itoldu: A wife is ur unpriceable possession. if you have to rate her as EXPENSIVE, i'm NOT sorry to say but your MARRIAGE is FINISHED . Dude, if u have taken your time to read through my write up you would have come across a part of it where i stated that i have never regretted marrying my wife.Their was no time i stated that my wife is expensive, so please get your priority right. |

No clear cut answer to this question. Every thing depends on the type or your car and that of your wife. but to me cars are more expensive to maintain. no matter hw mad a wife is, she can be rehabilitated and re mould into what u want. |

It's insulting to compare a wife, not even a galfriend, with a car! WTH is a car? If you're not ready for marriage, don't stress yourself! How about jobless guys that depend on their wives? If you even spend more on your car than you do on yourself, shame on you! What won't we see on this forum? |
Re: A Wife Or A Car: Which Is More Expensive To Maintain? by Nobody: 12:47pm On Jul 08, 2012 |
I like to reason outside the box: Poster, so do you mean you dont own a car ? Or someone who is married cant own cars ? Jesus, these comparison seems crazy to me. A man must be able to maintain wife, kids, family, cars and not complain. Its why we are called MAN. Stop the comparison, its an insult to hardworking women. |

Who on earth can compare a car with a wife? They are incomparable because my wife is d most valuable thing in my life. |

chyket: Please We can never compare a woman and a Car it's rather insulting to our womenfolk.How will you feel if your wife compares you to her handset?you are right on point. Perhaps we women should start comparing our Men with our Hairs and Handsets which are some of the things we equally spend money on. Hell! I do not not understand why some Men have no regard for their women who are supposed to be their source of joy. |

It’s all a matter of attitude. Some men hav no regard for women at all – not just their wives but ALL women. This category of men can do anything to a woman -even to kids- and feel no qualms about it. I guess u ar one of them by even bringing up this thread, otherwise how do u even compare a human being , not least ur wife, with a car. My advice to All women is to be very careful about men they associate with. |

A Car Is Just A Petrol Propelled Machine, But A Wife Is A Human With Affection, Care, & Warm Blooded. No Amount Spent On A Wife Is Considered Expensive or Extravagant. |

It's unfortunate that NL have become a forum for all sorts of rubbish posts. I'm surprised that the op who said he's married, is comparing a wife with a car. |

The rate of unintelligence on Nairaland these days is bewildering! When you compare things, what you do is look into them and bring out the properties in them, to show their distinction. Anything can be compared with anything, as long as they have similar things in common. How dare you say it's incongrous to compare a wife with a car?! You pay for a car, you pay for a wife(bride price) & when you don't pay for the car(perhaps you're given or you win a lot), then you don't pay bride price. You nurture a car, you nurture a wife. You maintain a car, to give you comfort, you maintain a wife to give you comfort. A car has properties you often service(tyres, screen, engine...), a wife also has serviceable properties(kids, school fees...). A car can ruin your life(accident), a wife can ruin your life too. A car can be expensive or cheap(depending on the market cost), a wife can be expensive or cheap(depending on the bride price you pay). A car is durable(if well maintained), a wife is durable(if well maintained). A cretin said a car can't give you happiness. Both can give you happiness! Will you be sad that you're sitting in your new limousine? Hence, if a car & a wife share the same similar properties, why can't they be compared in terms of monetary value? Respond to the post and stop furnacing in unripe emotions and illogical sensuousness! As for me, I think maintaining a woman is more expensive, especially in a primitive society like Nigeria. 1 Like |

paulostical2004: Hi dudes, before i got married which i have never regretted, i have had the opportunity of interacting with a couple of my colleagues(eligible bachelors)at my workplace who have always maintain that it is better to live a comfortable life with a posh car to go with it than getting married and settling down. To them, marriage is a capital expenditure that needed enough time and cash to enter into and as such, they have always have the notion that maintaining a home(A Wife and Children)is more expensive to maintaining a car.I have come to realise that apart from having to fuel their cars, most times they keep complaining of gearing problem, engine problem, the need to service their cars,battery problem, unbudgeted expenses as a result of a unexpected problems with their car that needed to be fix etc. . I would appreciate mature and robust contribution on this burning issue: "A Wife or a Car: Which is more expensive to maintain? Buddy you asked such an unserious question and you expect to get serious contribution. You are for real? On what basis is this comparison? They are not of the safe value and as such can't be compared. A serious comparison would have been between your wife and your child or between your car and you motorbyke which one is more expensive to maintain. Infact ¶ consider it an insult to compare a car versus your wife not even girlfriend. Even if the wife is more expensive to maintain that is only because of her value. Do you know how many things a wife can do for you more than a car? So why wouldn't she not be more expensive to maintain |

Well, The money i have spent on my wife can buy many cars time without number. But while a car produces diminishing returns, a good wife produces a new kind of return as the years go by. But then the wife must be a good one and not a gold digger or else you are on your way to your grave. 1 Like |

(2) My girl, she is a woking class (Banker) in a gud firm she is low expensive than my car bot I luv her, she lov me.she alway tel me dat wat she want is lov not mony she manage wit me not lik my car no manage. Though there varies of girls some er killer shop year mony any how they don't cares,guys too shine year eyes b4 u go 4 a lady -if u go any how u c any how. (3) Every day my car consume fuels,every day my baby don,t consume. (4) Every month I service my car.Every month My girl go to her company hospital.( Laggon hospital) |

You said mature comment. First how can you compare a being with a car. It shows how inhuman you are. Second, it shows your perspective concerning your wife. Your wife is a co partner with you. My question is what amount of money is outrageous to be spent for the up keep of a human being? |

osifred: Dude, I strongly believe that the purpose of seun creating nairaland is to afford everyone a platform to discuss, contribute and share ideas on burning issues. The issue in questions was a fallout of a debate and a principle to life closely guided my colleagues at work.I love my wife and my luvly baby girl and i will not exchange them for all the material riches of the world.I just felt we should share our feelings that all.No harm or interior motive intended.All nairalanders please take note. |

@Op How will you like it, if your mother is turned to a property by the gods. And your daughters kill you as soon as you finish training them to atone for this sin your have committed against humanity by comparing the living with the non living. What a shame. Sorry to call you a fool. Am writing with a pain in my heart as I just lost my only daughter in a car accident to a careless driver. Come and take all I have and give me back my daughter. I will be glad to have her and start afresh to labour in life. |

it seems people dont read the post before repling, after a while of working or doing biz, u got some money. then to buy car may cost u abt 1M to marry may cost u the same. the poster said while he decided to marry, his colleaques took cars but were later strugling to raise money to marry while he has reposition to buy a car now. i think this is an intelligent post for a certain group of people with experience to respond nt everybody. the later can read responces nd learn. life progres is gradual . |

It depends. If you buy a good car you will spend less but if you buy a bad car you will spend more same goes for a wife, if you marry a good compassionate wife, you will spend less but if you marry an aristo as a wife, you are completely finished! ![]() |
