In marriage, a steady income works better than a fixed savings. As far as the ceremony goes, and considering the rising cost of things... 1 million Naira may not cover much.

Hello Nairalanders,
I’m 30yrs of age, and I never for once consider getting married, I lost interest totally, but this should incase i decide to tie the nut, how much should I have in my bank account to be on safer side before dragging myself into a life time contract with someone else daughter??


I currently own a car, and managing a salon plus other bussiness thag comes once a while, I’m working towards having a building of my own before getting married, but you see the country is so messed up right now that building a three bed room apartment for yourself is so difficult.
Families and friends are dragging me to get married without considering my financial status, they all felt I have what it takes to get myself a wife......lol tho I’m not moved or shake by their claims but I really need to know this.

Can one settle down with an available balance of a million naira and feel safe?

If you recently get married here, can you pls do a cost implication of the said wedding and cost of running your marriage since inception??
Many guys are scared, I swear

In the presence of a lawyer have a written aggreement with the family and friends asking you to get married that;

1. They will fund your wedding ceremony.
2. They will be responsible for your marital life expenses.

OR

They forever hold their mouth.
Fixed lol

Cheatnotagain:
* The marriage journey is a walk of faith...
From what you’ve said I think you are okay to start the process, your write up was focused on the financial part of the marriage, you’ve not even mentioned the choice of who you will marry which I think is the most important...
* Always focus on the marriage and not the wedding as the latter is just an event of a day or two while the former is for life...
* The steady income part is very important also...
* You also need to know that when you get it right (which I know God will help you to), marriage is a synergy (1 + 1 = 10) where you join efforts with your wife and get tremendous results, so stop seeing everything from your own side of the divide...

why don't you cut your coat according to your cloth.


Sebiotimo.

setobaba:
By getting married to someone i don’t fancy or by arranging a low key wedding?? I’m not even worried that much on the cost of wedding, I’m aggressively worried about the cost of running the marriage. With the situation of this wreck country 5K daily income is not a match for married couples else they want to be static at a spot

fatymore:
I am talking about the planning part. Your wife would support you now

setobaba:
All my life I’ve never had the Luck of a supportive gf to the barest minimum. I don’t see that as an alternative but an option if need be

fatymore:
God will help you. Your personality attracts them. Maybe you are one of those alpha males who always feel they don't female support.

StubbornGENIUS:
20 Million in cash,a steady source of income and a car will do.

setobaba:
You were right, but then answer my question, is it safe for me with the said amount to do all these you listed
