It is true that there are lots of mature single sisters in our society today, it is also true that there are loads of single men in our society. could it be that men not settling down is the reason most women are still single. Most of the men we dated as undergraduate migth still be single 10years afer leaving school ( I know a lot). Most men I have asked, excuse boils down to money even though they have jobs.
This brings me to my question how much should a man be earning before he should start thinking of marriage all things being equal.

450k monthly

The man 350k monthly
The woman 100k monthly...

The woman should be working. It will help the man manage the 350k job...


Don't marry a woman who is not working...

Just saying...

Me I think couple should grow together, economically and other wise, therefore a man doesnt need to own fancy things before marriage from this analogy 150k can can be a bench mark . Saying 450 per month could be unrealistic as only a fraction of the jobs or biz in Nigeria pays that much for starts.
With good management,plan n support from the wife 150 can be enough

250k is just Okay !

This generation has placed money and sex above all else in marriage. The reality can be different if we recognize our peculiarity. No money is enough especially at the beginning, two financially strong partners can get far no matter how little. Marriage built on financial credibility can still fail.

It largely depends on the location....a monthly income of 100k for instance might not go far in Abuja but can in states like Plateau,Kaduna....however,I belief in humble beginnings-you dont need tarty billion for the akant before you take the bold step,start out small and grow together.

Hmmm...150k from the guy and at least 100k from the babe. Totally, monthly running cost shouldn't exceed 150k for both of them while they try to save at least 100k . This shouldn't be bad for starters. They can indeed grow together.

Ishilove, how much do you think that kwanipa boy you've been tailing earns?

Lalasticlala, how much would you say you need to settle with a good snake ?

Biko let's ask the rest of the world.

It depends on your location but anything from 50k upward is a good start n let your wife be productive too.

D impt thing is dt u ve a good wife, d money of a woman shld nt be over emphasised except for lazy dudes. Good wife whether employed or unemployed u r good to go

There is no single income size that fits every family. It depends on their taste.

You can't be on an income of 50-80k and go marry a slay queen. You are simply looking for trouble.

But if you intend making babies immediately, maybe you could manage between 100-150k because a child won't understand your stories when they are hungry.


It is easier if your partner works, otherwise you are the one who bears the entire burden. Yea, 100-150, though still a tight budget in this economy where inflation is skyrocketing.

In present day Nigeria under president Buhari/Osinbajo, you need at least NGN200,000 monthly to live a basic life and live in a decent 2-bedroom apartment in a low income city area in Nigeria.

But if your wife to be is working and earning at least NGNG100,000 monthly, that is very okay to start a family with her...if not, it won't be that easy with the current inflation.

Mathematically:

House rent per annum = NGN350,000; NGN30,000 monthly

Monthly feeding with your wife alone = NGN3000 x 30 = NGN90,000 monthly feeding

Other daily expenditures + helping family members, etc = NGN100,000 monthly

Clothing and others monthly = NGN50,000

Total projected/estimated monthly expenditures = NGN30,000 + NGN90,000 + NGN100,000 + NGN50,000 = NGN270,000

So with an income of NGN270,000 monthly, u can start a decent home with your wife to be, good luck

None. You'll always survive somehow. Too much money is never enough money so keep doubling your hustle!

Income that can put three square meal 7/4/12 for at least three persons in the first bi-matrimonial years.

He who finds a wife finds a better thing...should incase your income is not upgraded, your wife to be; should support the ministry. Marriage built on money is a contract

Marry now with the little you have. Don't wait to
be a millionaire, Have kids early so you can grow
with them. Grow with your kids and succeed with
your wife. You will never finish making money or
achieving your plans. You might still not succeed
at your target year. So start your life early, with
consistency you will grow.


My father said this to me: _When i was 25, i was
talking about making billions before i marry.
Many years later, billions didn't come, yet no kid
no wife... I had an opportunity to marry the most beautiful love
of my life very early, But my fear was, can i
really take care of her? But right now She's married with
Four grown up children. The guy that married her
was still schooling then, but had the courage.
They worked hard and succeeded together. I
failed, so please if you can feed yourself, you can
feed your wife. You have to believe it, marry
early, don't wait.

Don't make our mistakes, I see
my childhood friends play with their kids.. Most
of them are not doing as well as me.. But they
are happier with their families..
Trust me it isn't money only, but Rather your Maturity, your
happiness depends entirely on your wisdom and the way you Handle Life. With
a well planned life they are happier.


Trust me it
isn't money, What is our problem? Build mansion, buy the latest Car in Town, marry Sharon stone type, but still we don't have those things we dreamt of,
and of course the years we wasted, we can never have them neverrrr!!!_


Please don't be 60yrs old and your kids will still
be in their 20's..What are you supposed to be at
that age? Their grand father.
Please young men, take my advice seriously.


Marry, don't be afraid, that girl you are finding too many
fault in has many good qualities if you look well.

Don't think you will get every thing before you
settle down. God can change your life in a blink,
with a good and Focus wife by your side, you will succeed
by God grace....Amen

*Ladies, please try and pass this across to Ur boyfriend or fiancé* *Guys please have a re-think and tell other guys about it too... And consider this advice*°°°°°°°°

250k monthly at least

by choice....life is not the same.

Depends on your location.
Calculate the current monthly expense of you and your partner,
then double it.
If it is less than 70% of your combined incomes, go for the marriage.
