I earn 55k a month I have a wife and 3 children triplets b/g/b , I give my wife 20k monthly for house upkeep , I give my mother 10k my dad is late , and I use the remaining 20k for my transport , data , lunch at work and other expenses outside of my house , and I have been saving 5k in my piggy bank for rainy day ( I will break it on the 1st of January 2021)but my wife have complain bitterly that the money is not enough because she have to buy nappies , milk, foods for the children out of the money I should start giving her 30k monthly , I said I can’t give her more than 20k because if I give her 30k and what will I give to my mother , even that 20k I am left with it doesn’t supply all my monthly needs sometimes I am left with nothing before my next salary , my wife say I am stingy and this has been causing problems between us. Please I need your advice it’s a true that i am stingy ?

She is not working because the triplets are 11 months and we can’t afford a maid

Re: My Wife Says Am Stingy With My Money by Prinss:
To be honest sir, NGN20k is nothing for a single man talk more of a woman with 3 children. If you can sir, as much as it is in your power please increase the amount, if nothing for the sake of the babies. This is one of the cause of our failing economy.

man it doesn't matter what people think. What matters is what your wife thinks. She thinks you're stingy. So what are you going to do about it?

You're just poor and, not stringy.

you're giving her 40% your monthly take, that's a bit part of your earnings. it sounds big in percentage but, to be fair that amount is almost nothing when diced up for 4 people plus you, making 5 ( since you will come home for dinner).

So please don't fight your wife. find a solution, and do that quick before your kids start school.
You need to upgrade your hustle, and maybe help your wife get a job.

What does she do for a living? A house wife? U have entered a one chance.
Re: My Wife Says Am Stingy With My Money by FROGMAN101(m): 6:20pm On Sep 17, 2020
I wonder why she isn't working too though?? And no, you are not stingy.
Re: My Wife Says Am Stingy With My Money by PlayForFun: 6:22pm On Sep 17, 2020
NO you're not stingy and don't blame your wife too. 20k for a whole month is too small honestly but who should we blame here?....the country. The country is hard abeg. That 20k is even small for 2 weeks. Things are expensive now bro. Try talk to your wife and she should also be praying for you. 55k per month is too small and that's where the problem is coming from. She should try and understand the present situation.
Re: My Wife Says Am Stingy With My Money by mosdii(m): 6:23pm On Sep 17, 2020
You are not stingy at all, you are a wise and prudent man.

You know where your money is going to, to me that 10k you are giving your mom is paining her because she thinks you have your immediate family to cater for.

You are making use of what you have for now which is very good. just continue and make her see reasons.

Big ups and may you find favor to provide more for your family.

Oh! I see. Both of you should still try to talk it over. Things are getting expensive by the day

Don't change your mind. You are earning more than Army ,Navy Police and other Security agencies Recurits. I have two advice for you. Get another source of income for your family in addition to the current one. Finally, please start family planning and don't give birth to another child again.
Re: My Wife Says Am Stingy With My Money by Chimaobi302(m): 6:39pm On Sep 17, 2020
I must say,
You are really trying, mehn I know how me and bro is managing with his salary that's even bigger than yours.
But, if I can suggest, since there is no other way money is coming in apart from the #55k, salary
And...

20k to your wife
10k to your mum
25k for you,

You can take the 5k from your own and give your wife. Then try to manage that 20k,raising 3 kids at once no be beans, if you are to really spend as you should on this kids, even 150k per month is not that enough,( talking about a good standards for the kids), but God that gave you this kids will make a way.. I believe giving her +5k will calm the misunderstandings..


May God bring Ebenezers to you, from today Favour shall be your portion, people will see you/family and bless you,.
In Jesus name

Amen.

Shalom..
