Should I get marriage when I don't have much money?

Since you treasure this relationship so much, you may start to plan for your marriage perhaps one year from now. Plan and budget for some savings while you are still young now. Get a stable job with good income, plan for part time job weekend to save for your dream house. Both of you must budget now for a better future. Buy a cheaper house now and later when you are much richer then can upgrade a better home. Why pay rental to others, might as well the money use to pay for own home. Have children later after married for one year when you all are financially prepared. This is a serious thought, planning is important, love is important too... It is not easy to find true love, therefore start planning now. A bit of sacrifice now is worth for better future together. All the best

Hello there, tkonlinevn..^^ I am so glad i found your discussion about "getting married" I was thinking that one a couple of months ago and I even had a fight with my boyfriend. I really wanted to settle down. His time is limited and he got strict parents that do not allow him to come home late. And, I am old enough to think about marriage already. But the problem is, we are not financially stable. And he never mentioned anything about plans.. think he's not interested to tie a know with me.. But now, i really don't know what to do. I just give up. And, save something for myself only. I lost the interest of marriage. My point is.. when you want to get married you to ask your boyfriends if he's ready to get married too. In that case, both of you do work it out.

Hi yes yes yes get married now. It does not matter how much money you have you still have the question "can we afford it" and as a mum and grandmother I can tell you that if we had waited till we could afford it I would not be either. You will manage, you will be together and you have love so yes you will cope and I wish you every happiness x

Well this is the time to decide whats important to you, money or love, You may get money after marriage but you may not get a lover after getting money, so its time for now or never, my suggestion is go for it Good Luck

i think you should marry even if you have much money..as long as both of you have a stable job.., despite the meager salaries you're earning.., it can help.. you don't have to spend a lot on your wedding.., you can be economical.. i think your age is right for bearing a child...=)

It depends. A lot can change over time. My husband and I got married before he had finished school, so we had no money - we had to struggle together. I don't think you have to have money to get married, just have the same plans for how you are going to get money.

Hi, Marriage is one in a lifetime.It is best to consider carefully before tying a knot. To build up a family is not that simple. Having a stable job and good finance position are quite important. Of course, after get married, there is a possibility to have a kid too. However, thinking twice before having a kid. Must have a proper planning in the first place before it happens.

Yes, as other myLotters advise...I truly believe what you need to do now is get your love one to sit and discuss on how to go about it. Does both of you willing to go beyond the comfort zone to achieve your true love and dream. If the answer is a big Yes, then come out with a workable and practical plan and budget. Try to gradually save and plan for your wedding. With the inflation rate and the economical situation, one have to be very discipline and practical. I believe Love can empower both of you to achieve financial freedom. Put efforts and I believe you can save ..spend on your need not on wants/luxuries. All the best

when you love someone it doesn't matter if you have money money is not everything and life is scarey but if you work at it together and truely love each other then everything will work out getting married or not is not going to stabilize your life you 2 have to stabilize your lifes but i do have this advice to you please cherish every moment you have together and make lots of memory's because the years go by quickly and life is very short.

Marriage is a very important step in life and should never be entered into lightly. When my husband and I got married three years ago we had saved up money for the wedding as well as a downpayment for a house. It took a lot of hard work,but it was well worth it. We were not rich when we got married. Now, we are struggling because of the economy, but we are managing somehow. We are hoping that things will get better for us by the end of the year. He is in school and I will be going back soon. We will be getting financial aid so that helps a lot. Also, I am hoping to start an online business in hopes to make money soon. I am also looking for work outside the home in hopes to better my financial situation. I would sit down and write out your goals. Discuss these together.

Why not? When I got married, my husband is the only who has a job and he also doesnt earn that much. What he earns was just enough for a two weeks budget. I also didnt hesitate in looking for a job. I waited for 2 months until I was hired in a company. I think your purpose is noble, getting married is a huge responsibility but of course marriage is a covenant you made with your partner and with God. Remember that God will always be there to help you as long as you also help yourself. Good luck and dont be scared!

It doesn't mean you can't get married when you don't have money.For me money is not needed if we really love each other and have full trust.Rather than money,love and care is the must for the couple.After becoming a mom naturally we will come to know how to take care of our child,no one had to teach at that time.Yea you can marry and have a happy life with him.

what is much money ?? Every body want money .. full life. many people dont have good money that means they cant marry .. i know you are worried about your kids future .. but you can give best future for your kids.

Marriage is a serious relationship which we should not take it easily. If you are not financially prepared then do not go for it. If you are worried, take some time to think about it many times. You can postpone your marriage and save more, but in case you can maintain the financial status with your jobs, then go for it. Besides, as long as your lover is responsible enough, then you can both work it out and help each other.

My husband and I got married and admittedly we wouldn't have had some of the stuff we did have without help from family when it came to money. We don't have our own place yet but we are both happy where we are, and well like the first person said, if you're waiting for money you might find the money and then no happiness.
