I know of people who got married and raised kids in single room apartment, but later moved to their own personally built house. This is one of the best situation to know a loyal wife with genuine love. Believe me, if you get an apartment bigger than you can manage with your wife with your current income, all you will be hustling for will be your rent year in year out. This might even make you lose focus on your wife. In the end she might still have to leave if she can't bear it any longer.

Please advice, wish to get married, live in a self contain but working for a salary less than 80k. Is it reasonable to live with a wife in a one room?
Yes, if both of you can understand yourselves and manage the little you have.

i stay in a room self con, and planning on getting married this year, am saving up for another accommodation already, at least a room and a parlor self con, with a space for dinning. Not that she cant stay with me in a room self con, but i dont want that, in my own little way, i want her to be comfortable living with me, so it all boil down to what u want, and the partner involve and what u can afford, that's why is good to open up very well when u are in a relationship with anyone, dont be claiming omo Dangote and Otedola, when u know say u dey hustle ni.

So it boils down to what u want and what u can afford.
if your yearly rent can afford a piece of land by all means vacate that place and start building one ,move to a smaller place

[b]Before getting married, I faced a "panel" of Elders of 9 people at my wife's church, who did my marriage counselling.

These are some questions amongst many that were thrown at me;

1. "What do you do for a living?" - I told them

2. "What kind of business?" - I told them

3. "What's the situation of your living condition?" - I told them I live in a 3 Bedroom flat by myself

4. "Do you own a car?" - I told them, yes, not just a car but a Mercedes Benz. They were impressed and I could see some of them giggling

5. One lady now said, "By the way, I see your last name as....... Are you in any way related to the ........s" - I said I am the son of ........... "Oh really, she asked"

6. They asked, "What is your genotype" - I told them I am AA, while my fiance was also AA because both of us did it together just to confirm for ourselves

7. Then they asked that I excuse them for about 5 mins and that I would be called back in.

Later I was called back in and I could see them all smiling, and the head said "Congratulations" from the response we have gotten from you, we have come to the conclusion that you are in better stead to take care of our daughter. We do this because we need to establish a solid foundation for our daughters in our church so there won't be financial or otherwise problems in the future.

So many things were said on that day and I still keep them to heart and it is working for me; I have been married for 15 years now.

From that 3 Bedroom flat, I moved into another 3 bedroom flat, which was better, then to the US. While in Naija, I had a Housemaid, I had no problem of where she would stay because there was a room I could give to her. My in-laws always came visiting, and I could also accommodate them without any problem.

I still remember all of them and May God bless those old men and women (may the soul of the departed continue to rest in peace). If I had not taken to their words of wisdom, who knows, maybe I may be divorced by now.

So, OP, don't rush into marriage, strive to be more comfortable and I tell you, God shall bless your hustle and make your wife stand form with you.[/b]
I hope you realize there are several families in US who started from one room in Ajegunle and Iyanikpaja?
I know of a friend that couldn't pay the brideprice of his wife,his uncle married a wife for him.As we speak,his family are still on vacation out of the country.Life has got twist and turns...

Guy do you know where Fela Durotoye was living when he married his wife Tara? Now where do they live? Let me narrow it down for you and bring it back home. Did your Dad live in a duplex before marrying your mum and having you? I mean no disrespect my guy.

You see, in life you start from where you are with what you have and with proper planning, God first and a spouse with the right cool head who understands your vision, as a couple you two will make it.

Today, Fela Durotoye is no more in his single room apartment where Tara had to go to her mother's house to have her bath daily, as she couldn't use the bathroom everyone used.

As stories dey change na so levels dey change too.

God bless you man. Take a leap of faith with your self contain and 80k job. And watch what will happen. Some people don't even earn 80k yet have families.

Its not about renting duplex, with your less than your 80k salary, would you be able to consistently pay the rent?

Many landlords are very ruthless when it comes to rent payments so I will advice you

Start with what you have and when your salary improves, you can move to 3 bedroom flat.

Don't do it. It could make you desperate for money irrespective of who you married. You might end up considering doing rituals sef grin grin You don't need such pressure in your life
We are funny in this country.. A man who lives in three bed room apartment can be broke tomorrow even without a roof..

We need to embrace family planning. Get a good family planning, work wit ur babe, two heads better than one
U guys can save for better apartment within one or two years..

We need to learn to do family planning weda married or not.. And a home is built by two. A husband and wife..

Everyone must not start the same way.. Some started poorly and ended richer, some started richer and ended poorer. Life is not predictable..

Read my post very well, I NEVER in any way suggested that a person living in one room cannot get married.

All these 3 Bedroom flat and what have you is for convenience purposes.

A friend of mine got married living in one room, by the time the baby came, they were 3, mother-in-law cannot come to take care of the baby and some other problems.

What I wrote was my personal experience and only to encourage the OP to hustle more. It was the way I set out to plan myself, which worked so well for me

Choose your friends wisely.

If you have a friend that you gained nothing from his sense in 2018, it's time to let him go.

If you hang around thieves for long, sooner or later you will be a thief.

If you have nobody to give you advice that will advance you, it's better to think real hard and decide how you want to live 2019 and beyond!

Many of us started from a self contained as bachelors to two rooms and then start building.Many who do this do it not because they can't afford it,but because we are planning to build.In Lagos and Abuja as Nwadiala if you dey pay 2 + million for House for years and your guys find out say you never build or at least have a land Omo na refugee you be o.Them go laugh you tire say you be mumu.Excerpt ofcourse you are using rent from your building in another location to finance your rent.
