Hi Forum members, Seeing the high rate of cost of living in our country today, please I want to ask how has this bad or better still tough economic situations affected your family and marriage?

For those already in it, has it cause chaos/disorder between you and your partners?
And those that entered it not long, does this current situations make you lament taking such decision.

For the bachelors/spinsters, are you grateful been single this moment?

Share your experiences?

Of course and I think it is clear that a bad economic situation especially the increase in food prices or all basic necessities in a country caused by inflation for example will really affect your household situation, but it will only be felt by people who do have a less good financial situation such as having a small income, because it is clear that when you have a small income then the increase in the price of basic necessities will really be a big problem that can trigger many problems in family relationships.

And not infrequently I also see couples who end up separating or divorcing due to the economic problems they face, I think the only way is to create a new income, or I mean do anything that can increase your income such as doing something else when you have free time such as taking a side job.
On the other hand I will say that the bad economic situation in a country cannot be used as something that makes you decide to postpone getting married for a longer time, because after all it is an economic cycle that can happen at any time or even repeatedly, or I mean it cannot be avoided completely.

Economic conditions becomes even more shit as the years passing by and this is why you should already anticipate that when it comes to commodity and service or goods prices will really be soaring up high
on year by year and this is something inevitable. This is why it would really be that important that you should really be making up those preparations before you would really be able to enter marriage specially if you are a man or husband to be then of course it would really be just that understandable that you are the ones who would really be raising up your family and you would really be needing up that stable income
or source of money that you would be able to support into your family, if not or else it would really be making up that kind of argumentation on you with your wife about budgeting and other priorities.

It would really be causing up that chaos which might lead to divorce on the time that you cant be able to provide those needs. This is why preparation is a must or something that relevant.
To those who are just single then there would really be two only possible reasons on which it would really be that they arent that still interested in marriage and want to make out most of their
single life or they are really just that preparing and making up some savings to have that fund when it comes to marriage life and dont want into those potential problems?
You would really be able to compare into those people who are really that financially prepared into those who aren't.

Anyone that has family now or is married will definitely have a tough time being sincere because everything is getting expensive, and it might be that the rate of his income as a person with a household is still the same when things are not this expensive, so we all know that it will not be easy for him. Based on my perception, anyone with a household in this season will have to compromise and manage his available resources to sustain his family.
 
Because not even for food but shelter, health care, clothes, and other emergencies, it will definitely not be easy for everyone in such a situation. That is why I always respect people with family because they are really trying to be sincere.
 
So what I will just say to them is to encourage them, and they should do their best in the way that they will try to provide for their families and save their marriage because even the bachelors are not enjoying it.

On the time that you would really be entering marriage life then this is the moment that you would really be that totally changed since you are really that needing to have that kind of responsibility on just we do all know that raising up your own will really be that tough and a real challenge. I do agree with those words above that you will really be considering those things above or making it on priority.

Basic necessities and including wants will really be something that you do need to provide. Not all being born to be a having that silver spoon on which they will really be diretly be able to skip out that hardship
since they do have those inheritances that makes them sustainable on which on the time that they do enter marriage then there would really be no problem when it comes to finances.

For those who are starting at the bottom or via means on saving up money then it would really be a tough journet but something that it is really that worth considering on being together with the love of your life.
You would really be doing all the things that comes up into your mind and would really be  thriving on providing all the needs of your family or once you do have your own children.
Challenges are normal and its a part of life. Just like on what others saying above that coming prepared would be the key.

Our country is very affected by this change of expensive life compared to few years ago, and personally I'm not single nor married, lived few months now with my partner and felt the consciousness of expensive life, compared to what I lived beside my parents.
Both of us are working and spending for our daily spendings, food and other stuff, we both found difficulties to put money on savings. My partners is working in a stable job while I'm only working online ans still a student.

In short words, life has changed a lot since everything is expensive and most products went 2x or 3x in price if you could remember the prices 10 years ago.

So it doesn't really matter if you are married or single, in both situations you will feel that changed from a normal life to a very difficult, especially living in a 3rd world country.

This economy has made daily life quite challenging.  My partner and I strain to pay the high rents and grocery costs, while filling our gas tank often empties our wallets.  We are persevering as best we can, though the constant financial stress strains our moods and relationship and  its tough to enjoy life or plan for the future when we're barely scraping by each month.  Many folks are surely struggling in similar ways now.  I try to remain hopeful that things will get better in time.

There is a panic especially for a man because in the end marriage is a sacred commitment which when we are ready to marry the partner we have, it is clear that the responsibilities will also be greater, including making sure that our partner's life is not miserable while married to us so there is a separate thought where finances will definitely be a consideration for marriage.

But what I feel for now is that sometimes marriage can make our thinking more open, including in financial matters because our ego is a little restrained when we are in a marriage attachment. Before I got married sometimes the income I had for one month ran out without a remainder and without any clarity on what to use it for but when I got married, with an income that was actually not too much different but I actually became more stable and better able to manage my finances of course this is also thanks to the help of my partner so that panic and financial stigma must be stable before marriage sometimes for some cases actually does not apply (at least for me personally).

First, for those who are married, they will have difficulty meeting their living needs, maybe they can only meet their needs but not their desires. Furthermore, for those who are not married, it will be very difficult to start, especially if they do not have a permanent job that generates a regular income every month. Luckily for some people who have stable finances, so that difficult economic conditions like today do not reduce the quality of life. Everyone must be very wise in spending their money, especially if we have the responsibility as head of the family.

In the long term, economic difficulties will have a very fatal impact, because it has the potential to increase the divorce rate, as well as the lack of parental responsibility towards children. I think everyone must continue to learn new skills to be able to increase their income, so that they can improve the welfare of their families. Never pin any hopes on the Government or other people, that cannot be a solution. It is important to be open to your partner in any matter, because with this attitude good communication can be established.

The most obvious effect of the modern economy on marriage and the family is a 1 wage household can no longer raise a family.  The mother must both raise children and hold a job to double the wages ideally, this can rarely work as looking after children is a full time job of course.  Its a big difference to decades ago and reflects alot of accumulated inflation and losses to value that traditionally families had prior.

If you ever wondered how a favorite candidate in an election is losing while popular in other respects, this ongoing problem will be the main motivation for rebellion in the voting population.

so many people decided to hold off marriage or don't marry altogether, there are many millennials struggling to make ends meet despite being single speaks a lot about current condition.

although from chart above divorce rate is declining but it can be due to less people getting married, idk for sure but it seems so many people are more concerned about fixing their economy than getting into relationship.
regardless current economy is not that bad, I mean it's bad for people that spends their money so recklessly but for people who actually care about their financial condition and keep investing, it's not at the level where i can say it's bad though, but it's just my opinion.

Many decades ago, the setup here in my country is that the husband will work and make money while the wife takes care of the kids at home. I'm not saying everybody's happy with this setup, but today, whether the wife prefers to stay at home to make sure the kids are properly taken care of or she prefers to build a career herself isn't the point. Life is so hard that both will have to make money on their own to support the family. Often, they even need to add a side hustle in addition to their main jobs.

The result is a family that isn't spending quality time with each other, missing invaluable moments together. I grew up in a family that is quarrelsome, and I believe it's mainly financial difficulties that made it so.

Anyway, a bachelor might not have family problems but I guess it's probably sweeter to suffer for the right people.

Right now many people are suffered financial difficulty, it force both partners to work in order to pay bills. The men work for 2-3 jobs and the women work in onlyfans because it's an easy job to sell nude picture and make video while taking care of her child.

People nowadays work for money and don't care anymore with morals, religions etc because getting job is harder and the wage is low.

I really believe it would depend on the kind of relationship you guys have. It's inevitable to fight over some things all throughout the relationship but having a mature and transparent relationship will avoid more complications.

Most of the time, the issue comes up when the lack of money gets in the way of people's moods. It's easier to be stressed and annoyed when you are thinking of all the bills to pay and the inadequate amount of money to pay all of that. This anger sometimes is turned towards the partner and get into a fight. But remember that you just need to talk about things and it will all get better.

That there's a bad economy with a rising inflation doesn't stop anyone from getting married if the interest is there. It doesn't have to come at the cost of some showiness or flamboyance of the occasion before it could be said to be a marriage. In just a modest way it could be done to save cost.

The problem with people nowadays is that they want to impress the crowd, spending all their savings on a one day event just to go back home financially broke newly wedded fools. If we can find ourselves a great understanding and supportive partner we would understand that there's nothing to be grateful about being single.

With the change of time, the economic condition is getting worse in most of the countries around the world. As a result of which the price inflation is increasing in those countries even the price of food products including daily necessities of those countries is doubling. It is true that the prices of consumer goods are increasing but the way for people to earn money is not widening. Those who are married and have taken up family responsibilities are most uncomfortable right now as the cost of living has become expensive due to the rise in prices of everything.

OP if the economic situation is bad it will affect every family it is normal.  Moreover, nowadays no parents want to marry their daughters to poor and unemployed sons. In our country many boys are getting divorced due to poor economic condition.

It is well known that finance is one of the reasons for marital crises. This is why each time the breadwinner loses a job, becomes incapacitated, or experiences business failure, it sometimes leads to divorce or separation. When a woman begins to lack the basic needs in the home, it might force her to start looking for alternatives, which might lead to disrespect, disagreement, and even infidelity.

