How Are Young Married Men Coping In This Economy? (19539 Views)

As I was coming from watching Arsenal vs Liverpool yesterday, I checked my pocket and saw 1K. smiley

I decided to buy things to cook Oil Rice, instead of getting home to pick money and coming back again.

The woman told me Rice was 420, Egg 220 and with other little ingredients, my 1K started to struggle. embarassed

Back in 2015, My two pals and I will buy Spaghetti of 120, 3 Eggs of 90, groundnut oil and tin tomato and make Jollof at the cost of around 400.

But N1000 now is struggling to cook a Basic Oil Rice! undecided

So I ask, HOW ARE YOUNG MARRIED GUYS COPING IN THIS ECONOMY?
I asked my friend and he said 'Na God dey run am'. sad

Haven't you heard? He's not T-Pain, he's feeling your pains. Yet he got him self a luxury bullet-proof car and a yatch and built his vice a multi-billion mansion and about to get him a jet.

The economy is only biting the poor and not the rich.

Don't depend on salary. As Bob Marley would say, "some people has means and ways". New challenges everyday. If you plan, you can go outside and hear that inflation or fuel hike has totally condemned your budget. So each day you just 'fight', meet your obligations and do the same the next day.

I always greet my married friends with the hail rankadaidai (they think am kidding, they don't know it is real respect).

As someone said. It is unrealistic to think you would cook rice with 1k. Even stew for one adult for 2 day (assuming you already have oil at home) is about 2k if you eat 011 or 101 (and I buy directly from subsistent farmers, sometimes right in front of their home).

He also wants to remove electricity subsidy and increase tax (when businesses are shutting down).

But 2 or 3kids not bad. Anyone that gives birth to 4 or more kids without the resources to take care of them should be arrested.

Oga...see eh no matter how much you earn... just don't breed like Rabbits abeg!!! Anything can happen anytime especially with the way the country is currently going that forces Businesses to shut down and companies to retrench workers...So you can just loose everything in a twinkle of an eye and your innocent kids will start suffering...l know a millionaire who went broke overnight after he lost 49 million naira in a single bizness deal!...this is just one example oo...We Africans too shallow in our thinkings abeg...let's always put the future and other unforseen circumstances into focus when having kids...not just breed like Rabbits and then hope on God....Egypt, the second most populous country in Africa is just around 110 million (Arab country oo)... Ethiopia in third place is around 103 million...but you people are chasing 400 million...that's if una never am...na only una Sabi fvck sef

APC government pays every married man a sum of ₦500,000 monthly for marriage allowance. Get married so you can enjoy the money too.
See as all the married men will deny it because they don't want you to know the secret of what we are enjoying.

Oh! I understand where you coming from now. It's all love from here though. I also look at guys that start earning small money going into building a family, instead building up themselves first because at the end of the day your later moment in life matters more to yourself and people than earlier moments so why dragging yourself back with responsibility of a family when you aren't stable yet.

"Still breathing" does not mean your kids are doing well.
