Can a man settle down with peanut salary

No insult pls.. Can a man settle down with 50k Monthly salary. ?

In Abuja here i know of a GRADUATE with 25k and he has a wife and 3 children.

once in a while there might be cash crunch irrespective of how much you earn but winning your wife's heart and soul from day one would help things when money fails. a sexually satisfied wife is a contented woman. i hope you get the message phedam.

Chai, that guy is mean. Three kids? ??

50k in this economy ?, well it depends on your lifestyle and the kind of wife you have .

Got no better explanation than the experience share here yesterday FP . how sm1 was surviving with #1500 a groundnut seller . Baffles me sha

My Dear Sister, there's a clear difference in making ₦1,500 as monthly profit and surviving with ₦1,500 monthly, that's ₦50/day kwa. How is that possible? Even street beggars live on more than ₦50/day.

For real? So the best way to drive out poverty is to satisfy her sexually. No wonder poor people born pass church rat.

You quoting me as if am the one that said it, someone was interviewed and he confessed that how he has been surviving . That an experience and it takes rare character to be there.

Look around you my dear, people are suffering. Interact with the ordinary man on the streets
Ask questions, I see a lot of them daily and some don't even have any means of livelihood to
even eat daily meals. I live in Abuja where things are extremely expensive. I met a young man
who's salary is 5k....I mean #5,000. No gimmicks, no lies...we're in a mess already as a nation.

₦5,000 salary monthly is something else, not doubting you, but earning 5k monthly is `~₦167/day haa this is too wicked of an income!

I mean how can such person survive without any extra source of income? Abeg I need someone to enlighten me more on this, How can I survive with 5k/month?

Cherishing:
If a man can survive with #1500 monthly income, what stops one from surviving with #50000.
Its all about planning and adjusting ones lifestyle to income generated.

sweetheart, my question now is "can you settle with a man of that income...

YES 50k CAN SUSTAIN A FAMILY EVEN AT THE MOMENT.

-Depends on the kind of lady u are about getting married to. Is she materialistic? Do you both understand yourselves very well? Hope she's not the type that would leave you to flirt outside due to lack of maintenance on ur part?

Are you working on getting a better Job?

-If your Location is outside Port-Harcourt, then your Anwser is YES even if you reside in Abuja.


-People is Abuja can comfortably travel to Nassarawa/Jos and get food Items very cheap and stock it at home.

-But be mindful of how you give birth. Don't be like 'Ubong' that impregnates his wife every year.

-if you are leaving in Lagos, Abuja, the ONLY challenge is Accommodation. If you are in PH, the challenge is NOT accommodation cos there are cheaper Areas like Obigbo, Diobu, Igwurita where u can get cheaper houses and these areas are less than 30 minutes to main Town. The challenge here is Food Stuffs.


-FINALLY, Dont allow anyone discorage you. REMEMBER what the bible says about finding a wife? So go ahead as you have heavenly backup.

I know some people will misquote me that am being religious. BUT i have been situations turn around for good after marriage on several couple's lives.

1500....Where is that man?

Itzurboi:
sweetheart, my question now is "can you settle with a man of that income...

Sincerely speaking I can.

Some ignorant folks here keep saying if you have an understanding wife ke?
Obviously some don't know the genetic make up of the species called women
Every body has got his/her breaking point. Even if you buy your wife a jeep last night and you quarrel with her this morning, she will still remind you again, "What have you even done for me other men are not doing for their wives and even more ". Talk less of 50k earner.

Ranchhoddas:
1500....Where is that man?

ask the op/mod that brought the topic to fp yesterday

Guy, if your wife is working, then no problem. If not, forget it. Secondly, whats the job prospects of your current job? How long do you think you can remain on the salary scale? Do you have other business (es) aside he job?

Bottomline is that if that's the only source of income for your home, please don't settle down with that kind of amount.

Is not easy but you can do it with proper planning.
Baba I am talking from experience. I was earning 57k when I got married plus I was still earning same thing when my wife gave birth to our baby.

Marriage open unexpected doors because God knows you now have responsibilities and since marriage is ordained by him, he will sustain your home. Immediately my wife gave birth, I got another job through divine grace which was better than the first and pays 130k per month.


Above all be prayerful and make sure your wife is someone that is willing to go through the storm with you and manage with the little you have for now because with time God will pick your call and bless you with new job

buharisbae:
The truth is No u can't settle down with it except u are gonna be single for life

because if I calculate all the expenses ull spend after settlement ull see that 50k isn't enoff for ur self alone

taking care of your wife is draining about 20% of your salary and talk more of feeding cost or home items and even when u think of having children trust me you'll be frustrated its better u chill for a year save a lot if you can save up to 2M then you can settle down because u have some thing to back u up


MY 2 CENT!

Madam we are not looking for lazy wives who will drain 20% of our income. We want to have a partner, an helper a woman who will compliment us. not one fool who cannot contribute a penny to the family. may God forbid.

Cherishing:

Sincerely speaking I can.

sweetheart, are you engaged, if no, we can spice things up and make a better and more brighter future.... But wait ooo, dat your shoe, you sure sey my salary fit buy 2pair.... Lol

Yes I read the thread too, but the guy in question got ₦1,500/monthly after eating twice a day at his employer's expense, that's quite different from surviving on ₦1,500/monthly! TOL Babe

if you have a good result, or you had learnt a trade before which you are good at and your woman has something doing hit the green button. majority of the true great men(I call them true great men because they were not born with silver spoon like the likes of dangote) you see today started very little but they had big plans and they never gave up on them.

Taking care of wife is 20% of sal

LynnPetra:


Chai, that guy is mean. Three kids? ??

A boy and 2 girls, 6 years, 4 and 2 respectively and his wife is on 20k salary. They are both private school Teachers.

Cherishing:

I have a man and he earns more than that, me start thinking of another man that earns below him is tantamount to suicide mission

in other words you can't settle with a 50k monthly man

lolz, married folks would get my point. P.S my previous post recommended one child.

Settled down with 50k!
To settle down with 50k is not the problem, its depend on where you live, there are some states where you cant live with with low sallary due to high of all stuff, (accomondation, food stuff) and so on, and its aslo depend how on how you can endure and maximise your spending, and its also depend on how you and your spouse understand each other, there are many people outside there don't have job talkless of earn 50k per month, but they settle down and live their life normally, so...
1, Its depend on the kind of person you are, (how you can manage).
2, Its depend on your spouse (how much she understand).
3, And its depend on the state you are.

Yes if whoever you are settling with earns atleast a 100k. If not, better rescue yourself first.
