I am in a relationship for 7 years now and we are already on a marriageable age. We've seen some of our friends tie the knot, but we're not seeing ourselves do it anytime soon YET. For us, once we have decided to get married, it means that we're now ready to shift our focus to building a home and starting our own family. In short, we should be ready to settle down. With our current financial status, we are able to live comfortably but we know that it won't be enough to raise children given our current economic situation. We are not gonna be selfish and we will ensure our future child's happiness. That's why right now, we are working very hard to be financially ready for marriage.
