No specific amount. If your wife is understandable, the little is much if God is in it. More so, satisfy your wife financially based on the depth of your pocket 1 Like |

Wilfredpat22:The problem with Nairaland is that there are a lot of kids trying to form adult. I just read what you wrote and then took a look at your picture and I realized you are still a teenager, so no need joining issues with you. When you grow up then you can actually comment on marriage related issues. 4 Likes |

kenlinzo:[ This is gross...... Savage ;Dauthor=Wilfredpat22 post=70503368]But why should a man be giving someone who got complete hands and legs any money whatsoever. It’s nice to go out as couples and pay the bills. It is even bad enough you are the one taking care of the house bills, school fees of 3 children (of which one of the 3 children may not be your own) and you will now be placing her on a Budget. Budget to do what exactly ?? [/quote] |

kenlinzo: I can't agree with you more brother. It becomes better when the man discloses how much he earns. This is so that she understand with her man whenever he gives her something as upkeep (for herself) after all other running expenses for the home. |

EmmGee: You are correct. However the op asked a very dumb question. 1. He alone knows his home; the number of children; the type of housing; the quality of the living condition etc. 2. So he can sit down with the wife to write out what makes up the running expenses and sum up. 3. Next is look at the inflow; in this case his earnings for the month. 4. Running expenses (including feeding and energy costs) for the home shouldn't take more than 30% of his income 5. If it is more than 30%, he has to discuss with the wife to see areas to cut down. 6. he must remember he has to save for the rent, school fees and other projects. |

Pls oga everything depends on ur source of income or better put,d amount of money u make and d size of ur family. Hubby gives me weekly upkeep and nt monthly bt when I calculate it monthly,its up to 50k. My kids r 4 plus me and hubby and any extended family member dt decides to drop by.Now every weekend I prepare soup and stew in large quantities and put in d freezer,dt way I dnt get to cook all d time. U need eggs,yam,plantain ,crayfish and other foodstuffs plus groceries(provision). Hubby gets these provisions apart from the money he gives. So it depends on hw much u earn and d size of ur family. I work,so when Hubby complains dt he does have enough I jst complete it. Am a helpmeet so I help when necessary. Feeding a family well in Nigeria...na money kill am! So jst 4get all these ranting of Nlanders who havent experienced marriage or family life 3 Likes |

Even if you're earning a million naira as a woman, you still need the support of your husband. I made that mistake and I'm regretting it. Op, I don't collect monthly allowance not because I don't need it but I started that way. Young ladies in the house, don't form good wife and cry later. 2 Likes |

Nairalanders don't read or maybe some can't comprehend The question was how much to give the spouse 'that can maintain a home' so we're talking about food, groceries etc etc People are talking about pocket money like money for her monthly let's even assume it's pocket money for the wife, it's not wrong to give her some amount for her personal needs whether she's working or not. Those that even tried to understand the question some are saying that she's working bla bla bla, so if the wife is working the husband shouldn't drop anything for house maintainace abi?

There are so many weaklings parading themselves as men these days. Why will you be paying your wife allowance if her salary is close to yours. That's the height of financial ignorance and insecurity. Rubbish!!! The best method is: you and your wife should have an account where 30 percent of both your incomes are deposited monthly for family upkeep like groceries, house rent, health fees, house electronics, children school fees etc. That way, you and your wife can have personal spending money and personal savings. You both have extra money for your individual upkeep, and you can exchange gifts once in a while from this personal cash. Or you don't know that Men also deserve personal upkeep too?? No wonder Nigerian men die early, you will overwork yourself without enjoying your money well, you keep enriching your wife while she does nothing with her money. When you reach 60, the man dies off due to stress while the wife stays alive and strong to eat the fruits of his labour. Madness. Las Las Na another man go chop your wife when you die. You men should better wise up and enjoy life so you live long. A woman that will respect you will respect you regardless of whether you give her your entire salary or not. 2 Likes |

No gold chains ,no big wedding , no wealth flaunting you hardly hear about him in the new except its about his work bill gates has a massive yacht, lives in a luxurious house. Yet he is still very simple and gives most of him income to the poor. so my dear its possible |

These Nigerian women making noise here are selfish, self-centered idiots who will not allow their husbands grow financially. Just look at the one that said a woman earning 1 million still needs financial support from her husband. Thief!! Ole!! What if the man loses his job? Will you give him exactly that percentage of your salary monthly without insulting him? I pity you men that allow these women have their evil ways just so that you will answer man of the house (mumu men). If you think I'm saying nonsense, compare the family of the husband to that of the wife in most Nigerian marriages today, you will notice that Men hardly take care of their parents or siblings because their selfish wives have successfully shifted the man's resources to herself and just her family members. Useless African mentality. 2 Likes |

After reading comments of some men and women on the first page of this thread, i have a prayer of Thanksgiving. "Heavenly Father, I thank you for making me a hardworking woman and for also giving me a Proud Igbo man that still treats me like a baby girl even though he knows i am making money. Thank you God for the sensible Husband you gave me that knows its his duty to provide. Thank you my Good God for giving me a husband that's wise enough to place me on monthly allowance, without having to come and ask kids on nairaland about it. Amen! Word of advice.. Women, pls marry well. Many of these men are overgrown kids who will come on nairaland to ask what sexxx position he should use in the bedroom with you. Tueh! I am amazed by the comments of some girls here, biko wait till you are married, then come back and stand by your comment.Maybe English is getting hard or they just want nairaland fame. Either ways, it's appalling!It's a man's duty to give his wife money for the upkeep of the home!Even the Bible says a man that can't provide for his family is worse than an infidel! So you will marry a woman into your house and she will be the one feeding you right? Oshey! 2 Likes |

MiztaFabulous:Oga, anything u see here today you brought it upon yourself!As a married man, this conversation isn't open for public debate. You came on nairaland to ask how much money you should give YOUR wife, for the upkeep of YOUR home.. Wow! Let me ask you. Do nairalanders know your salary? Do we know your monthly budget or expenses? So why do you think we can advise u on what to give your wife. Matters about your home isn't a topic for social media debate. Your bedroom is the best place to talk about these issues. Your bedroom isn't only for sleeping and making love.That's where a couple ought to rub minds and come to a joint conclusion about issues of their marriage and home. Don't give 100 level students and others who are still eating their parents free food the opportunity to have a opinion in your marital issues. Madam deserves better! Please sit her down, make a list of the estimated expenses in your home, then work out how much you can give her. My two kobo sha. All the best sir! 1 Like |
