Okay

nice thread...

Please tell me where you live....
If you are in Lagos, it's possible but it has to be face me I face you, where they pay 2500/month
My candid advice no matter where you stay is
1. Double or tripling your current savings is the way forward
2. Multiple source of income will help you
3. Marry a lady that brings something to the table
Marriage no be beans o
Don't be pushed, do it at your own ease
Pampers cost o
Baby food is gold
Hustle first, don't let your children curse you

Worry about climate change

Most importantly marry someone who has something doing or who has dream and it's working towards or better still marry a woman who will support your dreams, because even if you save I billion a wrong woman will bring you down.

U must be staying in kaduna, jos or nasarawa keffi

Getting married is beautiful and it comes with it own little blessings. But I dnt feel it will be nice settling down with your present income. Well it depend on your location, because it seem accommodations at your location seem cheap and affordable. But dnt settle down yet. Give your self a little more time to grow financially I and I do not support people who bring in kids into this world and are not able to meet those kids needs
Wish you all the best and pray you succeed

I am 30 and seriously looking forward to settling down now and next year.......no babe, lol.

I think you’re on track. My piece of advice in the mean time:

1. Develop yourself. Learn a good skill, not paper qualification.
2. Save and invest wisely.
3. Take care of your family

When you’re ready to marry, please go for a working class lady .....don’t even date any lady that aint working, otherwise, you will compound your struggle.

About me:
I live and work in Lagos.

that's a wonderful plan bro

all these u must acquire this acquire that b4 u get married are bullshit.. do ur best and leave d rest to God...

OP....hope you'll get a woman that share your dream and aspiration in life. You need a helper as you are on the right track already. Wish you all the best.

These are lovely! please I will love to learn
how can you help me ��

Nonsense!... find lady wey get her own money too

If she do strong head later because of her money, kick her away... don't kill yourself o

What's the fuss about? Some people don't have half of what you have and are happily married. Pray God gives you a good woman!

Ok

truthsayer009:
OP you are definitely on the right track, If you can try & double your hustle to save 50k per month. That would be 600k per year.

Imagine saving for 2 years & starting a business before getting married, at least you have about 1.2M+ capital to rely on.

Also marriage too will gulp some good amount of money, you also have to save for that.

Go and marry biko. I am sure money is not your problem. You are busy screening women upandan.

3 bedrooms flat for Anambra is just 35k per year while dat of Kastina is 15k

Is this a joke

You dey pay tithe and offering! Well, e be like say sufferness never reach your side, bro.

Naanlong1, please ignore this statement. There is blessing when you are a tither as it paves way when situation becomes tough

Pentools:
Booked....

On some reals, this shouldn't be your problem now, because things changes especially with the fluctuating situation of naija and her economy.

You should be more concerned about the wife to marry. How supportive, committed, loving, respectful and determined to make you n the marriage grow financially, spiritually, economically and otherwise....

If you marry the wrong person all this your so called plans will dwindle drastically and your priorities will shift to the opposite....

God help us all....#Amen!!!

[s]Brother, a lot of men married having lesser than what u have now, today they are living conveniently[/s][/b];

Secondly, u may wait till ages if you are planning to make your family financially stable b4 getting married; Gods plans are different from ours, and it doesn't rest on your shoulders to make them financially stable, they are Gods responsibility. That is one of the mistake many of we africans do, especially we the firstborns, that is why most of us (firstborns) are behind our junior ones

Thirdly, my guy there is no flat of 2 bedroom flat for 50k not even in Ajegunle

This is why black African nations, especially Nigeria is so backward and poverty infested the way it is today....it is this stupid mentality of marrying with the hope of getting lucky even without plans.


Don't plan your life on luck, if not, life will teach you a sad lesson, be careful.....have a defined goal and financial plan/stability before you go into marriage if not, you will likely be producing children that will continue with the black African nation rat race of struggling to survive everyday and migrating to anywhere they hear about just to make ends meet, be warned!


Marriage is not compulsory if you as the man and your would-be wife are not financially okay to take care of a happy home

Naanlong01:
I recently turned 29 and i have never felt the reality of settling down like am feeling now. A brief introduction about myself: am the only male child of 3children, my mum almost singlehandedly raised us, though dad is alive and kicking but doesn't really care. I became an entrepreneur a year ago after NYSC.

Current monthly saving is less than 30k after tithe. I have the potential of doubling it before end of next year.

Note: i am not under any pressure to marry and am not even dating (not until i'm ready for marriage ) but i plan to marry when i turn 31 in 2021 after settling my mum and sisters, i believe they must be financially free especially my mum before i can settle for marriage. Now here comes the question, if you live in a 12k5 single room like me, pays 12k annual shop rent and 2bedroom flat apartment goes for 50k max (future marriage consideration) how much do you think its ok as a monthly saving before marriage. And if you are married, how much was your monthly saving then.

I cannot advise you to marry on those earnings. I say this because even if you do not plan on having children, unless you and your wife use condoms every single time, you may find your self with a child in short order. That money cannot even cover diapers , much less baby clothes, baby food, wipes etc. and it is all uphill from there. You will rapidly become frustrated and miserable.

Unless your hustle brings in significant income, I can’t advise it. Don’t believe all that story of you can live on 30k per month. You will be barely subsisting, and you and your wife will grow old fast

Brother...

Listen... You are a good man with a good heart.
I am the only male child as well... Many unsuccessful men today are what they are because they assumed responsibilities that is not thiers. Why do u feel prompted to settle your sisters and mum.

Bro... Survive.first, grow and flourish. Then seek out what you can do to help your family not at your detriment.

Be careful with women bro. Dont be in a hurry.... regardless of how good it looks man. It's still a risk. You could either turn out better or worse.

Just go MGTOW.

50k for a 2 bedroom apartment

12k annual shop rent

What location are you @ OP

Take ur time, make solid plans and find a good gal who understands.

ekestic1976:

Suffer no dey tire him

Instead of him to save his money and get a good life.

OP, you need to start dreaming like a man. Just get out from your location, go out and take a walk around a developed area.

If what you see doesn't motivate you, then your matter will be needing general beating.

Don't enter marriage with such peanut, those who are advising you won't be there to feed you tomorrow. Get a good life first then talk about marriage.

I wish you success in all your LEGIT endeavours.

Put all your savings on sure 2 odd after 2 years and thank me later

*Clap for yourself*

If I may ask what is your definition of a good life?
I suppose you're leading a good life right now and it's because you aren't paying your tithe and offering right?

Did you say 50k for 2 bedroom flat?

I want to know your village o....
