Can N50 000 Monthly Upkeep Money Be Enough For A Wife N Her 2 Kids by saponification: 4:10pm On Oct 17, 2014 |
Hello houz,a close friend of mine came to see me today n she complained bitterly dat her hubby abroad sends her 50 thousand naira every month for her upkeep n dat of her 2 kids.accordin to her,d 50k is for everytin excluding houz rent n her children's skul fees.from her breakdown,d money is not always enough cos she buys fuel for her car n gen,pay NEPA bill,buy cookin gas,pay hospital bill when ssickness comes n above all her 1 year plus baby takes so much money in terms of cerelac(not less than 4 tins a month at 1500 each tin),SMA milk(not less than 2 tins @ 3900 each) and pampers.apart from d above stated expenses,she will also buy her soap,cream,her children's own,her perfume n other stuffs.then once in a while she or her children will need clothes(cos hubby does not send). The issue now is dat she've given hubby a breakdown of these expenses n begged for increament of her allowance(even if not monthly,at least some months) but her hubby refused sayin some families use less of dat amount monthly.she is confused n do not know what else to do(she's been lookin for a job witout success so far).I advised her the best way I could but I am bringin it here to get more suggestions on how she can best handle dis situation.pls give ur opininos cos she was even asking me if I think she is not economical,if its her fault dat the 50k monthly upkeep is not enough for her n d a2 kids |

Well well well, she should just learn to be more conservative and try to set her priority when it comes to expenses and at least save a little to start a buisness or something. 2 Likes |

I think 50k should be enough. except u already have a very high taste and don't know how to fall back on more economic options. please try and use the money wisely am sure if u managed it well it should be just enough. 4 Likes |

Now. Yes N50,000 monthly allowance for her and her 2 kids will be enough is she's not extravagant. She needs to try and endure a little hardship because "out of SWEAT, comes SWEET." Since she has complained to the husband and he's not reasoning with her, she should try and start a business, not just any business but a business she feels will blosom within their locality. And if she can reason with the landlord of her apartment to spare her the next rent for maybe 4 to 6 months so that she can invest in her business. She can even tell him she'll pay back with a little interest. She should not touch the children's fees though as that would be detrimental. So YES 50,000 Naira monthly upkeep will do only when she stops consuming all and start investing some. #MYCANDIDOPINION 1 Like |

If she's not working then let her find ways to manage the 50K. What happen to introducing baby to ogi (brown pap) and a bit of cerelac to cut down on cost? The pap is organic and natural. Pampers can be used during the night or when she's going out to scale down on pampers cost . Generator can be switched off when the weather is cool or as a rule at 10pm or 12 midnight. She should examine her cost profile and try to find less expensive alternatives. We cultivated expensive taste and we can also scale down to less expensive ones. She should also avoid buying things on impulse without adequate budget or planning. My two cents! 27 Likes |

sexymoma: Exactly what i wanted to say Is it every month she buys all these things apart from baby food and diaper Is she using generator 247 Do they pay house rent every month Like someone said give pap instead of cerelac She had better look for work if she is not working in order to compliment what the husband is doing Does she know the odd job the man is doing over there? How many hours he sleeps? OP please tell your friend to learn how to be conservative and stop living the life of my husband sends me dollars monthly 3 Likes |

Does it mean that she does nothing else than to wait for 50k every month? By the way,the hubby can easily save her stress by purchasing all those little items from overseas,stuffs like perfumes,clothes,diapers and baby foods can be sent to her.It is going to be even more cheaper for the hubby. The only expenses she will have will be utility bills and school fees. They both confused ![]() 5 Likes |

Did she use cerelac while growing up? Never seen anybody that died for not taking cerelac. Soyabeans and other cheaper sources like pap are there if the child has been weaned. Some mothers even breastfed their children for a year. She should consult her mother now. Wonder what she learnt while a spinster. 1 Like |

She should be grateful to God that her husband still remembers her and should save for the rainy day. Should the husband elope with a white woman and abandon her. Won't she survive. I guess some girls have built skyscrapers in the air that coming down from it makes her cheapened in her so called imaginary class. Op one day if she continues with this attitide hunger sama her eh.
