I cant imagine you have worked more than 3years but your saving only 5K.
It's ridiculous ..... with 5K you hope to have a proper wedding , i bet not really easy.
Even a simple engagement ring(without diamond) ady few hundreds, a pair of wedding rings around 1k (cheapest, lightest, 916 gold), still talk about wedding photo shooting, it would at least cost 3K. If want to have simple buffet as wedding, also nit to have some budget, including your fiancee's gown , your coat suit and hair styling etc.

The truth is always cruel, no money no talk.
Either you borrow money from parents, take personal loan ( but i think your financial planning is in super serious problem, so it's bad idea to loan from bank, you might apply for bankruptcy very soon) , or you save up slowly.

And why does your parents disagree you both to marry? There're must be some problems, solve them before you get married. Or else, everything will turn into complicated case once you have married. Think twice, before both of you sign on the registration form.

Every gals also dream to have a nice wedding event, although it's a simple one but it can be meaningful. But too bad, within 5K, nothing much you can do, as I said, everything are related to money.

Dear friends,

After reading all of your advise, I think I should talk to my GF and my mom about signing the paper first. And I think it also more wiser not to take loan at this moment. Maybe when ready, will do the ceremony. Yes, I agree marriage is between me and my GF and not the other people. But I guess I am gonna start a BIG argument with my mom..  sleep.gif

Regarding the house, both of us are thinking to live there after married. Other than new, the location is also excellent and near to my work place. Perhaps after we can own a landed house, that condo will be up for rent/sale. I know it will be hard for me to live soon. Not to mention if we are having kids. But we also feel really want to "smell" a new house for once. So it would be really hard for us to let go and rent cheaper house elsewhere.

Actually after thinking a lot, before this, my life is "live easy life first, let the difficulties come later". So I am going to change that now reversely, to live hard first and happy comes later. Yes I regret my life before. But there is still one small problem.. how to completely change? How to get discipline every day? Do you guys have some specific ways?

p/s: By the way who is TS??
You are really motivating me to marry her now man!  nod.gif
Hmmm.. maybe you forgot to mention the cost of flights to Sabah. Let say from my family (who needed to be there and who also want to be there) that I have to sponsor is 5 pax. Including the accommodation, my GF and I counted, it would be almost RM4k already. And my GF told me that to host the dinner, it should take RM6k++. So total up everything, wedding dinner in Sabah could be more than RM10k... But it is ok, I take your advise about the salary bonus. In my head right now is I want to save, save and save.

Maybe you need to split the wedding expenses into half or some portion, which is paid by your gf.
For example, hair styling for herself & her mom/sis, bride maids ang pau .... etc.....
Or she help to pay your housing loan so that you can save more for the wedding(but make sure you will marry her, if not , it doesn't make sense if she pay the housing loan without her name in SPA or "touch wood" break up b4 ROM) smile.gif
