Hi guys,

I don't know if someone already posted about this, but I think I really need many opinions regarding this issue of mine.

I have dated my GF for more than 4 years already and decided to marry her next year. The main issue is money. I think that by June/July 2015, my saving can only reach RM5k. Actually I started to work since I was 23 years and now I am 27. I can say that I should actually able to save more than that. However, because life in Klang Valley is like an "ecstasy" to me, um, I mean the entertainment and other "money wasting" activities are hard to resist, so that is the reason I cannot save money. And one year ago, the fact that my mother is just 50-50 about accepting her, had also weakened my moral to marry my GF. Now still not 100% but I am confident that I can "pujuk" my mother.

When I think about my future, I am sure and definite that I want to marry my GF. All of my friends, which some of them just met his other half maybe less than 1 year but married earlier than me. I admit that I feel ashamed a bit but I know marriage is not about what people say, it is about we are ready or not.

So, with humble, I would like to ask your opinion should I marry next year? If I want to, then how about money? I have calculated that my new salary (I just got a new job) can only cover for less than RM200 if I want to borrow money. For my siblings and parents, I don't really want to borrow from them. Side income? Now is nothing. Still planning, but not started anything yet. Others, I have a car and my condo will be completed by May 2015.

Please help!  icon_question.gif  icon_question.gif  icon_question.gif

Okay, you know u have a problem which is 'you spend money on unnecessary activities". To be straight to the point, I hope your activities do not include vice activities.

so do something about it, stop such activities.

Marriage is not just about marrying someone - there are commitments to be made.

Can u afford your monthly loan instalments
Can u afford to have kids

Having Cash reserves is important once the kid comes along.

As to whether u should marry, it depends on whether u love your GF and want to spend the rest of your life with her.

You seem to want to do so - the next step is to organise your finances

Please visit AKPK website for some tips

Marry someone doesn't mean you need to buy house. I've many friends who bought their first house only after 35 years old.

of course, myself also bought house at late age but TS says he got Car and new House going to be ready soon, so I assume he will want to stay there instead of renting out.

So important to be able to afford the loan payments
