Life is mostly random, so don't get too attached to your plans. Nothing works out the way you think it will, but it generally does work out somehow.
Unless you're really into the whole old-fashioned white picket fence kind of life, marriage is probably a bad idea.
Max out your 401k. Don't worry too much about an ordinary savings account.
- dhnsmakala 8y agoYeah, in my early 20s and the loss of freedom + increase in responsibility that comes with marriage makes it a real head scratcher.
- mrhappyunhappy 8y agoYou can always have extramarital kids right?
- AnimalMuppet 8y agoWhen you find someone you want more than you want your freedom, then it will make perfect sense.
- marssaxman 8y agoWhen you have been through a difficult divorce, then declining to get the law involved in any future romantic affairs will make perfect sense.
- elamje 8y agoOops, I got married last May :'-( RIP to elamje. I totally understand your take, and I think we would have been fine doing long term dating.
- kungtotte 8y agoI don't know what the legal situation is like for you where you live, but in my country it's definitely a benefit to get married if you plan on co-owning property or having kids. You could go to a lawyer and draft contracts and agreements over how things should be divided etc. in the event of divorce or death, or you could get married and literally everything is already covered by existing laws and you don't have to worry about missing a loophole.
