frankdre:That is the wrong mentality of most Nigerian single ladies looking for a husband. They believe marriage is like those nonsense Nollywood movies they watch where Genevieve Nnaji is the wife of rich Ramson Noah, and all she does is to sleep, drive a luxury car, come back and shout on her house maids, and then welcome her husband from work with a kiss, this is the ideal marriage of most Nigerian single ladies. This is another reason NBC must talk to Nollywood movie producers to start changing their storyline to encourage Nigerian girls to be thinking of becoming financially productive in marriage 12 Likes 1 Share |

Blu03: N300k monthly recurring cost for 3 people? Does anyone of them have a terminal illness? If you are talking about other expenses and responsibilities to extented families, ok. |

Blu03:a man's kid is family regardless of whether he marries the mother or not. You don't START a family with 3 persons unless have no child and are marrying a single parent. Then there is the option of marrying two women at once. You people make it sound like everyone that gets into marriage must have kids right away. Having kids is a whole different phase from marriage, so not sure why it is always factored into readiness for marriage. Some choose to wait till they are ready for the responsibility of raising children, as it involves way more than just having money. |

When you meet your crush whom you feel like you will lose her and you love her dearly, my friend you will just raise the issue of marriage without even looking into your account. When a girl hooks your heart, even your family will have to struggle with you to tell you that your not ready. |

Re: How Much Would You Have In Your Account Before Thinking Of Marriage? by Nobody: 2:13pm On Feb 18, 2020 |
Bahddo:generally, people (especially Nigerians) do. You get married, you have kids. Thats the expected thing. Thats the angle i'm writting from. If it's just a man and woman, 300k would be more than enough! It would be the same as dating. |

MrBrownJay1: Commitment, exclusivity are implied in marriage, they are not implied whole dating. There is a reason why some people can date for thirteen years, only to get married and divorce each other in a year. You can date without cohabiting, you can date without having to attend family functions, you can date with little to no responsibilities, you can't do same without marriage. It is the psychological state of mind, that is the key difference between these two things. |

for the man, try have at least 800k cash with steady means of income, so that even after wedding you'll not be indebted. then try agree with your spouse to do inhouse traditional marriage, just the family members and you do the traditional rights with bride price payment wich total cost will not be more than 300k. and that's settled. then for white wedding, curt your cost down not to impress people for elaborate wedding and go home hunger with your spouse. 500k can handle your white wedding; you can use your church venue for both reception to avoid additional cost, give a bag of rice of 20k and additional 100k to a catering personnel for their services to provide both food and cake, pay for souvenirs 50k, video & photo coverage 50k, decoration 50k, drinks 100k, suit and wedding gown 50k, DJ for entertainment 20k, and keep the remaining 50k for miscellaneous expense, you can decide to charge the asoebi for their dresses and that cost you nothing, then 10k for make-up artist, you don't need millions to get married but you need finance, understandable planning, love and readyness to make it sweeter and lovely. my humble personal opinion though. 3 Likes |

Blu03:I hope you understand what you are saying. Starting a family is different from having a family. If you are marrying a man and expecting to have kids. You aren't STARTING a family with 3 members. That's all I wanted to point out. The OP is asking how much is enough to feel like one is ready to get married. In other words, how much would cover the wedding and settling down? What exactly is the 300k you have been posting everywhere for? It's small for a wedding and more than enough for monthly expenses (even for a family of 5). |

bukatyne:this is Nigeria. Do you think catering for a baby is cheap? That 300k would be spent in less than a month. As a single lady, which i'm guessing you are, calculate how much you spend on public transportation alone for a year... Calculate how much you spend on feeding, medications, etc. Life isn't cheap. |

Blu03:you aren't financially wise, that's why you think one has to spend 300k in recurring expenses every month just because they have a baby. Are you planning to have surgery every month? You probably don't earn up to half of that but you can easily spend it in less than a month. Baby or not, no man who wants to grow financially should have you around. You are wasteful. 5 Likes |

Bahddo:i get your point now. I meant having a family. If a couple wants to do that, they be financially buoyant. Regarding your last point, i doubt if thats what the op meant... If so, like i pointed out earlier, the 300k would be more than enough. |