The above-mentioned people will be happy they are still single because watching your spouse or children suffer because of financial problems is very painful. But with adequate planning, singles could still get married. I have also observed that people don't organize elaborate weddings anymore and they limit the number of children they bear. With these and other measures, people still manage to get married. While others avoid marriage like the plague until their financial status improves.

It can be felt that the economy is now getting more difficult and for necessities such as goods, food the most important thing is that the price is getting more expensive, with increasing inflation, it will especially affect those who are married because I think the material needs of all family members, need to be in economic functions such as saving on expenses and it needs to be depending on the income earned and spending as efficiently as possible by prioritizing urgent needs, as well as those who are not married. they need to stabilize the economic factor first, that is the most important thing to do now.

For the contrary what happens in our economy if people stop getting marriage. In most markets very little would change, ceremonies would differ, but we still need photographers and all. I believe it would have impact on 4 industries: The jeweler, wedding dress seller, florist, wedding companies and legal teams, the ripple effects could be more profound and widespread. Example of this is housing market, as fewer couples might demand a couple size homes instead of family-sized, that can affect real estate values.

So, I think the entire society already been affected by this bad economy not only just marriage and family. It is worst right now particularly at lower-income communities of our society because those are the people who are most vulnerable. These side of population relies on social services which are currently overwhelmed. A decline in marriage might worsen social instability leading to more taxes and less autonomy for individuals across all socioeconomic levels, as more public funds are going to increasing vulnerable populations.

Well the thing about marriage is that it is not just two people (man and woman) living with each other, using each other. It is a a "shared" life, a life they are supposed to build together and have to handle all problems. As they say in the west "in sickness and in health".

So any problems including economic problems, should not affect the marriage. Instead it should be just another challenge and the couple faces together. Something the individuals (bachelors) lack and they should have harsher days facing their problems alone.

Disputes over money and infidelity are the main causes of divorce. As we are talking about finances here, preparing ahead for crises by trying to have several sources of income, savings and investments helps a lot to cope with them. But above all, it is essential to talk about it with your partner and make decisions together. If everyone goes their own way it is easy for things to go wrong.

That is possible will affected to our family and marriage but if we can discuss with our couple how to solve that problem, we can get a way out from the problem. High rate of cost of living in every country will be different but will gives the same problem to each family. But we still have a chance to solve our problem with our family and we need to tighten our finance and use it more properly so we will solve the problem.

We don't have to regret from taking the decision but we can fix that if we think we made a mistake before. With an effort to fix the problem and find a way out, we must believe that we can get a better solution. We don't have to give up with the situation because every hard situation still gives another way to solve the problem.

For bachelors/spinsters, they can still prepare their future when they marriage soon. They can manage their finance by saving and invests in something such as Bitcoin to prepare their future. We must search for the right thing that we can do to solve our economic problem in our family.

They often say that marriage is "for better for worse" and " for richer for poorer" so in that case no matter what the situation they find themselves they should stand by each other and overcome it, they should sacrifice everything for each other, that is the true definition of marriage, they should not let any intermediary or any third party come between them, not even economic problem.


Disputes over money really happened in marriage most especially between couples who married each other because of what they have, they are after worldly materials, money, and power, and it causes infidelity between couples, they will be unfaithful to each other and also lack trust in their marriage, after they married each other the economy was still stable then, and their life was balance, in current situation now that inflation is affecting our economy, and they can no more see what they are in the marriage for, they decided to get divorce, someone that marry you because of whom you are not because of what you have, will always stay by your side no matter what. getting divorce is not the solution, it will worst the situation, it is better they be together and overcome the difficulties, a lot of countries are facing a lot of challenges because of inflation.

Where do you live? The cost of living is pretty decent where I live. It's not too high, but it's not dirt cheap as well, so I'm not complaining.
I'm single and I don't have kids. To be honest, I'm grateful that I don't have kids, because having kids is expensive as hell(and I can't stand children in general). Not having a girlfriend kinda sucks, but I wouldn't blame my financial situation for this. Money isn't everything in life.
Putting all the blame on the overall economic situation in your country for your poverty seems stupid to me. Maybe you should blame yourself for not having valuable skills, which are in demand on the labor market.

If the economic condition of a country is very bad, it is not possible to manage many important work especially lifestyle in those countries. If we consider my Bangladesh, it must be very clear that due to the constant increase in the prices of goods in our country, the unemployed youth are afraid to get married because the youth are very worried about how to get a new wife and feed them after marriage. Moreover, the number of unmarried youths will increase to a large extent after 10 years from now due to the constant increase in unemployment in my country.

AFAIK, most of my neighbors who are already in marriage with kids are not finding it easy in this harsh economy. Although they are still managing to feed their family but they are complaining that the rate at which things are so expensive now makes them not to enjoy as much as they did before, and most of the of the time they find it so difficult to even pay the kids school  fees. There's this man I know; before, he had a well-paying job, and his children were attending a very expensive school, but after the man lost that job that was paying well, he got another less-paying job, which forced him to change the school his children were attending. He had to send the kids to a less expensive school. People are not finding it funny now, mate.I am not yet married, but I can tell that it's not easy, and even if I get married now and start having kids, it's going to double my expenses. 

It’s highly depends on your income and expenses. Me and my wife only have 1 baby while we both earn on our job and business. Our expenses is very minimal since we don’t have enough time to spend money because we are both busy in daily life.

We are not that much affected with bad economy since our earnings overpower our expenses in great margin. I think you shouldn’t worry that much if you can get an established job with decent salary to start a family. I think your only problem is when your expenses is too big for your salary regardless of the economic state.

Not yet married, but I have lots of married people as friends and I have seen periods with them where they experience financial difficulty, and it affected their marriage. Some complained of how their partner stop respecting them.

If it is a good marriage between individuals who actually understand themselves, they will find a way to survive by pulling together their strengths.

Some bachelors are not married and, at the same time, are not single. These people who are in this situation are facing the same thing as some married couples are facing. The people who have some peace of mind are those who are single with no responsibility to any partner.

Honestly speaking if I wasn't married before now I wouldn't have ventured into it at least not in this bad economy. The harsh economy is literally affecting everything in my marriage. Ranging from my relationship with my wife and my external families. I had to cut down on some of the charities I usually do to people around. I have two cars which one belong to my wife. But due to the harsh economy I decided to park my car because fueling both cars was becoming difficult. At the moment it's only my wife that drives, that because she usually take the kids to school and bring them back. I join public transportation when going to work these days, I had to cut down many things just to keep things going as my local currency don't have value anymore. I changed my children school because the former was becoming too expensive and I couldn't sustain it anymore, I talked to my wife about it and she understood the situation we are into. The economy is biting harder everyday and there seems to be no solution to it anytime soon.

Communication is the most important factor in a household and both must be able to understand and comprehend each other about the situations they may face. Now they may be in a very good condition, but no one knows when someone will experience bad luck so that they have to feel economic difficulties. Well, this is where a person's maturity will be tested, because everyone must be ready to live in a situation where at least their economy is good, but not everyone is ready to face a worsening economic situation. But is it just about the economy? I don't think so. There are many out there who are very luxurious and can even have affairs, that means there are other factors. It could be because of the human being or there are things that are not well connected.

I think there is a general trend but it has been happening for at least a couple decades and is not confined to the current economic state. People are being continuously squeezed and can barely look after themselves financially speaking, so they are opting to put off having kids until later. It seems the more educated people are, the less likely they are to have children because it can affect women's careers especially - taking them out of the workforce for 3-5 years at a minimum sometimes. It's understandable if women do not want to financially stunt themselves like that, especially when they have all the regular bills to pay in that time and it often works out cheaper to stay home claiming government benefits instead.

You are right. There are a lot of changes when prices of goods and services unstoppably increased. It seems you are only working to feed your daily needs and survive, unlike before where you can still make good earnings even if you are working with a minimal compensation. Most especially if you have kids to feed and raised as well, everything will be like a roller coaster.

However, if both of you own a stable job and are highly compensated, maybe you will not feel the high inflation. But still, financial management is a must, otherwise you might still mess with your finances and if continuously done, both of you will end up homeless.

It definitely affected marriage and even child-raising. If back then our parents are okay with raising two to three kids at a time, even with their measly minimum-wage salaries, our top-earners today aren't even considering raising a kid at all, opting for pets or taking care of their nephews and nieces instead.

For one, a lot of people are more aware now of the dangers and stresses that a woman must go through during pregnancy, all the things she must suffer for the sake of raising a kid that would end up being a massive menace to society isn't worth it, especially since everything's going down the drain and sometimes the kindest thing a parent could do to their kids is to not bear them at all.

Another is the fact that it's just so expensive to do shit these days, marriages are expensive, and so are the things that marriages entail. So couples either settle with being co-habiting partners, or they end up saving more and waiting for extended periods of time which they see as trial stage for when they get married.

This is the hardest time for those who are married and I can tell you for free that men are not the way they used to be in their homes, some hardly come back to their family because of the condition they left it, some prefer staying outside after work than going back. If as a man you don't have an understanding wife then you're in for serious trouble, your salary won't sustain you and your family for the middle part of the month, school fees not yet included not to talk of other bills, with all these things you wish to be single for the rest of your life, sometimes you complain but no one is listening.
To be sincere with you guys, having a family in this period is not healthy I must say and where it gets worse is having more than 3 children, the only option is sending them out to stay with relations, nobody wants to find himself in this kind of situation.

