| How Do I Convince My Boyfriend To Save In My Bank? by Banilla: 3:42pm On Jan 12, 2023 |
Mods, take this to the front page. Thank you. Hi everyone! I have a boyfriend, we've been together for a year. I absolutely love him, he's my whole world! And that's the reason I'm pressuring him to save, if we're going to have a future together. And he's down for it, he makes nothing less than 200k monthly. I'm still a student, searching for a decent job. I can't invest sh** presently but I hope to start soon. Yesterday, I brought it up. I want him to send money monthly to my bank account, no matter how little. I'll save it for him. He's hesitating. He said I should be patient, he'll give me everything I need but he wants more time. I don't want to ruin our relationship but I need his co-operation. I'm scared he might leave me, after I've given him the best years of my life. I subtly threatened him that my family would force me to marry a Nigerian but he made a joke out of it, saying I would never, that I'm his...  What should I do? NB: I've never taken a dime from him. He drinks often and I don't want him spending 'our future' on alcohol! I'm way better at saving. I'm worried if I press the subject, he'll get mad at me. I also told him I want to leave Nigeria, he thinks it's a good idea and I also told him I can't afford it alone. He said he needs time. Doesn't he love me? Should I let it go? Or insist we resolve this? 1 Like 4 Shares |

He should save in your bank, I don't understand did he tell you his bank has problem or he doesn't know how to save money. Madam keep your eyes out of his money and focus on your education if not, no guy would take you serious. This I have seen. 901 Likes 62 Shares |

FalseProphet1:I'm not spending his money! Read the post. One of us has to hold it. We can't open a joint account, too far away to do so. So what matters is who. And I'm better suited 4 Likes 9 Shares |

Banilla:You're not his wife so he has no business opening a joint account with you. You're just a girlfriend who can dump him tomorrow and abscond with his hard-earned money. Leave him alone and Hussle for yourself. 1027 Likes 93 Shares |

FalseProphet1:You don't know me! I love him. Why would I betray him? I'll take a bullet for him if I have to. He wants to marry me! The joint account is to save for us both. That's why Nigerians are where they are, we are planning long term. You can't build a future on love alone. I'm being reasonable. 23 Likes 7 Shares |

you can only suggest a savings plan/pattern for him...you telling him to save in your account is WRONG.. focus on your own CAREER...talks like these makes most men disrespect women...when I read the topic,I even thought you work in a bank and you are advising him to open an account with your bank NB: YOU ARE ONLY A GIRLFRIEND,IF THE TABLES WHERE TURNED WOULD YOU SAVE IN IS BANK ACCOUNT?..you have no right to tell him to save in your account except he is the one that ones too.. GIRL GIVE YOURSELF SOME RESPECT...things like these doesn't always end well...if the guy doesn't want to save in your account,let him be,no need pressurizing him, financial matters Should be decided between you two only...good luck 275 Likes 10 Shares |

Banilla:don't pressure him at all.. don't bring up the issue with him again...just only suggest and encourage him to have a savings account different from his normal account..but please don't mention that part of you wanting him to save in your account...has it occurred to you that he might be seeking advise from people on this matter too?..and most men will advise him that you are after his Money...YOUR INTENTIONS MAYBE GOOD,BUT ITS NOT ALL GOOD INTENTIONS THAT GOES DOWN WELL WITH PEOPLE..so just suggest for him and from time to time ask him how he is doing with the savings that's all 232 Likes 10 Shares |

I have a few questions I'd like to ask you  ...Would you save money in your boyfriend's account? ...If things were to go south, what's the guarantee that you would return all the money he saved in your account back to him peacefully ? ...Why aren't you advising him to open a fixed deposit account in any of the banks? Why must it be your own account? ...141 Likes 12 Shares |

rickpat:I suppose. We weren't born rich, so I absolutely want us to live better. When I had a job, I saved but I don't think he did. And it's frustrating. He talks alot about the future but all this time, we haven't really started working towards achieving any of our goals, atleast I'm trying despite living in the poorest country. He's doing better, so I expect some effort but I'm getting nothing. I'll encourage him to save, I did when he first got the job, five months after we started dating. I know he'll quit again, he keeps doing it. All I need is stability. Or I should just risk it? Stop planning, depend on fate? Trust him to make the best decision for us both? 7 Likes |

@rickpat Does this girl look like she has good intentions for that guy? ... Because why exactly is she suggesting her own bank? ...Aren't they online saving platforms? How about a fixed deposit account? Omorr... Leave am... This girl has bad plans for that guy ...And did you also read the part where she said she "subtly threatened him"? ...After the guy has saved like 500k in her account, when he decides to leave her, she will also "subtly threaten" him again ...This time she'll be like, "if you leave me, forget about your money"  ... And if them get issues, she will also "subtly threaten " him and be like, "if you don't apologize, forget about your money" ...In summary... I see more "subtle threats" in the near future ...159 Likes 12 Shares |

Fahvvy:He's one the other side of the world! How can I be sure? He's young, indecisive... I love h, and I don't want us to ever break up. But long distance relationships don't last! If we don't settle down quick, we are over. And I don't want to give all my heart to someone who could break it. Half the time we were together, he had no job. And I didn't mind cause the relationship was relatively young. Now, we need to work towards something. What's the point if we don't? I won't spend his money, it's a promise. But either that or I find some way to pressure him into saving. 3 Likes 1 Share |

@Banilla It's a good thing that you want him to save, but are you sure you're disciplined enough not to use the money? Since he says he needs time, I think you should respect his wishes before it turns into a bitter fight. But you can still continue to drop hints and drop subtle messages on why he should save. Hopefully he gets it. 5 Likes |

Banilla: Hahahahah ...I'm actually enjoying seeing you proving point ...Madam... If you truly love that guy as much as you say you do, then tell him to save in any account that is not yours! ...Asking him to save money in your account is VERRRRYY SUSPICIOUS and trust me, if I were in the shoes of your man, this would be a VERRRRRY HUGE RED FLAG ...Advising him to save money is Awesome!! But advising him to save in YOUR account, nahhh that's just dubious if you ask me ...32 Likes 1 Share |

rickpat: Benefit of doubt? ...Not in this case sir ...See eh... I'm not against her advising her man to save, that's a very great advice, but my bone of contention is, WHY EXACTLY SHOULD IT BE IN HER OWN ACCOUNT? Is there something special about her account that she's not telling us? ... Abi if he saves the money else where, would the money not save? ...Oga sef would even get interest if he opens a fixed deposit as against saving it in her bank where bank would take monthly charges ...Chief, leave that thing ... This girl has mahd plans for that guy ...She wants to use that guys money as a "security measure" just in case things goes south ...31 Likes 3 Shares |
