Acidosis:


So after making all the crypto billions, you will still settle for 2k dates? Some people had already achieved your 5 year targets, and they have chosen to raise their game. You cannot force a 2k date on everyone. With 2k, you won't even get a plate of food in some restaurants. Life is in classes, so is our pockets. Like I said in your previous thread, how much you spend on your date isn't so much of an issue for me, but seeing how you sat to calculate a 2k expense with no room for contingencies shows an innate issue. You need to fight it.

All is still a gamble, but if i ever achieve my target, become a millionaire, then i can do whatever the Bleep i want. I can choose to go on dates with empty pocket or i can choose to go on with whatever amount i want to. But for now i need to be sagacious in my spending hence the cap.

Gaspardd:

Ill rather be comfortable and happy with my choices at the risk of being stupid than to feel sad and inconvenient myself cuz i want to appear mature.

Good day.
I understand you are a gentleman and have an acceptable level of self awareness and education. With this in mind, were you truly comfortable borrowing a shirt from your neighbor for a date? After the date, why were you disturbed, worried about your "reputation"
Would it not be self denial not to tell yourself a simple fact? Or, "creased" clothes? Perhaps what you made up for in frugality you had so lost in tact and wit? We aren't perfect, it's not about who is right but what is right .. enjoy your sojourn

Pple borrow cars to go on a date, so whats d big deal?

OP don’t let anyone misstate your frugal lifestyle as stinginess, it’s the Nigerian mentality creeping in. I know someone popping champagne during his paid job, only for him to start begging for money 2 weeks after loosing that job.

It’s the Nigerian style to shame and punish you for your frugality in one of the poorest countries on earth. I can assure you that your mentality will take you to a higher ground and don’t let the nay sayers change your mindset towards money, remember what they say about money in economics “a scarce commodity”.

Here in Europe a date is just a cup of coffee, please don’t let those hungry mofos convince you otherwise. If you are a serial dater like me, you would run into some dates where you or the girl just don’t feel any sparks, so it’s better to keep the spendings very basic on a first date.

You get a +1 rep from me for your attitude towards money and future plans and investment.

Just admit you are broke and stop talking about saving money for some bushittt investment.

You have to understand something brother.

1. How rich we are is not in the money we spend on dates but the money in our account and how well we take care of ourselves.

2. It is completely your choice how much you want to spend on a date. From your posts, it's obvious you struggle to make money just like some of us are doing, however, you must understand that things isn't the way it should be in the country again. Guys who went before you spoilt the road, they monetized everything including dates. This is not the way it should be but that is the norm now.

3. Some of the ladies insulting you and calling you out are broke. They do not have up to 500k in their account let alone 1m+. Most of those ladies up there still beg for subscription and phone money. Ignore them bro, they are broke. Those ladies has never spent a dime on a date, however, they believe a guy should empty his account on a date they will only take pictures only for Facebook.

4. Like someone said, life is in classes and whichever class you belong to, just do the right thing. 2k may not be cool for a date but it's not bad if it's your choice. Personally, I spend more on a date but it doesn't happen always.

5. Don't allow posts here to get to you, ignore the team "I pity your wife", those ladies end up with a broke man. In fact they date broke people who spend their life trying to please women with money.

6. If you meet a deserving lady, one who is honest and homely and who has contributed something meaningful to your life, do not hesitate to spend on her. If she deserves it, treat her like a queen. But If you meet the kind of ladies talking trash on this post? You might have to reduce your budget. 2k is too big for them.

7. Remember, no matter how much you spend on a lady, if she sees a bigger maga, she will boycott your life. Most of them don't worth it.

8. Make money, make more money, buy properties, get yourself a ride, live in a cool place, spend on your parents, wife and siblings and ignore the rest. Until women calls you a stingy fellow, then you are not financially responsible. Ignore comments from struggling guys here. Some of them are students and corpers.

9. Again, remember, nairaland is a faceless forum. Everyone is a millionaire here and spends billions of a date.

Gaspardd:

Thanks for the props bro. Really appreciated. Fake pple here acting like we re on a 700usd minimum wage and shìt

Even if we are on a $700 minimum wage, its still not enough to spend too much on a date.

Little analysis.

From the comments above, let's say 10k is the minimum one should spend on a date then he would be called an average guy. Imagine going on a date 4 times a month. 1/week, that's like 40k.This is aside the normal hangouts with guys that should take like 5k/week.

Now, most people that posted here are on a 50-80k Salary. Spending more than half of their salary is plain stupidity.

Ishilove:

The day I was involved in a road accident was the day my mentality about money changed. I'm a very frugal person myself, and although I still am, that day, with blood seeping out my nose, made me realize that life is very fragile and can disappear in an instant, like a puff of smoke. When this happens, everything you have worked for is gone and will not go with you where you're headed.

