Let's port to Illinois then, don't you think?

Why Illinois?

HeliosHay:


I'm just advising from my own experience Sir.

Everyone's situation is different. My dad married when he was just a teacher earning very little and he still managed to achieve a lot.

I want my family to be comfortable. By the time you take away rent, food, school fees, fuel for the generator, car maintenance, money used to assist parents/in-laws etc. you're already 50k - N100k+ out of pocket. And we're not even talking about having enough disposable income to invest and build wealth.

Thats why I said (for me), i'll feel comfortable with N500K+ per month...that's just my own humble opinion

for that standard, you are talking 500K nor even reach, do you know 500k is 6M a year?
So as you see my bro, once you reach the age get cracking, start small grow.marriage is like a focal point, it reminds you of your responsibilities this alone gives you the motive to hustle. There is a word we use in the west, its in everyday questioneer, its called dependants. kids n wife etc co mes under that, they are ur motivation.

Why Illinois?

Illinois should be a cheaper place to spread our tentacles, don't you think?

Someone should please remind me what the minimum wage is

MrBrownJay1:


so long as that man can pay his rent, pay for his monthly food, pay the bills etc....and has small change at the end of the month, then he can consider dating, and possibly marriage...

You have said it all

It's not the size of the dog in the fight but the size of the fight in the dog.

getting married is not the problem per se

it's this foolish habit of many Nigerians of being in a hurry to pop kids into the marriage ASAP

A man who gets married at say 23/24 25 max for example can have an agreement with his spouse to delay kids for say 3-4 years b4 getting pregnant while working TOGETHER and praying TOGETHER towards building a more financially secure life for themselves
once they do that they can then pop one, two and say three kids...


It's all about planning

But NiggerAreans will not...

The woman especially will not agree
she wants to prove to the world that she is "fertile" ASAP
coupled with family pressure

#Such Fvckery

instead of Nigerian Youth to learn how western couples plan their finances together, with plans on 401k and other moves like taxation and all
it's the negative they are emulating


100k is NOT a bad salary for a young man with prospects starting out...

with his lovely lady earning slightly below that, they can plan together their lives, live in a self contain for the meantime, save as much as they can while probably one plans how to break out and start his own business / climb up the social ladder while still holding the brakes on popping kids

But how many youths will behave this way,?
this IS just my thoughts sha


it's not cast in stone

True

For this next level when we dey so na any amount brother

From my own experience, I married when I had nothing, I mean absolute nothing but I had a vision and fortunately my wife understand. Now I am better , And with my present salary , After paying school fees, house rent, food etc and all other expenses, I can still save up to a 1m naira per month

Most of the things you mentioned does not apply to the Nigerian environment. We value kids and family more in Africa than abroad, average American or European cannot even sponsor their kids to college. The sensible ones are not living on 100k per month or $900. Furthermore even those earning minimum wage abroad cannot fully invest in 401k or savings to truly mean something, kids or no kids. I do agree with you tho, financial security and planning is very important but let's not kid ourselves, those making 100k per month are not going to build houses, buy cars and still have enough to send their kids to private universities. Even if they work 20 years, the outlook is just not encouraging hence why so many people look for deals, so what's the solution? Not have kids? Not own a house? Manage public transport?

No matter how much a man makes, he should never consider marriage, the opposite applies to women.

we value kids more in Africa

I laugh

an average American /European cannot sponsor their kids to college
I will disagree with Europe because university is as good as free in most European countries for Europeans with the exception of day that Use Less UK...
so that does not count

But for the USA you are correct

colkege is tens of thousands of dollars and they will need to take student loans to meet up...

even with the abysmally low fees in NiggerArea
how many parents in Nigeria actually foot the bills of their kids in NigeriA?

even at less than 200 $

many still struggle to meet uo.
now think pf what happens if the school fees is like 400k per annum
how many parents in poverty Nigeria can pay?

and for one to be working just minimum wage jobs in America "-X
that means the person is not skilled

But that is beside the topic

Planning is key and that is my point
Africans need to adjust their mindset

Western couples I tell them that they don't know what they have by having a relatively structured system and mindset that helps them plan

NIGERIA
that means the person is not skilled

VillagePipu:


You see those teachers, they would use their 80k or 100k to build houses but those earning 500k, how many of them are living in their houses?

Even if you earn 5M per month, if your wife is empty headed with nothing sensible to contribute except bills, that 5M won't be enough for the family.

The more you earn, the higher your taste goes.

never knew I will agree with you on anything tho

So far, your comments have been spot on


mature and concise

VillagePipu:


My problem with empty headed girls is not even the girls, it is the fact that if they are mothers to your children, your children would also be empty headed.

There should also be mental compatibility when choosing a mate. Idiots ought to marry idiots.

lmao

this made me laugh

UyaiIncomparabl:


Till then. Let's enjoy whilst offer lasts.

You had better behave yourself there and be serious Before I bring cane to your doorstep


500k kwa? How many people earn such amount in the world and are not already married or are available for marriage? How many 'Ned Nwokos' do we still have in the world?

Liverpool Beat Tottenham 2 – 0 To Win The Champions League (Video)

Mohamed Salah put last season’s final heartbreak behind him by setting up a 2-0 win over Tottenham in Madrid and a sixth Champions League triumph for Liverpool.

Egypt star Salah was infamously injured in a challenge with Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos before the Reds subsided to a 3-1 defeat in Kiev 12 months ago but grabbed the opener in a largely forgettable contest at the Wanda Metropolitano.

The Premier League Golden Boot winner dispatched a second-minute penalty after Moussa Sissoko was penalised for handball.

Hustle for where? Where would you have such time? Once you're married you have Minus -50% less time to do anything.

get a good job as well and equally earn at least more than half of what you mentioned before you can be qualified.

It's high we start putting girls like this in place..leeches

Ned is an exception....... He is a big whale........... Let's assume Ned was a pauper, do you think Regina would marry Ned................

Well that's the point she won't, why marry a broke guy especially these days where women think that the numbers in a guy bank account determined the level of being happy together under the same roof.
