I think same method should still be applicable if you're in middle class level.

A good woman is a great investment, i concur.
Guys, we should pls leave slay queens alone except you're ready for their excesses.

Respect!

If you can't predict what is coming you can't take advantage of what will come.

When they say you can't, you shouldn't... that's when you should....

When they are going left go right.

3,300 is as good as 15k then. Nice one though, nothing is permanent. A man's status can change within a day.

IMO from what have experienced so far in my search, even earning N100,000 as salary, the demands of the average lady of today are high, they all want better than you have in-which most of them are not ready to plan or let go of somethings to start a life with you.

Seen some comments below about decent ladies aren't available. Not true, they all have just decided they want better especially with the economic situation.

put this struck me hard ''my regards to all hardworking ladies/women around because a good lady/wife is an investment while a bad lady/wife is a bill.''


GaniLAb:
I opened this thread in order to encourage a guy that is planning to start a family with 35,000 naira salary. I started my owm family in the year 2003 as a young graduate with a morally upright and understanding lady then (now wife). We started our family based on understanding, adequate planning and above all prayers was key and it is still key in our day to day activities.
The planning started with number of kids, we make sure that the age difference between the first born and second born is seven years. The first born is about to write WAEC now while the second born is in pry 4. The age difference between the second born and our last born is eight years . The last born is just eight months old.
The saving aspect of it my wife is not the type that ask for designer this -designer that or natural hair that cost 35,000 Naira on monthly basis we. practically save a lot.
By special grace of God I now buy all these moderate natural hair like (Brazilia, passion, Peruvian) for her because I can now afford them. In addition to this I spend 34,100 Naira on layers mash (fowl feed on weekly basis and 85,000 naira on durante fish feed on monthly basis. we moved to our house 3-bedroom flatt in june 2015 (pictures attached)
In summary a guy that is planning to start a family with 35,000 naira salary must not go for a slay queen that Will be demanding for a designer this - designer that or expensive hair that cost 35k at the initial stage or else the marriage will crash like MMM.
Finally, my regards to all hardworking ladies/women around because a good lady/wife is an investment while a bad lady/wife is a bill.
May God continue to bless all the morally upright lady/woman.

I'm sure he'd ve built his own estate now had he waited and laid proper foundation for family life. Marriage and childbearing limits a man's ability to explore potential avenues for success.

Let's even forget about the ladies asking for this and that. The wedding party/bride price alone is enough for someone to fear,we should now add the new craze(pre-wedding pics) too... Man go fear na.

Why do we just compare 2003 with 2017...
Things were equally hard then, after wasted two good yrs writing aptitude tests from one multinational company to another (2001-2003) ranging from UTB, Arthur Andersen and Erngst and Young test at Victoria Island lagos to Chevron test at Gbagada Lagos, Total test at P/H city to Geo science work at Tundun Wada jos. I actually passed some of the tests to interview levels then I decided to go for my master degree in geophysics combining it with 5,500 naira job. After the msc I was contemplating on what to do then I came across this Robert Mugabe wise words
"when your salary comes in time you eat chicken. As the ssalary reduces you eat product of chicken (eggs) and subsequently you begin to eat chicken's food ( maize and millet), and finally when salary is finished, you become chicken itself, spending your time walking around just looking for what to eat" I opted for entrepreneurship.I actually bought the land in 2013 finished it up in 2014.

I said some of our friends that were shouting money! money!! before starting a family then ... they find it very difficult to start their own family now because they are yet to get the money now and age is no more on their sides. child rearing requires a lot of attention. in the next twenty years they are already old.

Then 1$ was between the range of #114to#127 in 2003
As of September 8th,2017 1$ is equal to #358.1
And then there was no recession like this
I will advise all Ladies and Men here to work hard and have a good income before getting married
That's my opinion

its not about money. Its about being totally self sufficient and equipped be it educationally, emotionally, vocationally or behaviourally. Finance is a bonus
