Akposb:Hpocritical Naija mentality meant for the poor to keep dashing poverty from generation. If sex is not important in marriage, marry ur pillow. If money is not important in marriage, become a catholic priest. |

Laralag:I think home-based Nairaland family members would be in a better position to say. But I know people in Lagos on a combined family income of 150 to 200k and doing well. Yet some singleton complain that 165k is too small. Like anywhere in the world it is about how you manage your income and the number of extended family members needing your economic support. |

iamrealdeji:It's good to prepare for marriage dt I agree with but man proposes and God disposes at times. It will be foolish to wait till 40yrs to get married BC you are preparing for marriage. D story of life is different for everyone, some ppl prepared well for marriage got married at 42 yrs on a salary of 450k but 3yrs down the line got fired n moved to square one others married at 30yrs on a salary of 70k and 5yrs down the line got a job of 250k. Life is full of ups and downs, there is time for everything n there is time to get married. |

No amount will ever be enough. Certain amount may be too small though. Unless you're from a really rich home, you must consider a few things. Where you intend to settle is important. Standard of living differs with different places. Secondly, my father advised me 'As long as you can feed yourself and your wife, plus a few other family member like when they come visiting without borrowing, you are good to go' obviously after setting up a considerable good apartment - decent apartment my father in-law will say. As a man, your wife income MAY be negligible at the beginning ie if she's not working and above condition hold, fine or if she's working, perfect. Now to be specific, after your personal monthly upkeep (recharge card, data, transport to work to and fro everyday etc), if you have 30-40k in Abeokuta, Ibadan, Osogbo, Akure, Ado minus Lagos, you will feed well with change left. Remember, 30-40k after your personal upkeep. and this is on the low side, the 30-40k. Also provided you're not the type that like to spend on alcohol and do some alaye stuffs. The amount I put up there should even afford cinema ones a month and maybe a date. I advise the wife should work at the beginning, she will assist too. Both of you can grow together from here. you can both start the race of making a more comfy home for when the kids start coming together. Makes it easier People can start with big salary and have financial issues early in their marriage. They can start small and make it big. They can start big and remain big. They can start small and remain small. My point is there is no prerequisite to make it big in life, it takes favour. but there are prerequisite for being happy and contented. and that is 'try your best, do not have too much expectations ' My own philosophy has been, as long as you can afford the basic things to not be considered 'poor', you should be happy. Driving very expensive car is luxury. But all in all, you need a really good wife to understand all the thrash I've put up there. You must believe everything will be ok in the end. |

it's all about understanding. some has d money but to bring it out and start planing is what d don't know how to go about it. some has the money but confuse on whom to settle with. my opinion. |

Proverbs 18:22 Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD Proverbs 19:13 A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping. 19:14 House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD. |

humilitypays:Let me share my experience and I hope people will learn. I started working with a Federal government agency in 2013 earning N45k and in 2016 my salary got to 50k. I am of age to marry but I have been thinking of how to get money for the celebration, I have a super girl that has all quality a REAL wife should have, not all this girl's mentioning 150-450k which it's their choice anyway. My then girl friend now my super wife encourage me to forget money and start planning with the little I have. Note: she was just a corper and still putting pressure on me but I later reason with her and set the preparation rolling in July and fix date for December 31st 2016. A month to the wedding I have done virtually nothing, I mean nothing and had no savings and I refused to borrow. I went ahead to booked for a hall worth N450k, and N300k for food and N150k for drinks because just wanted to celebrate at least just this once in my life. A week to my wedding someone paid for the hall, a day later someone took the food and then drinks and infact my wedding was a success and the bet in my city with dignities in attendance that a governor and a senator attended which I never invited. Now, my salary is almost 60k and seriously I am proud am a husband, father sooner, living in a very comfortable house and atleast I do better than some men earning 300k, right now I don't lack food, I am mobile and So happy I am married. I advice men and women waiting for the big job and money to lay off that pride and get married and face reality of life. There is blessing in marriage and still counting. Shalom |