Currently, the economic situation in different countries of the world has worsened. In the country where I live, the economic situation is very bad, day by day the prices of goods have increased due to inflation. Due to which it has become difficult to live with the family. In fact, a man's responsibility increases when he gets married. I am also a married man, I am also unable to get a good job at present due to which my wife does not love me and family members cannot see me. Sometimes I think I made a mistake by getting married, it would have been better to be a bachelor. However, for those with higher incomes, this poor economy is not affecting their family and marital life. Ordinary jobbers and day laborers have found it difficult to run a family in this bad economy. Currently in our country single people feel happier than married people, because they don't have the pressure of wife and family.

At this phase we are in currently in Nigeria it's a bad idea to think about having kids if you are not financially stable, that might be the worst mistake anyone can ever make..The prices of everything keeps increasing on a daily basis, people can't even afford the basic amenities they used to buy without stress... being single right now is what's best for me right now cause I'm earning money but I'm barely surviving due to the crazy inflation, adding someone else is going to be very stressful, then when a kid comes in it's only going to get worse..we are hoping that Nigeria would get better

My marriage is fine despite the situation of the economy isn't favorable. And with the markets going down now, everything is in turmoil. But how many times have we been in this situation? I guess countless times and like what we say about everything going up, it must come down and repeat. So, I am hopeful that after this huge drop that we're having or a recession is opening or actually happening, more money will be printed and everytime that happens, we're just having some band aid solutions together with the fed cutting rates. The effect of this bad economy personally to me is quite hard and that's because I am the only one who keeps on track with these matters in my family.

Marriage is not something that is "affected" by money directly, it is affected by the people who are married. There are people who live a normal happy life, get poor and divorce, there are people who live a normal life and get rich and divorce anyway. There are also people who live a normal life and get poor and stick together even at the worst times, and there are people who get super rich and they stick together during wealthy time and live very happy lives too.

So as you can see every option is possible, just because your economy changes doesn't mean that your marriage has to change, that is based on who you are as a person and not based on your love life. In the end, if you marry the wrong person, you may divorce even if your economy doesn't change at all. I lived incredibly poor and not even know where the next food will come type of poverty with my life, I lived "which colour should our new car be" type of rich life with her too, and all through that we were together.

You are not far from the truth. Marriage should be based on love and when you love someone, you should be able to work together to overcome difficult situations. The husband and wife should come together and seek other means of cutting costs or getting additional means of income.

In my country, cultural and religious factors are affecting the ability of young people to get married. Intending bridegrooms will have to raise some amount to enable them to pay the bride price and also arrange for marriage rites. In this current economic situation where it is difficult to survive on minimum wage, most of these bachelors might not be able to save enough to marry.

The current economic situation becomes a challenge for married couples, most especially for those who have kids to support and provide their basic needs. Without having a stable source of income, the couple will definitely struggle to raise their family just to survive from daily life. But for those who live solely on their own and makes a great earning, this economic situation will never be an issue to them.

The struggles of this economy will affect the situation of a family, but I don't think it will affect a marriage in the manner that you think, because marriage is all about love and care, being there for each other in both good and bad times, so I don't think it will cause a mess between husband and wife, unless the men and women didn't love each other before they married. Marriage isn't meant for the male to be the only owner of responsibilities or to go through different stages of life. However, the economic conditions will only create problems in the marriage if they do not love each other or the partner does not support her husband during difficult times.

In addition, in my country, not all families can eat three square meals in a day, everything has been turned down, many barely eat, and food prices have increased by more than twice. And I don't think being a bachelor is something to be grateful for; just make sure you make money and marry someone who actually loves you and will be there for you through tough times.

Generally on which it would really be talking about love and care but lets just accept the fact that money will really be that relevant or something that will really be always part of life.
You cant really just that raise your family with just love and care because we do like it or not, we would really needing money for us to provide their needs on which this one is really just that a normal approach that you would really be doing. Bad economic condition is really just that normal yet it do becomes shit as the years passing on which its really just that right that you should really be
finding  yourself having other source of income or some jobs on which you would really be able to earn more, if not then i dont see that it would really be totally giving out that good peaceful life that you do wanted. On the moment that you cant be able to provide those necessities or priorities when you do have a family then dont get shocked that one day that your wife would really be that leaving
you and would really be finding on someone that could really be able to take up such responsibility.

That's how a real marriage works, you both see that market has ups and downs, and that's how you improve. Like I work all day and my wife and I spend very little time because I need to make some money and my wife is fine about it, she never said anything. In a month I will be out of debt, well almost all my debt, and she is happy that I will be able to do that, so if you have a real marriage, you face ups and downs together and not just ups.

If a spouse is with you, just for the up days and not happy with you on down days, then that's not a good spouse at all. This of course is depending on how the downs happened, like if you gambled all your money away on horse racing or whatever, then yeah of course spouse will hate you, that's very normal, but if you had a business and business went down, if they lived the good days of that business with you, then they will live the bad days with you as well.

That's why it's important to pick the right person, you may feel madly in love with a person, enough to marry them, but if you are going to have a bad life with them then I do not think that it makes sense to marry them, no matter how much you love them, because it is not worth being unhappy for all your life.

The cycle will always be like this, the economic conditions that are getting worse from year to year due to the inability to fight inflation make everyone have to prepare something that can provide a little space when the situation is tight. Weddings require a lot of money, you can't hold a reception without sufficient financial preparation. I live in a simple family, economic limitations mean I have to look for work to finance all my personal and family needs. Before stepping into marriage, I had prepared everything needed so that I would not experience any difficulties when the wedding ceremony was held.

The chaos that occurs due to the increasingly depressed economic situation can be overcome with a plan and starting slowly, you can set aside the money you earn from online or offline work as early preparation. Do it consistently every time you have some money, if you feel that saving money in a bank or other savings is not safe and cannot withstand inflation, investing in Bitcoin will be better for you.

Preparing everything before marriage is indeed a step to avoid bad things in marriage but I don't think so because I believe that every hard work will get something worth it and if a man is married then his responsibility will be greater so that he has much greater motivation to be able to earn a lot of money.

And I think we don't need to worry too much and don't need to associate all the many economic problems in a marriage, I think it doesn't have too much impact because believe me everyone has their own fortune so that for a man it will not be difficult to be able to meet the needs of his family after marriage, there will be a way if someone wants to try.

Having a married life or being single is a matter of choice. There are others who are single but are constantly in relationships without commitment, because there are others whose motive is only sex or no strings attached.

And as for married life, it is never an easy chapter of life that can easily be lost because we are talking about building a family here, especially if you have a child to support.
The bad things only is that a lot of the poor people delivered a new born baby without a family planning. So, the average of hardship continue to increase in the society. 

Due to the way things are going now, I think some bachelors will prefer staying single than being in a relationship because being in a relationship is like adding another problem to your life, it is not bad to be in a relationship but being in some relationship where your partner depends on you it’s not good, there is some relationship where the two partners understand each other and they can sacrifice for each other and they will know when one is not having a good time, for my understanding is in a relationship is not a bad thing but it depends on the person you are in a relationship with.

The reason why I stated that some bachelors will prefer a single life is that some don’t have a good work to feed themselves and when someone can feed themselves properly you can’t be expecting to be in a relationship unless he has a partner that doesn’t depend on him and it’s very difficult to find a girl that doesn’t depend on a guy, as for a marriage people I think that one is understandable because as a marriage person, you have to provide for your family, although the situation of this economy now is not sounding good you have to try and when you have a good wife she will know that this time things are not going well for everyone.

On the moment that you would really be finding yourself into marriage then there would really be things that you will really be needing up to sacrifice into those things that you are really that still single.
If you would really be having plans on making yourself deal up with marriage then making yourself at least getting prepared in terms of financial is a must. You are gonna make a family on which you would really be
needing for you to sustain and provide their needs no matter what as a husband or a father. Bad economic effects would really be that affecting not only on family but also in other things as well
on which on the time or moment that you would really be finding yourself having that lacking or not sufficient amount of income then you would really be having that hard or struggling on way of living.

It wont really be affecting your marriage if you would really be getting prepared not only on the day of wedding but of course after that wedding then everything should really be that according to plan
on which it would really be needing up that preparation on which its really that a normal to have. If you come unprepared then you do already know on whats next.

Of course, preparations must be made well in advance if you have big plans for something that requires a lot of money. You may be lucky to have a job that allows you to set aside a budget, which is not the case for others. Economic conditions are getting worse day by day, making people have to work harder and force themselves to save money. Fiats are really losing value, which is obviously bad because someone really needs more money because all items are becoming expensive.

Previously I could save 50% of my total income every month, but in 2023 and 2024, almost 70% of it will be for living expenses. Increasing needs clearly mean we have to spend more, so the financial impact is felt. Be smart about managing cash flow, that is the right advice during this inflation.

I'm not married so this "economic downturn" has not affected my person life, but it certain has an effect on my career (to an extent).  I don't really see it creating that much division within my clients own personal lives/marriage.  For the most part my clients are just concerned about each others financial wellness overall, but a small downturn is not something I see creating any sort of division.  Here in the United States the economy really hasn't been bad.  The economy is also something very different than the stock market, which has taken a beating a bit of late, but even that doesn't really seem to have much affect on people..at least form my perspective.

Marriage isn't about reaches but a time to leave happily and a memory to remembered. I can recall when I don stay with my parent, we were financially average and life wasn't hard but as they say, not all the time it's full of roses, there are times it used to be soft and there are times it used to be hard but in the end, we live peacefully and they hardly share us there financial status, that's what I believe marriage is about and not the way it's all about money and money today.

