I think the assumption of the impracticability of the book is a mind-set just as some people have noted. Some of the salient points raised in the book, which validate its practicability even in our environment, are:

- Investment does not have to start big. Start small and build gradually.

- Start investment early. That is a lesson for every parent. Parents should inculcate the habit of savings and investments in their children and wards.

- Do not eat your tomorrow today. Stop buying liabilities, buy into assets. Kiyosaki defines an asset as anything that puts money into your pocket while a liability is anything that removes money from your pocket.

- Create streams of income. You cannot be rich on salary. That is a truth. How many struggle to keep family together through salary.

- Riches are achievable. Anybody can become wealthy. Environment is not a factor. It all begins from within you.

Early menopause is the onset of menopause before the age of 45. There are many reasons for this condition in women.
One, when a woman’s ovaries refuse to perform their primary functions. These functions are production of eggs also known as ova and production of ovulating hormones. When ovaries refuse to perform their primary function, it is a problem known as premature ovarian failure. One factor that predisposes a woman to premature ovarian failure is when the body produces certain antibodies against the production of ova and menses. Premature ovarian failure can be inherited. In other word, if a woman’s mother has the condition or its predispositions, it can be transferred to her. Another factor is that some women have damn too small eggs in their ovaries. Thus, such women should expect the onset of menopause early in life.

I quite I agree with you there. We have a generation who has lost her sense of sanctity and dignity. We shamelessly celebrate promiscuity in the name of opportunity. No wonder fathers sleep with daughters, mothers with sons and siblings with each other. God Help us

The problem I have now is that we have started making a family and I believe we need more funds since he is responsible for his family back at home and the family me and him are creating. I cant seem to get a decent well paid job where we are and he doesn't want me to leave to go work in another town cos he is worried such move will break our family apart.

Your family financial concern is a genuine one. However, there are certain things you cannot trade for your family's togetherness. Listen to your husband. Manage the little you have now. Do not try to impress people not even your family members. It is the best for couples to live together.

Yes, you are confronted with a challenge. Do not be perturbed. It's a season. Every couple has been there and will there. But, it will pass away. That should be a consolation for you and your husband. At such a critical time like this, there is a tendency to want to rush things. Be patient. Work and walk through it with your husband.

And without sounding religious, I cannot but say it- Be Prayerful. Divinity factor cannot be undermined.

Inherent in your question is the answer. When is a man old enough to marry? The highlighted is the answer. Timeliness of marriage is not a function of how old. The timeliness of marriage is a function of how man. As against what the poster said, there is no place in the bible where age was a deciding factor as to when to marry. Infact, the first man got married few days after he was born. And as per references to religious books, many of such books are theorized on unfounded truth. Thus, they could be misleading.

A man is old enough to marry when he is a man. You are not a man just because you have that long and big uncontrollable conduit pipe dangling between your legs. It even requires being a man to put that thing under control. Boys dangle that thing all over the places looking for anything in skirts to devour. Neither are you a man because you have a deep baritone voice nor grey hair covering your head.

Your are old enough to marry when you become a man. Men take responsibilities. Men take full grasp of their life and future;their finances ( you don't have to have all the millions), emotions and relationships. So, if you possess these characteristics, you are old enough to marry.

There can never be any case or justification for adultery. Though, the lady in question and her husband could have been match-made by whoever, they made their choices. Marriage is not for babies;marriage is a choice. One of the follies pervading our society is people not taking full responsibilities for the choices they make. They rather blame somebody, something or even the 'innocent' devil for errors committed.

My advice for your friend is this. Just like deniyor had advised, let her concentrate on making her marriage works. What gives her the impression that the wife of her newly found lover will not wake up from her slumber and make a reclaim to her husband? And when that happens, she becomes a complete loser. Blunt truth is, divorce is not an option or a way out. It hurts more. She should let go of the strange man and channel her energies, passion, attention and emotion on her marriage in ensuring it works.
