Dear friends I have been thinking for days the possibility of starting my family on a 50k salary. Luckily my partner works too and she earns 95k as a banker. We love each other and have been dating for 5 years. I feel a serious need to make a commitment because guys are seriously on her neck and we are not getting any younger plus she is her mother's only child. Friends I need your advice Thank you 2 Likes |

Marry her ASAP as long as you love her and she loves you.. Before somebody that has been impressing her back to back behind the scene would finally come out from the shadows and come and collect it I mean her |

kekakuz: I will advise you in the interest of your pride and dignity to not only forego marriage now but also marriage to that particular woman. Avoid stories that touch. |

In as much as 50k is too meagre as take home salary, not to talk of settling down, the possiblity cannot also be ruled out. To me 5yrs in a relationship isn't beans, though its not advisable to marry out of pity but you have to seriously consider these: is she someone you can plan your future with? Has she be any instance complain about your take home? Do both of you truly love each other to the extent of walking down the isle? OP take some time to ponder over the aforementioned and there lies the answer you seek. In all pray! Pray!! Pray!!! Cheers! 1 Like |

marry her if you feel she is very matured n won't lord it over you that she earns more than you to avoid sending your chronicles to SDK but don't plan on having children immediately cos that will zap out the whole money before you know it. I can't even believe ure complacent with that salary. find one business to do on the side na. raising a family isn't beans o 2 Likes 1 Share |

If your fiancee is supportive without having to take you for granted, then you two can start a family together. .. Your salary together is enough for now, hopefully you get something better before kids start coming. .. 1 Like |

I can actually see you are in a dilemma on what to do here. If you can answer these questions honestly then you can go ahead to marry her 1. Is she faithful? 2. Is she honest? 3. Is she heady/bossy? 4. Does she make light or see your take-home as a discomfort? 5. Does she love you? 6. Do you really love her or her support? Good luck. I have not met either you or her ..............but your story kinda tells me a little...... that she is good Lest i forget, your salary to me isn't an issue.......while you work hard;just be disciplined and optimistic because i have seen people whose salaries is 30k live happier than people with 100k. Life is about discipline,contentment,Grace |

Bro, If u stay In Lagos, P.H or Abuja, dont ever try it. it is better u remain single and b flexing ur life. But if u stay outside these 3 places, dat money is okay. Even if u stay anywhere in the northern part of the country, the money is more than enough. |

It is a matter of prudent spending....luckily, your heartthrob works too....  But If you remember how much you earn and forget about some certain flamboyant lifestyle, and what your friends and neighbours has, you will be fine. One last advice, I noticed that low income earners tends to have more kids than people with higher income.... I know that the 50k is just a temporary thing.. you will earn more as time goes on.... so u will be fine 1 Like |