The economy hardship is global and it touch everyone, people who understand marriage deeply wouldn't even want to share you there home set backs but they we will eventually survived but you see houses and marriage that are transactional, many has collapsed because they value material before marital lifestyle.

I'm still single though and I wish I have married, the money I spend as a single life can take care of family and I'm okay where I'm for now. One day, I will marry because I'm not sure if it's finance that is making me not married yet.

I'm still yet to get married, but I have friends who are married, and seriously, it is not easy. Things are getting expensive every day; the price of every single thing is too much, and many people find it difficult to cope with their family. However, the issue of maybe they will have problems with their family or partners, I think they were not supposed to have problem because everybody knows how the economy is operating is not easy for everybody out there, so as an understanding wife, I think this should be a big deal between you and your wife.

Also, marriage is not all about money. Every time happiness should be the first thing, many of us here came from poor families, and their family is leaving happily without any too much financial crisis. Furthermore, many people, including me, don't even know how our parents get food for us; all we know is that we come back and we eat food, so the thing is happiness first. 

Well if you ask me, I will say it depends on the couples and how they can be able to manage themselves in any condition. First of all if the man has a well paying steady job or a business that provides income on a regular basis, then the economic situation will not affect that much. And secondly if the wife is supportive and she's good at financial management, then the economic situation will not affect. But where the economic situation will cramp down on a family is when the wife lacks management and she's lazy and the man doesn't have to to carter for the family.

Like I said when there is understanding between both partners, there will be no much problem. they will just adjust to the new way of living. Although economic problem may affect a little bit but will not be noticed.

They will not be single forever, And whoever that looks at economic situation may never be able to get married because economic and financial problem has always been there . So it's better you get that.

It is undeniable that the high cost of living is one of the factors, especially in some areas where marriage costs a lot of money, so it is not surprising that currently many men and women are not married even though they are getting older.

In my area, most of the reasons people are reluctant to get married are, firstly because the cost of marriage is getting more expensive, especially the cost of the reception and dowry. Secondly, people prioritize their careers or jobs. Thirdly, because of the small salary, while the cost of living such as land and house prices are very expensive. Finally, the many cases of infidelity and failure in marriage make them worried and afraid of choosing the wrong partner.

I know a bachelor who is almost 60 years old. I asked him why he is not married yet? He replied, if you are not sure you can make your wife and children happy, it is better not to get married. That is his decision. He is an honest person, full of responsibility in his work, friendly, kind, and hardworking.

Let's be more realistic, even people that have a high paying jobs, the economic situation now is affecting everyone both the rich and poor because as the price of things are skyrocketing every day that is how the cost of living is becoming so expensive. Talking about having a woman with good economic management, how many women are ready to manage with their husbands in this economic situation except for those who have been married for long and have kids but it's not the same for newly married couples or intending couples because if a man doesn't earn enough money to take care of the family perfectly, there will always be a problem that is why the rate of divorces are on the increase since most women have come up with the mentality that a man should take care of them at all cost even while they're making their own money so it's really very difficult for married couples this period.

 Women are people that don't endure an unfavorable condition for long because even while she's cutting down expenses just to manage up things in the family it will get to a time when they become fed up about how everything is going and they will still want things to be the same as it was before the economic situation because different.

No doubt about that, of which I have said that the economic system is hard but though couples can amend. which means if they literarily spend a $100 on a food of 300kg before, and the economic situation makes such food to be bought at same $100 for 200kg they will still manage it and reduce their Level of consumption from 3 square meal to 2 that's just it.

I believe most women are ready and willing to manage except for those who are not ready to help their partner. And My reply is in response to op, which talks about how the economic system affects family and marriage and that is why my reply goes directly to couples Because it's more of Mariage than a new relationship.

First of all I agree that it's the man's responsibility to take care of the family, but that doesn't mean the woman should not be supportive atol. I believe before the woman accept the man , she knew the financial strength of the man and shouldn't act as if she wasn't aware about it. any woman that is not ready to be supportive is not yet ready for marriage and shouldn't be there at first place.

 

I have to agree that there’s more to marriage than money matters. However, there’s already a huge difference when there are children involved. Money does matter in everything. You need to have a consistent flow of income, despite of the current economic downturn, so you can raise your children well and give them a healthy lifestyle. And when we say healthy lifestyle, apart from money, love and discipline should also be given to them so they will grow well rounded individuals.

Don't want to offend, but people who are unmarried or still dependent on their parents will never understand the extremely important role of money. Especially for families with 1 or 2 children and having to take care of elderly parents. I guarantee that without money, no family will be happy because all daily needs require money. If we don't have money to meet our essential needs, no one will be happy, and there will even be conflicts because the pressure is making both very stressed.

Before getting married, couples fall in love because of love, they swear that they are willing to be together even if they have no money and think that they can live with that thought forever. But when they get married and have children, they realize how important money is even in their relationship.

The truth is that the economy have been so harsh to families because of how things have been so expensive. The only option with people with family in this hard economy is to learn to have the habit to reduce cost in everything that involves money and for partners to be supportive, doing this it will be easy for families to survive the economy hardship.  For those who want to go into marriage too in this hard economy it should be a decision that the both partners needs to look into very well and make good plans on how to manage their lives to cut cost of living and supporting one another to meet up.

Hardship can't stop people from getting families or abandon their family because this is part of life too but the most important thing this time is good planning. Partners should be able to think and plan very well to survive the economy.  Another things that needs to be considered for new couples and couples are still giving birth to children,  their is need for one to understand the need for birth control.  Couples should know the number of children to born that won't be burden to take care of. One of the sets of people that are been affected during economic hardship are those with larger family with very low income.

I see what you mean, but I think staying single isn't the smart choice for forever. A good relationship provides emotional support plus happiness and belongingness which are very essential in life for an individual. Sure, relationships can get messy, particularly when one partner depends on the other heavily, but benefits relationships are based on mutual understanding and working together.

Yes, the economy does make many people gun-shy about any sort of relationship, especially if they feel that they have not yet become fully self-reliant. But a partner who understands and supports you can make all of life's problems appear to be a cakewalk. In a good relationship, both partners help each other through difficult times instead of being the cause of additional worry.

So while there are many things to consider, I do not think that remaining single for the rest of our lives is a good idea, given the advantages that come tagged along in the form of a healthy and supportive relationship, in the long run.

I think it depends on a person's source of income and how they manage their finances. Someone, who either has more than one source of income or has one but earns them good money, wouldn't have a lot of problems. The only thing that might change with inflation is that they won't be able to save as much money as they could before because the cost of living becomes expensive with inflation which means if you had to spend $1,000 a month before, you would have to spend double or triple of that amount now.

This thing can cause a lot of problems for individuals with low incomes because it will make it extremely difficult for them to manage everything with it.


You won't always see families understanding this thing, they would demand and say that it's the responsibility of men to provide everything, so they should earn more. I don't disagree with this but I think sometimes things just don't work out, and a family, especially the spouse, should provide moral support in such situations instead of starting quarrels on small things.

With this current economic situation, it is not really easy for almost everyone. Whether you are a bachelor, spinster, or married man, almost everyone is finding it very hard to feed well with this bad economy. As for me, I am not married, but based on the things I have observed around me with those people that are married, honestly, it has caused some fights between husband and wife. As the cost of living goes higher every day, some husbands find it so hard to feed three times daily, and even that causes separation between some husbands and wives.


As I have not yet married, but I am married with this economy situation with my understanding wife that may not fully rely on me, I don't think the situation would be that rough for me. With the money I am spending now, even with a wife, I don't think there will be much difference. As a bachelor, I do always eat outside every day, which I know costs me a lot of money compared to cooking. So, with a wife, if we can cook by buying foodstuffs, it will not cost me as much as buying my daily meals outside.

Well, I am happily married... sure we could have more, but for now we are getting by just fine. Money (too much or lack of money) can cause problems in a relationship, especially if one has too many demands... and when children come most of the money, energy, and time goes to them. There are no parties and hanging out with friends for hours, less sex (many times it starts but stops because of some interruption), and so many things to do as a grown-up can kill the fun. Of course, it's not everything so bad... there are good and shiny moments, but sometimes the highlight of the day is a 30-minute peace in a dry bed, yes a good afternoon nap. If your significant half is willing to give you some time free.

The difficult economic situation affects everyone, but if someone is ready to fight there are no unsolvable problems... that is love, and when it is easy and difficult to be together with someone and solve all the problems that come up. And believe me, there are many different temptations, not only of a financial nature... in the end, love either conquers all that or two people separate. If it comes to that it's always better to be sooner than later.

There are marriages that are beyond financial discussions, and there are ones who have it right on the middle. Like mentioned, some marriages are so close to each other that when they have a financially problem THEY have a financial problem, they consider that as their problem and not his or hers, they do not put the blame on one side or the other, they consider that as something they have to face together, which is why that marriage works and when they end up with more money then THEY end up with more money, want to spoil each other. That is why if you want to have a strong relationship, pick someone who will face everything together. The bigger issue is health, because you will not be healthy forever, you will want someone who can help you when you are sick.

A bad economy will affect marriage, this is a fact. As you said, almost all divorces occur because of a difficult economy, even infidelity occurs because of economic problems. Indeed, in marriage, love and mutual understanding are the main things, but only a few people can be like this, the rest on average finances are number one to maintain the integrity of the household.

