Yeah, that's the current culture here in America. I have a sister getting married Sept. 18th as a matter of fact. I had a nice talk with my soon-to-be brother-in-law, even though my parents are paying for most of the wedding. I tried to explain how financially backwards the system is, yet everyone goes along with it. The wedding industry is huge and sees its clients coming. I explained that they are currently "dinks" a marketing term which stands for dual-income-no-kids, meaning they have decent discretionary income now. But this guy wants kids soon, and my sister wants him to buy her a new SUV, and I'm trying to show them it's a great time to look at buying a house, and the financial picture over 20 years as opposed to just looking at nice-to-have things today.
