those who'd wish to hear, just maybe something good may pop up and if nothing happens you'd need to cut down your expenses( find a cheaper house and school for the kids)
Your wife may start to disrespect you, try to overlook it, that's woman nature.
I pray God comes through sooner than you imagine.
