You can have an income of 450k and it will never be enough depending on the type of woman you marry. I'll simply say marry a lady who knows how to manage your finance well and is not an exorbitant spender.
Thank you jawe. You share similar reasoning with me

happened to me twice,the lack of money then quench the little confidence I needed to make things work,so painful I couldnt handle things properly they both walked away...ohhh Mr money where are though. From those experience I learnt a great deal.
It happens bro. Most ladies tend to take their leave when a financial stable dude pressurize them and shower them with material things

Do you know that some housewives even leave their husbands for another man that can pay their bills?

Well...I agree with him at some point.
A friend resigned from his previous place of work were he was earning 140k due to some issues he had. He searched for a decent job for a while, but he couldn't find, so he took up a contract work for 45k as a single guy.

He got married within the middle of the year he started the contract work. Before the end of that same year, the company confirmed him as a full staff with 300k and an official car.
Well not everyone has that favour.

This generation has placed money and sex above all else in marriage. The reality can be different if we recognize our peculiarity. No money is enough especially at the beginning, two financially strong partners can get far no matter how little. Marriage built on financial credibility can still fail.

Marry now with the little you have. Don't wait to
be a millionaire, Have kids early so you can grow
with them. Grow with your kids and succeed with
your wife. You will never finish making money or
achieving your plans. You might still not succeed
at your target year. So start your life early, with
consistency you will grow.


My father said this to me: _When i was 25, i was
talking about making billions before i marry.
Many years later, billions didn't come, yet no kid
no wife... I had an opportunity to marry the most beautiful love
of my life very early, But my fear was, can i
really take care of her? But right now She's married with
Four grown up children. The guy that married her
was still schooling then, but had the courage.
They worked hard and succeeded together. I
failed, so please if you can feed yourself, you can
feed your wife. You have to believe it, marry
early, don't wait.

Don't make our mistakes, I see
my childhood friends play with their kids.. Most
of them are not doing as well as me.. But they
are happier with their families..
Trust me it isn't money only, but Rather your Maturity, your
happiness depends entirely on your wisdom and the way you Handle Life. With
a well planned life they are happier.


Trust me it
isn't money, What is our problem? Build mansion, buy the latest Car in Town, marry Sharon stone type, but still we don't have those things we dreamt of,
and of course the years we wasted, we can never have them neverrrr!!!_


Please don't be 60yrs old and your kids will still
be in their 20's..What are you supposed to be at
that age? Their grand father.
Please young men, take my advice seriously.


Marry, don't be afraid, that girl you are finding too many
fault in has many good qualities if you look well.

Don't think you will get every thing before you
settle down. God can change your life in a blink,
with a good and Focus wife by your side, you will succeed
by God grace....Amen

*Ladies, please try and pass this across to Ur boyfriend or fiancé* *Guys please have a re-think and tell other guys about it too... And consider this advice*°°°°°°°°

It really depends on the type of life you want to live. My Parents' drivers earn 60K each a month and have about 4-6 children. As for me, I'd like for you to earn at least 1m+ while I also have my good-paying job.
Re: How Much Income Is Reasonable Before Marriage? by bosfawe(f): 10:27pm On Jul 25, 2017
How much you need to earn before marriage depends on several factors eg where you live, the standard you hope to maintain, distance of your house to office, how soon do you want to starting having children, do you have a car etc
Since there are so many variables, it will be difficult to give you a figure. Nevertheless, this is a scientific approach to it.
Write down your current monthly expenditures, adjust for rent and other things which may change after marriage.your partner too should do same. Both of you should harmonise your expenditures. This will give you a rough estimate of what you will need per month. Compare this with what both of you currently earn, it will show you where you are financially.
Will you need to reduce your standard? Will you need to get a cheaper accommodation? You are in a better position to know if your current earnings can sustain a new family or not.

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
shalom...May his grace sustain you

So bkos some PS/Directors are stealing now mean dat every other successful PS/ Director is stealing? So u think they all sit down and just eat their money without any serious investment? U think their wives are just house wives...i laff in Swahili...My HOD wife is a big Accountant in a foreign Cement Coy, D former HoD too d wife is an Asst Director in a Govt Agency and i dont see dem complaining. So if u find ursef in dat position and one big FG contractor that ur role was just to sign his documents and stamp it come around tomorrow to give u one and half plot in Asokoro u will not take? I am sure if by virtue of ur office they are allocating houses in an estate and u are in good terms with d political head of ur ministry if he choose to allocate one or two plot u will reject it. My nairaland friend there is no straight jacketed path to success. u think everyone will be entrepreneur abi? well I don't think so, like i said whatever works for u stick to it.
