I am 48, married with three children who are all in private schools. I earn Sh175,000. My wife calls me ‘Mr Torn pockets’ because she doesn’t understand where I take my money, and even thinks I keep other women. These complaints have become more profound after I suggested that we need to transfer our children to public schools. I don’t own a plot or home upcountry.
My expenses are as follows: House rent Sh30,000, DStv premium Sh11,000, internet and power Sh6,000, food and groceries Sh20,000, fuel 15,000, tithe 17,000, wife allowance Sh10,000, wife’s parents Sh5,000, my parents Sh5,000, househelp Sh12,000, school fees Sh30,000 monthly, miscellaneous Sh5,000 and table banking work group Sh7,000.
