If it's important to you, and your family can't help out, and you don't have the cash on hand but will in the future, why not take out the loan? I don't see how

If it's important to you, and your family can't help out, and you don't have the cash on hand but will in the future, why not take out the loan? I don't see how this is different from financing a luxury car.
- neogodless 7y agoYou have a lot of stipulations in your question, and I think those exact things should be closely examined when the decision is made. And it should be a decision (not an assumption.) Do I value having a huge, extravagant party for one day over starting out my marriage on a solid financial foundation, or other expensive items like childcare and housing? Will I have the cash in the future? Will my earnings dwarf this expense and the additional interest I accrue while I work hard to pay it off? Did I figure out for myself that this one-day event is "truly important to me" or do I just think it's something everyone does, and I have to do as well? Why is it important to me?