I'm not a reckless spender and I keep a tight rein on my finances, but when I need to spend, I don't without looking back. I don't deny myself life's little pleasures, and I sure as heck don't put a cap of 2,000 naira on ANYTHING. What is 2,000 naira in Nigeria today? How much fuel can it buy for your car? How much is that for tfare alone? How can that impact on a date, no matter how casual it is?

The OP thinks he is being wise but the scriptures said a fool and his money soon parted ways.

This kind of stinginess is mind boggling.

Their is a time for everything. A time to save and a time to spend.

If you invite someone out on a a date, it is doesn't seem like a time to save.

Some people are making it seem like eating on a date is an abomination... that it is gluttonous. Someone even said he would order doughnut and water even without asking. The orientation is different.

And i think there is a misconception about the word "date". It seems there is another meaning in Nigerian English these days.

Well i had to google it, cus i see u re interpreting everything in terms of food.

Smh.

Should i also post my google search on what is required when you invite a lady on a date?

Just let it rest. As i told someone else, we cannot agree on this issue.

1,400 is enough for a date for you, i disagree.

We are both from different backgrounds and we can agree to disagree.

When i said it is mentality thing, he fought it. Why did he even initiate a date? Now he is bragging about crypto and he budgets 2k for a date.

Gaspardd:


Well i invest 2/3 of my salary, Been buying crypto and stuff and i am happy whenever i check my bags everyday. Still bought more this morning sef. U see, these re the things i prefer to do with my money. Maybe all will go to zero but i am damn sure that if the prices go back to d all time high? I will be having 6figures of money in usd. That might take me 5yrs or sth but i am very patient. And maybe they will all go to zero idk but what i am sure of is that their prices will never be what they re now.
All in all, i am very greatful and happy with my lifestyle.

Let me have the list of coins you bought? And from which exchanger platform you bought them...

I will tell you if you will make money through this in five years or not...
I sold hydro(333,333), organic and many more token worth 2 million plus then. Hydro which I received as free airdrop on 3 diff accounts.

If cryto is what u plan will lift you up in 5 years to come then I can boldly tell you to work on your mentality and exposure.

I don't have issue with your 2k date. We spend base on our class and taste e.t.c but your mentality towards life is poor. You in your former post tagged yourself cheap and claims you live cheap( that's a very bad qualification of yourselve because it will cloud your judgement and dampen your aspirations).

Then your stance saying 2k date is the cool date is wrong, it can be below 2k or above 2k depending on your pocket. Inshort no standard amount just spend within your class and no over do for any girl because she will still open leg for another guy.

Gaspardd:

Pple borrow cars to go on a date, so whats d big deal?

To me this is wrong, why borrow a car to go on a date?
Even yourself borrowing cloth to go on a date is wrong too. You suppose to wash and iron the one you have. Package yourself well with the little you have and you will be respected. Stop seeing yourself as cheap and living cheap like you claimed but add value to yourself with the little you have.
For you to borrow cloth means you wanna "impress", for you to even go with 2k equally means u wanna "impress" but you couldn't afford more than that not that you can't spend more than that.


People like you are the ones that will spend lot of money to buy new cloth and shoe beacause of a date[ . if you av money. Whereas, a sharp and broke nigga will just use sweet talk to control the babe come in house and have fun without spending upto 1k self.

My guy it depends on your level.You are spending according to your level. If you use 10k on a date, you alone will bear the consequences.No one here will give you money when you become broke for that month. So spend your money wisely.That lady you think you want to impress will leave you for another maga when she sees him. Na so majority be. However 2k is not the maximum you can spend on a date .It all depends on your pocket.But remember NEVER YOU SPEND ON A DATE TO IMPRESS ANYBODY

Future plan and investment is cryto right....lwkmd...he is buying cryto coins to blow in five years time. When they are local farm product he can buy and sell in 2-3months time with much low risk.

Soya beans @december to this period have increase by 40% profit, dry groundnut have increased by 50% profit, red oil loading e.t.c. this is heat period you no fit buy ice block @#80 and resel it @#150 In areas were there are no light abi.

Person wey they think of cryto as investment in this current time unlike before oo doesnt know anything about bizness And investment in real world.

At some point in cryto, it's good and better to hold money in the bank than buy cryto coin. I remembered a friend that bought load of TRX and ripple then thinking the coin will keep mooning. It didn't even after TRX owners held some events that suppose to boost the coin then. I was lucky to sell when the whales were pumping it then. Cryto is calculation and luck. It can make someone rich overnight or poor overnight. Attimes, it will tie down money and one might wait forever for the coin to moon again.

I sold all my coins then, gain in some and lose in some before the market turns a deep red.

Started fish farming and I bought a truck for transport business. I recouped back my capital now with the truck and currently earning 500k+ on it monthly. Inline with some other businesses.
