Try living below your means and learn how to increase em means.

@ Guka and more so the wife's. Aaauuuuwi.

Guka, maybe you meant Matakua/Matakwa?

Newfarer looks like you have too much month at the end of your money.

Question, do you have any loans you are repaying like a wedding loan perhaps?

@Oops,
Kiasi.....Maybe i should start a post on good Swahili use....i get pissed when someone says,"Nifungulie hii phombe"....HOW??

Ask the first lady to cater for her own expenses and the kitchen budget if she is working.

Let the lady engage in some income generating activity!!!

...You see if you did not expect things to change after marriage, then you are in the middle of trouble...in fact you are the middle of raw shit!!! Look at this...kabla hujaoa ulikuwa na tabia ya kupitia kwa majirani na kukula huko. And ukikuta majirani wamekula, you could disappear into the local kibanda hotel and eat matumbo and ugali, all for three bob. A week could pass without you getting into the kitchen. Now that has all changed na mama fulani has to spent some good time in the kitchen trying to please your stomach...and all that is out of your pocket!!!
...number 2: Clean House: She has been watching all those episodes about a whole house makeover. That one dirty shit you had has become a mop and instead she has to get four more sets!!!

Do you want to hear more... My friend before things normalize and you get used to it, utaimba!!! But all the same good luck in your marriage. It is a wonderful thing.

@ Magigi
That's inevitable.
