Yesterday we spent the day looking at engagement rings. Can you say EXPENSIVE?! geesh... but they were gorgeous! I found 3 I loved and Cody found his guy ring. But after a day of "almost" newlyweds, it makes me realize were not even close to ready to be getting married. Its exciting, don't get me wrong, but no matter how much I would love to be engaged and get married right now i know we better still wait.
For one Financial stability. were not quite there yet. He needs a better job and I need to be full time.
Second,He needs to grow up a little and sell his 72 Chev that's going to take WAY too much money to fix up how he wants it. If tha'ts me being selfish, or me being logical, call it what you want.
We have talked about it and he actually agrees with me on selling that beast. and he even said that he should wait until we have more money so that he can do what he wants to it without stressing out about how much is in the bank.
And lastly, While out and about looking at rings we made a couple stops and home stores and made a list with prices of things we would need for a home. I guess that's why people wait till after the wedding to live alone. thank goodness for gift registries.
I have a question to whomever comes upon this blog and actually reads it. What do you think about couples moving in before marriage, whether its with roommates or all alone in an apartment?
That's one thing that we cant figure out if we want to do or not. We have a friend who is in an apartment with his girlfriend and they want us to move in with them, I think it would be an interesting experience living with other people, but an other couple?? yikes. Rents isn't all that expensive only 375 for me and Cody but i just don't know if we should wait till we get married to live together, to save up on money? or to hell with it and just move in and see how it goes. So please, if you come along this blog and have an input just leave a comment, ask questions. I would love to see what people have to say, or ask.
I think you should wait to get married or at least until you can move in to an apartment just the two of you. Not only would it save you money, but I heard its hard to get used to living with your boyfriend/ husband and you would have to get used to living with him as well as two other people! Hope this helped ;)
ReplyDeleteI think most couples get married when they are broke. Think of it this way, you start with nothing and grow together. And really, if you're wanting to live together anyway, why not get married now? Expenses are similar for living together whether you're married or not, but if you're married you get better tax breaks.
