Getting married and having children is expensive. If you have the money to do those things, you are more likely to be someone who can also afford a home sooner than others. It's not a matter of widespread personal preference, that's ridiculous.

- jmathai 2y agoHonestly, this sounds like the sound bites I’ve seen on social media. Getting married is definitely not expensive. In Ohio it costs $30-$70. And you can have an affordable reception. If you’re talking about a reception you can’t afford - sure. But that’s your own decision. And if that’s your reason to not get married then that I can see how that line of thinking extends to “I can’t afford to buy a house”. I have 4 kids. They aren’t free but they are totally affordable. I’m really not sure what you are saying - the vast majority of 35+ year olds DO have kids and afford it.
