upeasantry huu. 8-10k per month? Lazima bibi amekonda
Am pretty sure Kuna mtu mwingine who is making up the difference… 8k ni peanuts to run a family with a small child a whole month.
Fanya budget ya kununua some things in bulk - makaa, toiletry (sabuni, detergent, kipande, toothpaste, harpic, tissues, cologne, mafuta yenu na ya mtoto, poda…), dry foods (mahindi (unless unatumia green maize), unga, beans, lentils, viazi, green peas, rice, omena, spaghetti, spices, salt, scouring pads,…)
Ukifanya bulk purchases you benefit from economies of scale! Then miscellaneous will be for her “women things” like pads and such!
am I being hard to understand?
The 2k weekly is Miscellaneous (yaani za by the way. Asubuhi unaskia
Wife: “Baba N, utanipatia pesa ya xxxx…” Mind u hii ni after shopping ya almost 14K a month! (hapa hakuna bills, ni tissue, Butter, diapers, hizo panty liners, toothpaste Rice and all sorts of nonesense. There should not be less than 2 of each item in store)…unabuy in bulk hoping to save ndio usitoboke pesa ovyo but bado unaambiwa pesa inahitajika…u need to Marry mpate mtoto/watoto mjue…
Kila mtu na gari yake but …utaskia “si u drop me leo and pick me” na hio gari yake iko 3/4 full! na hupewi hata ya mafuta:D:D
That time wewe mwanaume unalipa Bent,Bills insurance premiums, education policy, loan ya pikup na Ngombe, upkeep ya herdsman…na u fuel gari zote…
Yeye alipe Househelp, afanye shopping na [SIZE=3]kusave ya incase of emergency[/SIZE]…[SIZE=3]coz she earns less[/SIZE]
It doesn’t work! haha…tukifwata timetable religiously weekly food[SIZE=3] (kitoweo, not starch)[/SIZE] should be 1200/-(nyama, mboga, fruit, milk, bread)
Lakini mtu akianza kutaka Lettuce, beetroot ya kublend, Alpen na other cereal…u r fvcked…
Hata hiyo Alpen imebidi ni-ngungu!
You had not said this…and still this is on the lower side.
I am confused. Nasi ni watu wako? I think you should drop the shopping altogether and let her run the ship. We kazi yako ni kutoa pesa na kukula. The rest should be her responsibility with the help of the ‘house manager’ aka mboch.
-
never deal with shopping malls , groceries outlets ,breakdowns etc, uliza estimate ya the whole month , add a 40% markup for miscellaneous and another markup for madam’s pocket money (whether working or not)
-
Set a standing order of the sum total from point 1 above so that the cash is available to wife at the end of every month - or a direct deposit (same time you do your rent or mortgage payments )
-
Stop troubling yourself with small issues like quantity available in stock, all you care about is whether people fed and kid(s) are given the best available care. trouble yourself with big things like where to watch the EPL and who will win or why the PGA aholes took the open to shinecock hills
dont thank me
Can work for a person who lives alone.
Jameni why you counting expenses by the shillings like a business… . This is your family bana, anything you spend on them returns to you and your son.
i bet i know you.from that pic
Buda? Kwani hii budget ni ya family ya panya? 12 freaking hundred a week?? How?
sheikh hukuona kuna mwingine kimakia analipa 700 kshs ikiwa salary ya 2 weeks?maisha ni mangumu huku chini
ehe,wamekwambia ni nini?
Very true. I usually give 20k for those shoppings. From there I literally run for my dear life until the following month. Hiyo ingine the government of the house wajipange!
Kazi is to pay and then come home to eat quietly. Nothing bigger than seeing our Dad strong and being happy.