Likewise with those who are not married, both bachelors and spinsters, they are not married also because of economic problems that cause them not to be ready to get married until now. Because marriage is not only a matter of love, but marriage requires a lot of money in the future. Daily needs, when pregnant must have a check-up and when giving birth must also use money. Buy diapers, milk, baby porridge using money. Elementary, junior high, high school, and college children also use money. Not to mention paying for electricity, food, and others. With a small salary, of course this will hinder them from getting married.

In my local neighborhood, the husband does have to work very hard but it's not enough due to the rising high cost of goods.

And this means to say that, working alone with one job isn't enough and maybe 2 won't do as well. That's why a combined income is needed for a marriage to have no problem at all.

Or if just one income but it's high paying, don't be too confident with that as the market and tech industries have been laying off a lot of employees.

There's excessive cost of living which has lead to cut of cost and it has to an extend brought about mayhem to the average and below livelihood.
It has as well summoned discomfort of responsible married men whom couldn't meet up with their family needs and has caused a lot of married people regrets as a result of the present economy which has made majority vulnerable.
Right at the moment, marriage has become threatening engagement for the singles because Cartering for oneself at now is being much a big deal and then considering how to stand for a family of your own where you'll be the provider.
Indeed, the current economy situation is being discouraging for marriage.

There are mixed feelings regards this point. Sometimes it's good to be single, otherwise I doubt to be possible to have financial freedom or to achieve financial progression. I believe that if you aren't satisfied with your financial status, you have to try improving this aspect of your life before getting involved with someone else, otherwise you will create a lot of debt, and then you will be very likely unable to progress further in your investments.

On the other hand, if you suddenly find someone special, of course you won't neglect this chance life provided you. So even if there are financial plans in mind, you will probably conciliate it with the presence of the loved one in your life. In every cases, you just have to be careful to not be fooled by a selfish partner, who is only going to drain your forces and energies which are essential to progress in every senses of your existence.

Financial pressure always comes to anyone who has a limited income or is only able to meet daily needs without any left to save. Poor economic conditions require married people to look for side jobs to meet their needs because daily expenses cannot be avoided, besides that, savings are also needed as anticipation if they need funds quickly.
Challenges in life must be faced and solutions must be sought to overcome them, there are still many things that can be done to get out of economic difficulties such as doing several jobs or taking advantage of technological developments to make money. It takes struggle to face difficult times amidst economic difficulties, every problem must have a way out, depending on each individual whether they want to continue to survive in difficulties or want to immediately get out of the slump.

I don't think there are any individuals who want to continue to survive in difficulties with whatever status they currently have, because daily needs that continue to require money will make everyone continue to move in looking for work and continue to work in order to make money. Because as you said, people with low incomes will always find it easier to feel financial pressure in their lives, especially if they don't have additional income that they can use to save in order to make more useful investments for their own future.

It will be difficult to see people you can trust in business completely or perhaps you want to give a contract to someone of course they will charge you more. Based on the increase in the price of things, the married and the singles who are ready to get married go as far as lying, adding extra money in the quota they send for their business which limits the level of trust you can have for someone these days.

Its really hard to keep up with the basics things of life. What people are able to do now is to take care of themselves like providing food and shelter. Embarking on a project is difficult.

Do I regret it? No
Because it is useless to regret a decision that has been taken and then just lament it without taking action or making yourself develop better. I mean this economic situation is not once or twice we have gone through but the crisis cycle has existed since the past. We cannot stay in one place, therefore the only way to survive is to develop, improve our abilities. The world is a place of competition to reach the highest place, like it or not that is the fact.

Is bachelors/spinsters status a benchmark for being grateful? No
That's not how it works, because everyone has their own way of being grateful for the life they live.

That's all about surviving nowadays. Most of us are trying to keep with life and only the basic necessities that we need. That's why if you are able to still enjoy yourself with some luxuries or able to treat yourself and family with some extravagant and nice fine dining, you're at a good condition and state of living. Although, it's fine to treat yourself with of course good things in life because you'll never know if you'll still be able to do that the next day.

Our lives are short and if you're treating yourself right and as well as your spouse, it is your responbility. But those that are having a hard time in their source of income and don't have that much cash flow, you need to increase it and try to find ways that you'd be able to provide things and basic needs to your family. Money is most likely the reason why married people are having their fights and misunderstanding.

The man being the head of the family is faced with a lot of responsibilities which is the more reason why the man works so hard to be able to take care of his family needs but the rate of inflation is becoming too high thereby increasing the workload of the man because just like you said the man has to have multiple streams of income if he must be financially stable to take care of his family needs.

Getting a partner who can be of great assistance in marriage helps to reduce the work load of the man and helps in increasing the income flow in the family so instead of choosing a beautiful woman as a wife it is better before marriage a man considers someone who can assist the family by working to support also contribute income to the family.

If you says married you both each other makes a vow that you will stay no matter what happen in your life but of course it depends on you both of your partner if you both have willingness to make changes and to prove that you can manage your relationship not just emotional but also financially, but if just only one party makes its kind of I guess it's kind of different story then.
Also it's matter that you can survive in the economy if you think the relationship is not healthy at all there's nothing to make hold on at all that's why having a partner for life is not just an easy thing you must need to seek who have a grater future in mind.

The man is considered the breadwinner in the family, this is only true when it comes to finances and making money but when it comes to family happiness or how to make the family happy, I don't think the husband can do all. We always mention the role of the man in the family but ignore the role of the wife. If your wife does not sacrifice her youth to give birth to your children, does not raise the children, does not do housework and take care of everything in the family. Can you comfortably and focus full-time on making money? Therefore, women are also playing an important role even though they are not the ones making money.

You are married and have you ever tried to replace your wife with all the housework, taking care of the children, taking care of your elderly parents...? I bet you will never be able to do it because I have tried. Therefore, when choosing a wife, don't focus too much on whether they know how to make money or not, find a woman who knows how to sacrifice her youth for you and your family.

Many problems can arise in marriage. No one can know how this will happen without experiencing these problems. Even if they know each other well, life can sometimes ask them a different question.

Emotions are an important part of marriage, but financial matters are also important. It can be explained with many examples, but the parties in the marriage should make this situation easier for each other. They should know each other's expectations and desires, and in this way they can follow a more comfortable path.

As in the sentence "There is no difficulty that love cannot overcome", people who love each other should overcome the difficulties they encounter together and prevent problems that will come between them.

People should really that anticipate that problem is really that part of our life on which there's no man on this world or women who dont have that such potential problem or simply with marriage.
We do know that when it comes into this aspect then it would really be just that normal that there would really be problems that would really be faced on. It is really just that there are individuals who doesnt really like
to experience problem as if this one is really that possible.Lets say that you do have the money but you do have that uncurable disease or illness then what you would gonna do?
Money isnt everything and this is why on the moment that you are still struggling or lets say that you are really that in average side then be thankful on what you do have.

On the time that you would really be entering marriage then it would really be that just normal that you would really be needing up on getting prepared because on the time
that you do enter such moment of your life then this isnt something that you could take it back. Once you do make yourself shackled then you do already have the responsibilities
on which you would really be needing to fullfill or something that you do need to prioritize on.

A high cost of living is a threat to any life. Because every human being is used to moving in his position when an unusual environmental situation arises it becomes a burden for him. However many people would still be grateful to be single. But the ease of movement he had will not be there if the cost of living is high. But it is true that when a man is under economic pressure his temper will naturally be a little hot or agitated which will make the family stress easy. Therefore to cope with the situation it will be necessary to create new work areas.

With the worsening economic conditions in many countries like today, it has a direct impact on marriage. This is very natural, because the majority of people today are smarter and more realistic - especially women - they do not want their lives to be tortured when they get married, even when they are single their salary is only enough for their needs, especially when they are married, there are more needs that must be met and this makes most of them more realistic and maybe it will lead to household problems. And if the economic conditions get worse in the future, it is estimated that the global marriage rate could drop drastically and that will have an impact on many things and will only add new problems. The government as the responsible party must pay attention to economic problems, because with the improving economy, people's standard of living will be better, and that will automatically have an impact on the household lives of many people.

The economic situation greatly affects people who are mature enough to think about their future in a bad economy.  Instead of marrying at an earlier age, they tend to set aside their marriage to be able to earn enough so that their future family will not suffer.

This bad economy does not affect people who only think of themselves and their pleasure.  This is rampant in an area where poverty is seen.  Some couples even get married at a younger age passing their financial responsibility to their parents.

There was a study made on the impact of economic and technological change on marriage rates.  If anyone is interested, they can check this site: The Marriage Gap: The Impact of Economic and Technological Change on Marriage Rates (https://www.brookings.edu/articles/the-marriage-gap-the-impact-of-economic-and-technological-change-on-marriage-rates/)

I also do not deny that indeed family life with the current situation is very difficult in managing finances where income is not greater than the needs, the last few years we have been faced with high inflation rates in many sectors both in primary and secondary needs, this really makes families suffer, especially when the increase in salary for work is only at that 5% and inflation is much worse at 10%, of course this is not balanced and makes many families currently having difficulty in talking finances and needs that continue to increase.

Yes the marriage rate is definitely going down and also the divorce rate is increasing due to the unstable economic situation, this will have a much greater domino effect, such as the lack of regeneration of the nation's shoots because of the lack of marriage, and if the government does not see and improve the economy it will be very difficult in the future.

