Nowadays kids that are 18 are pledging marriage not realizing what a huge burden and undertaking it is. The one thing I'm good at is money (and women) and I would hate to see my kid someday not be able to live up to his potential because me and my wife couldn't afford to do something for him because we married before we were financially mature enough to handle a family (sports, extra curricular lessons like painting or karate, or camp, etc). The average middle class child costs about 400,000 dollars to raise and I don't think that figure even factors in education, which is easily another 40k - 100k for a respectable school.
The "I LOVE YOU!" lets get married approach is foolish. People my age fall in and out of love with one another like wildfire. Getting married at the drop of a hat is probably a leading contributer to the astronomically high divorce rate.
I have a lot of money for someone my age. A ridiculous amount of money and I plan on living in investment properties for 6 years to bolster my credit and equity. Living in a house in a hot market for 2 years and selling is the easiest money you'll ever make. I wouldn't be able to do that with kids. A wife might put up with it because cash is like womens viagra, but kids dont like that shit.
That must be some school for $100M.Quote:

One of my exes said "If you can spend $20,000 on a car you can spend that on a ring too. It's for the love of your wife after all"Quote:

I like how he acts as if you don't have control over what type of person you marry, or that every women falls into his biased description. If you really made the mistake of marrying someone who wanted to control your money, deprive you of sex, or sit around the house without a job, then just tell her to get the fuck out.
If you don't want to get married then don't get married, but it's unfair for this guy to assume everyones doomed for divorce just because his marriage got screwed up.
You are 18 years old.
