[color=#550000][/color][quote author=damiso]I am afraid IF he has been spoken to so many times about his spending habbits his wife might need to take drastic actions.Much as its not the ONLY factor in a relationship,finance is a very important one.Most times it takes the threat or potential loss of income for people to rethink what they ought to be spending on.

I used to be like that as well(still splurge once in a while as whats the point of life sef ojare ).My mum and hubby used to call me always buying.I could have the same shoe in red,blue,green and i even used to console myself that its on sale so i am getting a good deal.It took people around me losing their jobs to get it into my head that there is no such thing as job security.I also got a stern talking to from my husband as well him actually taking rein of my personal finances for a while.

I know in Nigeria being prudent or thrifty is often seen as stingy but there really is no point keeping up with the joneses if you cant afford it.If you have to live paycheck to paycheck i.e. Literarily and believe me this is not limited to a particular pay grade you are actually living beyond your means.If you feel you need to maintain that lifestyle look for more sources of income.Your friend might need to start drumming up issues like possible job losses at her office.And even though it is preached for one to be open in marriage i think in this case its wisdom if she has some sort of rainy day fund he knows nothing about.


Thank u so very much, will advice her to do just tat

She talks o but he has this mentality of tomorrow being better which is not realistic. If she begins savings and the man eventually knows about it he brings up a reason why they shd spend it and because she does not want to be termed a bad wife she surrenders. They stay in abuja and their kids go to fairly expensive schs but I don't think it's should be a justification why they should not have savings.

Hi nairalanders, I was talking with a friend who works with an international NGO while her husband works in a new generation bank. She told me the husband is nice and caring but loves to spend all his money including hers when it comes in on whatever he so desires. They have got three kids in primary school so I don't see this as been nice at all because any thing can happen considering the uncertainty in their sectors. I told her to wait that I will come back with the best advice for her. She keeps talking to him but I think savings is just not in his blood. Do I tell her to hide some part of the money for rainy day or she should continue to declare her whole salary to him and have him bring up one need after the other. No insults please.

At 120 mama, thanks alot. I will compare both and work with it. God bless

I want a brand new phone

Pls i want to buy my first bb phone and do have only 45k. Which one do i possibly go for please.

Financially we are very ok, just praying for the grace of God to continue to sustain us as we struggle to give them the very best morally, academically, spiritually and all round.

So sorry all, i have been so engrossed with work and family that i am just getting to read the replies. I really appreciate all the responcess. The chinese chart do correspond with the birth of my two girls. I will try this out, God helping me and then come back to testify. Love you all. Really one big family

I think it depends on who your partner is, is ur partner one that supports the savings culture or one that insist on spending everything that comes in. If ur partner beleives in ur goals then tell her/him all that u earn so that tog you can build ur home but if your partner believes in spending all that come in, then my brother/my sister, hide some percentage for rainy day. It will definately come in handy someday and just might be used to save a bad situation in the family. All in all be wise

i have two lovely girls, am very okay with them and wont have minded having a full stop there but hubby want us to have one more trail just in case God helps us and we get a son but am scared of trying so i dont end up with another girl cos my mum also gave birth to 5 female children only. can someone pls help me, i do beleive in the God of miracle but is there something in particular i can do to give me a son. i want to make my husband happier.