On the moment that you do find out that your income wont really be that enough on regarding to support your daily needs then it would really be that a huge problem for you as husband or the main supporter of the family specially on raising up your wife and your kids on which they do really need up those primary needs on which we know that this is something that very crucial which you would really be needing up to be given on which its our responsible as a father and husband. On the moment that you cant really be able to find up some alternatives or able to support their needs then this is where potential argumentations which could possibly cause up some divorce on which this isnt something that we do like. This is why as much as possible we should really be finding up ways on how we do make ourselves that able to give out their needs and even their wants. This is why we do really strive out on looking for another alternative on the moment or time that we do saw that our income in our
current job isnt really that sufficient.

There might be some financial adjustments, however if both of you have stable jobs and are managing both of your finances well, there's no serious problems that will arise. But if you are struggling already even before this economic downturn, so how much more seeing all the prices of goods and services continue to increase. This could even be the cause of married couple separation if they can't handle anymore the pressures and stress brought by the current high inflation.

Now as you say. I'm beginning to realize that I don't see marriage invite as frequently as they use to be. People are struggling to survive and aren't going into marriage for various reasons which the hardship in the world is a part of and another reasons is the high rate of divorce we're getting. Marriage aren't done because the people love each other and want to start a family to spent the rest of their lives together anymore, marriage is just about getting 50% of what the spouse has because it doesn't take long before the couple that just got married will divorce. Some people are marrying many spouce in a space of few years and getting paid for each divorce and this is just sad.


I'm not grateful because the ladies with good quality are becoming scarce, all we have left are leftover that have body counts in their hundreds. Ladies don't value their body anymore as they can sell it for few bucks. I missed the days when girls were moral and well trained. I hate that I'm not married yet but it is not something that I want to rush into as I want mine to be a life contract and not just for few years than we divorce. I'm not single, not married too but it shouldn't take more more years to settle down and start a family.

My main job is not able to meet the needs of my family this time, so I came back to the forum to look for opportunities here, even though I have the highest standard salary as an employee but still cannot meet my needs, ii is quite very difficult, I have to continue to look for a side in order to meet the needs of my family.

Talking about bargaining I think it's a strange thing in a family, but fortunately talking about the economy my wife understands the situation, it makes me feel much better because this is not my fault but indeed the level of bad policy from the government, even so I am not silent and calm when my wife can understand the current economic situation.

It affect for the fact that we need to work more harder to earn more money so that we can provide the basic needs of our family.

But never get any problem with current condition since at the moment even if we are tired to earn money still we are happy its because we can still provide the needs of our children despite of bad economic situation of the world where everything is expensive.

If they are worried about expensive prices to get married then much better for them to spend only base on their capabilities. They can marry their love ones without spending huge and simple wedding should be fine. They should not look after for more extravagant wedding then get a loan to make those things happen since it will burry them more. Focus on simple life and try to improve their selves since once they earn huge maybe in future they can do whatever they want especially if they start to earn big.

Yes, that's right, bro, marriage is a bond where two people are bound to become a family where they love each other and complement each other's shortcomings. The good or bad of a marriage relationship is not measured by whether the wedding reception is luxurious or not. , but from ourselves, from husbands and wives who look after each other and complement each other so that there are no disagreements, in the household there is a head of the household whose job is to earn sufficient living for his wife and children, when one job is not enough with sufficient wages It is accepted that we as heads of the household must think of other alternative ways to be able to generate income that is sufficient to cover the shortfall, so that economic disputes with our wives are avoided, so it is our job as men to earn sufficient income so that our family's daily needs can be met.

To be honest, if there are people that are more stressed. They're the responsible husbands that doesn't think of any other good things but to provide for their family.

Bringing food to the table is no longer the same as before that you can work typically on a grocery store, able to provide to your family and still have a median kind of living while able to afford a house.

Having a woman or a partner that's supportive to your cost is a blessing. Not everyone who's in a relationship get that a lot and able to find the perfect partner for their flaws.

The current economic downturn has significantly impacted marriage. Many couples delay or reconsider marriage due to financial instability, prioritising job security & savings. Increased stress & uncertainty can strain relationships leading to higher divorce rates. Younger generations may opt for cohabitation instead of formal marriage, because it’s a more financially viable option. Economic challenges also influence family planning with llts of couples postponing having children.

Economic crisis doesn't exempt anyone, wether your married with kids or your single, however it poses more danger to that of the family with kids, as their demand is higher than that of a single person. But  If you continuing to remain single because of economic conditions, then You will be doing yourself no good, because there is hardly a time in human society that we don't face situations, it does not get rosy as the days goes by, so it's better to look beyond the current economic situation and strategize how start your own family, doing so will enable you look for other means to help you keep your family afloat because your required to put enough effort at this point.  

The question is, if your grateful about being single, how long do you think you can continue remaining single?

On the moment that you do enter marriage then as a husband then the main priority that you would really be trying out to do is to give out all the priorities on which your  family does need for them to survive
and able to living a comfortable living. Everything would really be just that depending on how you would really be that handling yourself on trying out to earn something or able to make some other source of income
on which this one would really be situational. Not all would really be having that able to provide enough for their family and this is why we do see some different status on which there are ones who are rich
and there are ones who are on average and there are ones who are really that poor. When it comes into this situation then it would really be just that normal that you would really be thriving and doing
your very best on providing no matter what the cost and no matter on what are the things that you would gonna do on which as long it would be legal then it should really be just that fine.

There are really indeed instances on which marriage is broken because of that not able to provide the needs just because of some aspect or those common conditions.It would really be just that wives on the time that they are really that struggling on your side then they would really be neither they do find their own way and there are ones would really be leaving out because they cant really just that be able to bare up with the risks.  Economic conditions become shit as the years passing by and this is why its not really that shocking anymore that you would really be having those kind of shit conditions
basing up on how much you would really be that thriving or doing things accordingly.

Being a breadwinner in the family, it's given that you have to keep working hard so you can feed your family and provide them all their necessities, regardless if the cost of living is cheap nor expensive. However, with the current economic situation, the more you need to find means constantly so you can create a healthy and productive family, otherwise if you just get carried away with procrastination and wrong choices in decision making, your life with your family will end up at a mess.

It has a big effect, the cost of living effect everyone's life if you are not married you will surely has a doubt for getting married because as what we have seen many married couple broke up because of the financial problem, there are many people choose to be single even if thier age are getting old because they are afraid that if they get married they cant afford to buy things that is needed for the family, but anyway the decision is all yours if you think getting married today is worst than getting married for the next couple of years then it is all up to you but remember that the basic needs price is rising almost every year and if you wait for it to become low at price before you married then i think it is really hard and you will end up getting old alone and so lonely.

It is true that most people who decide to end their relationship are due to financial problems and this happens because their partner cannot meet their living expenses sufficiently so that this makes some people not dare to get married before they have enough income to be able to meet their needs and for now most people choose not to get married because of this, it is the most important thing before deciding to get married to be able to have a plan with your partner so that we can accept how the conditions are after marriage and also must be able to try to meet the needs together because if only one is responsible of course it will be difficult to meet the needs together.

In every country of the world, the cost of living has increased significantly these days and this trend is continuing. The prices of daily necessities are also increasing. In this situation, the lives of all the lower level people are almost in danger. Where people are struggling to manage their own lives, if they want to ruin their married life, it will be more difficult to manage. Almost most of the countries were affected by the corona pandemic and soon after the war with Russia started in Ukraine which made the financial situation more difficult through inflation in the whole world.

Surviving must be a big challenge for those who are getting married in this situation. Especially if they cannot increase their income through employment. And there are many who were dreaming of marriage but they turned away from it. Many married people also got divorced. The bottom line is that if the financial situation is not good then leading an orderly life becomes a problem.

I would like to say that the standard of living of not only the lower class but also the upper class people is being disrupted mainly due to high inflation. Now the price of every essential commodity has increased and almost doubled. When the situation was normal, when we used to buy a thing for 1 dollar, now the same thing has to be bought for twice(2x) that amount i.e. 2 dollars. When the epidemic started in every country of the world, the economic recession started in the world. Since then, the economic recession has not yet been overcome in many countries of the world. Still, the war between Russia and Ukraine, even the war between Palestine and Israel can be identified as one of the causes of the world's economic recession.

The world goes through a pretty consistent boom and bust scenario when it comes to the economy, with individual countries suffering at different times and to different extents. Looking at the bigger picture, through our lifetimes you can expect there to be a bad economic situation (recession) every 8 years, with 2-3 corrections in between. That means that you have to expect these harder times to occur throughout your lifetime and if your marriage cannot weather the storm then maybe it was never meant to be. Keeping communication open is definitely critical during these times, because you have to coordinate your more limited resources effectively and both people in the relationship need a bit of an outlet too.

Your suggestion seems to be directed at telling others to get married and end their singlehood and I think that is a very good thing because I myself am married and have children at this time. And for those who are not married just because of their current economic conditions, I think that cannot be used as a special reason because in the end they will also think about it in order to end their singlehood in life to be able to have children as the next generation later. So whatever the current economic conditions, people who are still single must continue to think about how they can get married and have a more stable life by building their own family.

Because when we are still able to work and make money through any business, of course that's when we must have the thought of being able to build a family through marriage and not just be grateful for being single. And from your question, it is actually very difficult to give an answer because the age of each person always continues so that even if we can get married at an old age, it will also be more troublesome for ourselves in taking care of our own children and family. Not to mention that our work capacity is getting older, it can decrease and that can also make our income level less stable.

