My boyfriend and I have been together for almost 3 years. We both know that we want to be together and have children. We both still live with our parents, and we both have full-time jobs. We're in our mid-twenties.
I think we're ready to move on to the next level. He says no because we don't have the money. We both make a decent living. Approx. 70K (combined) before taxes, if not more. Neither one of us has any real savings, but pay all of our bills with ease. I know that if we sat down to actually make a budget, we would be able to figure out how we could easily save up for a down payment on a hosue and a wedding. We just have to stop our frivolous spending.
He doesn't seem to even want to get engaged before we have the savings and he thinks that we have enough money. I don't see what it has to do with getting engaged.
Aren't most people struggling with money when they first get married?
