Hmmmm!
Three months to my wedding, I got a job far away from home. In fact, about 8 hours from home. Ogbomoso, Oyo State to Benin Edo State.
Well, the job pays more than what I currently had then. Actually 3× of the then salary.
If I stay in my current job, my then fiance turned wife now, monthly income is 3× mine and I have to man up.
The problem has never been my wife earning more than I did but rather closing the income gap between us. So I took the job
The job is a farm manager position in a remote village in Benin, Edo State. No network, no light, no road. So bad that if I have to communicate effectively with my fiance, without interruption, I will have to spend ₦1000 as transport fare to where there is good network. After the day work on farm that runs from 8am till 4pm.
Besides, almost all the guys there smoke indian hemp.
The first question I ask myself is; carrer-wise, did this make sense? How will I know of emerging trends in the market?

Two, is this the type of environment, I want to raise my children? A community of Indian hemp smokers and unkempt hairs?
Three, let’s say my fiance resigned from her job, what job have I secure for her or what money did I have to give her to start a business?
If I said my wife should be at home, and I will be visiting monthly, it still doesn’t make economic sense. Why? Because, I will have to travel on Friday evening, all things being equal, I should get home by 11pm. By Saturday, I will sure visit my friends and parents and by Sunday afternoon, I am on way back in order to resume on month. The transport fee will cost me about ₦10,000 to and fro .
I will have to drop home maintenance fee for my wife and will also eat at my workplace. After everything, what will be left will be ₦5000. Why this stress?
What sacrifices have you made in life?
After all these introspection, I discovered that the cons far outweigh the pros, a month to my wedding, I resigned and return to my former workplace which this saying in mind, let the worse that want to happen happened, God is on the throne.
Praise God, the bad did not happen talk less of the worst and I joined my wife and both of us combined our little resources together and live happily after.
Now, tell me what sacrifices have you made in your life?