We have to look for a partner who can accept our shortcomings without demanding the fulfillment of luxurious needs, we have to be committed to having a serious relationship even though our economic condition is in the middle class, we have to choose a partner who has an economic class below us or the same economic class. If we follow this advice then the economic situation of any country will not affect the marriage relationship. However, as you suggested above, we hope to have a partner who is independent and can earn his own income so that it will not make it difficult for us to meet our family's needs.

Yeah I agree; without any hesitation because situation is going on worst for many even many countries are having deep troubles so just because of this in country where I am living mostly peoples rare considering not to marry with many those are married, and having families try to cut ties and live alone because situation is completely out of the control few years back we were not having reports on divorces and now numbers are increased as many married peoples are leaving things and trying to adjust live alone without any extra burden but still they have to face consequences.

In our area currently we are having many families these are having family members those are crossing marriage age, but they are still not considering because they are fearing with things are going around, and they are feeling they are not able to handle this all it's really affected on this in last one decade.

If you are grateful for what you have now, that is the best victory for yourself. Life is difficult, but don't make it difficult, just live as you are even though your economy is bad, that's life nowadays. It's important for us to have the skills to survive if the economy is unstable in life, for those who are married.

Many of our married friends have a bad economy, but they remain confident by developing their skills in their respective fields, for example: agriculture or fisheries, by taking advantage of the existing natural conditions they will create their own economy for their families, don't expect the government's economy to be 100% focused on creating your own economy for those who already have families.

A bad economy is not a threat for someone who wants to get married, there are many alternatives that can be done to get married, a simple marriage without being extravagant is an option for bachelors, If the economy gets worse, you have the desire and will there is definitely a way out, even though the economy is bad, in the days of our ancestors there was no economy but people could get married and live, why can't it be done now, unless: you follow the worldly model.

This recent bad economic trend seems to be worldwide and it has caused problems in many relationships not only between married couples. Money itself has lost it value due to high rate of provisions and commodities but the credit goes to low income. At a time like this, having understanding partner play important role in maintaining peace in the household. How were coping before the hardship? Because that's what will determine if your partner should be supportive or become a quarell partner.


Is there any category of people who are not feeling the impact of this harsh economy? Grateful for what exactly? Well, I know as a single person you have no responsibility aside taking care of yourself but you also need enough money to do that. Imagine having a supportive partner who is ready to be there for you? At least, you have someone to run to if things get rough. The only thing to be grateful for now is having a good paying job to be able to foot your bills.

Through your speech you have shown the real picture of married and unmarried people due to economic depression. It is this economic depression that has resulted in frequent quarrels between one of my neighbors, whereas earlier times were much happier and free from strife. In any case any bachelor boy or girl would not feel inclined to get married in this situation. As a result of this injustice will take place in society that is extramarital sexual relations and other crimes and family turmoil and strife.

COntentment and doing the things you are really knowing that it is right but turns out to be sufficient then it is the best way that you could be able to live your life for specially with your love ones or on the moment that you would really be making yourself get engage or entangled with married life on which we know that there would be responsibilities on which you would really be needing to work hard and smart on making up some investments or businesses on which it would really be helping you out on sustaining your life in terms of financial. Usually couples do make out some divorcement on the time that they cant really be able to make their family be providing the needs that they do have or on what they do need to survive. This is why we are really seeing things such as this on which it is really just that sad.

If you would really be planning on having a married life then you should really be that prepared so that you would really be that making yourself having no issues when it comes into this aspect.
You are the ones who would really be dealing up with things and would really be able to provide on what they do want. Never ever make yourself be that confident that you would be just
contented on what you do have now because having family means that you would really be needing more responsibility.

On what basis do you assert that couples around your house are arguing and the cause is the economic recession?

We must be responsible for our own family's happiness, we must know how to balance everything because life is not always rosy. If you and your wife are having a conflict because making money is increasingly difficult, you should both talk to understand each other better and find a way to solve the problem. Don't try to blame the economy or anyone when your family's happiness has problems, it's your happiness and it will be your fault if you can't keep it completely.

Financial challenges often become the result of a bad economy, which may lead to marital conflicts due to financial stress, and if these married couples cannot manage anymore to retain their relationship, divorce would be the last option. Also, having bad economic creates a negative impact to the children as well because their basic necessities might not be totally met at all, thus resulting into malnourished which greatly affects the health and mentality of the children.

Both the unmarried(single) and the married, none of them are happy about today's economy. Everyone is complaining bitterly.

Each time I remember how the unmarried are coping badly in this present bad economy, I begin to imagine how the married people who have families will be coping to survive in the same economy that the single people who do not have many responsibilities are complaining about.

It's a bitter experience that things that were cheap to afford before are no longer affordable today. People's efforts in their lives to get their daily bread, are no longer reaching them anywhere in terms of feeding themselves and their families. It's an ugly situation that we are in, nobody seems to be happy about again that their labor is turning out to be in vain since they can't comfortably afford to have three square meals again

It is even difficult for us to start from where, everything seems so limited, with the price of basic necessities increasing every day. For those who have a fixed income, maybe this situation is not so bitter, but for the lower middle class, complaining about this kind of thing is a daily meal. If it is difficult to survive, I think there is no longer any thought of getting married and having a family, let alone making long-term plans. Financial conditions play a fairly central role in the sustainability of the social order, even in the smallest scope that we call family. However, we must not give up on the situation, we must always try to find a source of income, even if we have to become manual laborers. Keep healthy, while continuing to learn to improve skills that can generate income.

Marriage is uniting two feelings into one with each perception that will give birth to a complex decision from two people who have the intention of building a fairly happy family. So that of course it cannot be separated from the maturity of the thinking of two individuals who will live under one roof and this must also be supported by the level of stability of their own income so that they can distance themselves from difficulties when building their own family.

Because if two people want to get married just because they love each other and don't have any other capital that can support their love to continue and run well, I think people who only have the capital of love don't need to continue their status to the level of marriage even though there are things that are very worrying to happen like what you said (extramarital sex).

And this particularly means that you would really be needing up to have that kind of plan specially if you are a guy since you would really be the one would really be raising up your family
or simply with your wife and future kids that would be born. It would really be needing up that kind of approach before you would really be gonna dealing up with marriage life. It might really that looks simple and
might not be complicated on first impression but on the moment that you would really be finding yourself on such condition then you would really be that definitely telling into yourself that it wasnt easy.
On the time or moment that you would be tying up yourself into married life then it would be that important that everything should really be having a proper planning if we do speak or talk about finances.

There's no way that you could really be able to avoid those possible problems or quarrels specially in talks about short of budget or simply having problems with finances. This is why
it would really be that important that you should really be knowing yourself on what are the priorities and preparations on which you would really be needing up on doing so
before you would really be making up such final decision. So it would really be just that understandable on this aspect.

I agree into this sentiment.

You should be considering the ff:
1. Building your own house/shelter/food
2. Budget for starting for a new family (having a child)
3. Saving up for education
4. Saving up for emergency fund
5. Saving up for retirement

Or simply providing their needs and even into their wants. This is why i do heavily agree on what you have said that everything should really be in plan
because if you do decide to be married into someone but doesnt have the savings that you could be able to raise or provide into you family
then it would be just that right that you should still remain single for a while. lol

I am bachelor, and at the moment thought is to remain bachelor for rest of life as I don't consider myself to be responsible enough to handle wife and kids, plus I don't want to perpetuate my conditioning.

BTW, I loved to read responses here, some personal insights rather than usual crypto stuff feels like a breath of fresh air.

Learning a skill or having a side hustle will help out. Time has passed when one would depend on a single job for survival, talk more of someone who wants to start up a family or already has a family in this current economic hardship where inflation is on the rise, and the government we look up to is not of a rescue to make life easier for the ones the rule, instead, they keep making away millions of dollars to your account to invest in other countries and them and their families to have a luxurious life.

That being said, financial disagreement is now a common source of conflict in most families. It has further led to divorce because men can no longer provide for their families, which has led to being unfaithful to both parties(husband and wife). However, a bad economy has caused a lot of havoc. If nothing is done, it can lead to untimely death as a result of the pressure and frustration of catering to the family

that most men 90% work until they die if they have empathy for that sense of responsibility. but married life is not easy because you have to accept each other's shortcomings and love each other's shortcomings. I got married at a mature age, because previously I had many factors but God had other plans. when I think when I'm old who will take care of me later, because when I'm old my body will be weak again and I hope there will be someone to accompany me like a wife and children who are devoted to their parents

True, most people marry so they have someone who can look after them when they are old. My friends also say same to me, who will look after you when you are old? Well, they are right, I dunno but I still don't want to marry.

I have a friend who is the same as you, they are stubborn with the principles they have made at this time. Why is my friend reluctant to get married because there are several effects that make them not want to get out of that zone. If you think logically, who wants to be happy, have a small family and cute children, become happier. Surely that ideal is what every person who is not lucky wants to have. I am sure you can be like others to build a more harmonious family

Even for a single like me it's tough, it may be tougher for married people and families but it's not so easy for a single. Yes, as a single you can manage yourself and work harder for a better future but in the time of hustling you find yourself crying a lot. There are still bills like gas, food(very expensive), transportation, upkeep etc to make.

The joy is that no child is crying and holding you by the leg to feed them but you know how hard it is for you to feed properly and get by on a daily basis. So, ok summary the economy is tough for a single, I'm grateful I don't have extra cost like child upkeep but even upkeep for myself is financially and mentally draining. 

I haven't married yet. but my parents' were affected by this "bad economic" in their marriage. Economy is the main reason of divorce in my country, seeing this fact, I'm a bit scared for my own sake and my future children if one day I got married with someone. For now, I'm kinda grateful for I am not married yet so i could get prepared for my own economy situation first before I decided to get serious in a relationship to prevent any unwanted problem in a marriage which cause by economy.

Even thinking about the responsiblity, marriage expenses and child expenses are giving me goosebumps somehow, I'm afraid if I'm failed to provide them.

If you are not getting married because you fear that you will not be able to provide for your wife and children after marriage, then this thinking is wrong.  Marriage is a relationship in which real life is recognized.  There is a blessing in marriage, which causes an increase in a person sustenance.  It is a rare relationship in which life takes a new direction with love and understanding.  Most people experience is that after marriage their livelihood increased and life became blessed and peaceful.  So do not look at marriage with fear or worry but as the beginning of a new life.

What you said is very heartwarming, buddy. Yes, I'm scared of it, but I didn't say that I don't want to. That's why it will take a longer time for me to get prepared until I'm ready.
I will put in mind what on your words. Thanks a lot. It just what I have experienced give me a lot to think and a lot to put into consideration before I finally chooses someone to get married.

Why people would really be that rushing up themselves on getting married? This isnt really that something that would really be that easily be making up such decision considering that you would really be looking for someone whom you would be with for the rest of your life. This is why you wont really be needing up to rush yourself because if you would then it might bring up that forever regret you would really be having in life
specially when you do get married on someone whom you dont like or something that talks about getting forced or something related to it. As for preparations on marriage life then it would  really be that understandable
that you would really be needing up to have that kind of plans specially on finances. Make yourself that financially prepared since you are building your own family and as a husband or father to be then
tons of responsibilities on which you would really be needing up to provide.

This is why it would really be that important that you should really be that prepared or else then you would really be experiencing that hardship into your marriage life. This is why preparations
would really be that relevant and something that you must need to be done because having no preparation would really be might lead into some financial arguments later on specially
if your wife and children cant take anymore the bad experience that they are really having along side with you as the head of the family.

Deciding to get married is certainly not an easy thing and we must be able to accept the shortcomings of our partner and must be able to complement each other in various ways and if one of the partners does not trust each other then it will be very difficult to last long and I agree with you we do not need to rush in this matter, we must choose a partner who can accept all the shortcomings that we have and we must also be able to accept the shortcomings of our partner and always complement each other, before deciding to get married of course we must have a good income in order to meet the needs of our family later, because for now it is not uncommon for us to see those who choose to separate because what their partner needs is not met.

If a couple supports each other, of course this will make it easier for them to solve every problem they face, therefore every couple who wants to get married must first ask their partner whether they are ready to accept all the shortcomings they have because everyone certainly has their own shortcomings and advantages, because if they cannot accept their partner's shortcomings, of course their marriage will not last long because there will always be problems in their relationship.

When talking about family, it is a house because inside it there are many things that need to be prepared. Vice versa when talking about marriage and there are many things that need to be prepared carefully. One of them is a way to make money so that we can be responsible after marriage with the increasingly high cost of living.

I have married and I have never regretted it and in fact I am a person who believes that because of marriage, my fortune will increase. Even though the process of life is not easy and we have to work hard to achieve financial freedom. The concept lies within us and how far we are willing to struggle to improve our finances for the better because in my opinion the process never translates into results.

I am lucky enough to be married and have children because now they are my strength to earn money and they are also my life encouragement now.

You are right on that because marriage can come with a lot of blessing, perhaps that's actually what most people do not understand, though I no that is very important for someone to be financially stable before going into marriage but the question is that what if it takes so many years before it comes?, well everybody has there own definition of financial stability in regards to marriage because so long as someone can provide for there family three square meal a day there is nothing wrong in getting married because no condition is permanent so long as they are very hardworking, I have even seen a situation were a man was going through financial challenges but the moment he decided to settle down and get married everything changed for him.

No money is always going to make people apprehensive and turn families against each other. It kind of drives you to a point of desperation. But it's not something that's going to happen just because of a bad economy unless you were also hit with a bunch of large bills at the same time. It's more of an "I can no longer afford this", type of thing, not an "I can't afford anything" thing.

The same reason why most people can't save up for a house is because it keeps increasing. Instead, they spend the money on flashy items, clothes, shoes, phones, etc. In this economy, doom spending is thriving amongst young people who cannot purchase the stuff they want like cars, real estate, build a family and much more. Investing in themselves by paying for tattoos, nails, and expensive hairstyles, becomes a norm in society. I was reading a whole lot of young users complaining on BoredPanda (https://www.boredpanda.com/young-people-doom-spending/) about the things they can't afford anymore in this generation.

Exactly, marriage is not a race. Those who are lucky enough to have a stable job and married to their dream partner, congratulations to them. I, myself, hasn't been that lucky, but it is okay, I just want to be more responsible in the future.

A lot of people will get married, but not all of them would last forever. Especially when we know how hard marriage is and how divorce will affect everything in our life, especially our children. That is what I'm scared the most.

So, I prefer to get married when I'm really ready for it, financially, phisically, and mentally. I won't get married just because I want to.

Everyone can choose and make decisions based on their own knowledge and that also includes choosing a life partner to live together forever. Because when we choose the wrong life partner, of course there will be bad effects that we will feel in life such as the difficulty of making compromises because there are two ideas that cannot be combined so that we cannot focus on working and earning money. So in terms of choosing a life partner, of course there must be mutual understanding and mutual liking so that our lives can run peacefully without any meaningless fuss.

I will put your words in mind, facing our own insecurities and trauma based on experience within the family could be challenging somehow, it makes us became more scared of something and could alter our mind from making the right and objective decision. In this case if finding someone that we mutually understand and accept.  I believe in order to gain the courage to face our own mind, I have to have a good preparation and understanding in realizing what happened with us psychologically. Thank you  for your encouraging words.

Not really just that limited on marriage aspect but also in other things as well on which it would really be that making you that thinking that it would really be that hard for you to have such action on which we know that when it comes to various decisions then it will really be needing up that careful steps that you would be needing ahead because on the time that you will really be having such awareness about other peoples experiences then you would really be that keen on making up some further actions just because you would really be that get scared or would really be not that liking for you to be able to experience on the same thing. This is why it would really be that important that you should really know at least on whats the difference among into those decisions you would be making and trying out to reflect yourself into their condition.

Speaking about marriage then this isnt something and easy thing that you could just simply get in and tends to get out if you cant bare it anymore. This is really that a lifetime commitment on which
you would really be needing to stood strong on it or would be taking up the responsibility that attaches to it. Here comes that normal thing about having those preparation and those plans on which
its really just that a normal thing that you would be needing up to get in place or organized because you are building your own family so financial aspect or preparedness is really that a default thing.

Seeing the cost of living getting expensive from time to time is inevitable. But I don't think this is really a serious problem for those who are both working or both have their own individual source of income. There may be instances that they can't afford some things that they used to afford before, but that's only normal when your budget is tight. What's more important these days is to increase your sources of income since relying on a sole source is hard and risky, and don't wait before it will come to damage your marital relationship between husband and wife.

That's obvious because not a few people think that having a partner will actually make conditions even more difficult and not a few people who already have a partner experience internal problems that result in separation because of economic factors that are difficult to stem.

But regarding this matter, I personally feel that everything depends on the choice and commitment that is carried out. I am someone who is married and has a small family where I live with my partner and child for now. It is clear that for now the needs are getting more and more especially my child is still small where he still needs baby diapers and milk to support his life so that the current conditions are clearly felt when the economy is in a difficult condition for now coupled with a large burden of life then this will greatly impact the economic factors owned. But when our commitment and our partner have begun to be well established and both have the same chemistry then I think we have considered this and still enjoy running our marriage so that even though many people sometimes choose single (not having a partner) and those who separate when they already have a partner only because of economic factors it is not entirely like that because in the end there are still a lot of couples who survive and this is just about the perception of life in the end.

This condition has been going on for a long time and now it is difficult to get a job to earn money if people do not have skills. When talking about marriage, there are many things that we may have to highlight, both needs and other financial preparations for needs that we do not predict. This situation cannot be resolved without planning because in a household there are many needs that may have to be met. I am grateful to be married and until now I have been given the opportunity to build happiness with them.

If you want to live happier, then someone must think about how to make money and have time spent with family. Happiness is not always seen from how much money we have, but money is also a fairly important part of living life in this world and no less importantly we must be able to balance it.

The economic instability that occurs in my opinion has an impact on those who are married or single. because of course this makes everything more difficult, such as someone who is still single with a job that can only make them survive with a mediocre income, but when this income is lost it will certainly affect them on a large scale. and with those who are married or have families, in my opinion it is the same or maybe even worse.
when there is a couple who are officially married and experience economic difficulties, there must be problems that occur. several cases of divorce occur due to unstable economic factors, either because the man does not want to work or it is indeed difficult to find work. therefore, as much as possible we must be able to stabilize the economic situation so that everything is fine when married or still single, in my opinion a stable economic situation must still be prioritized.

Thank you for the explanation, that sums up everything in term of facing our own fears. When we experience or witness a painful or traumatic event, our brain will subconsciously develop a coping mechanism to prevent that from happening again. What you just explained is how coping mechanism work.

And when it comes to marriage, what you said about it is what I also want to have. But looking into nowadays dating habit which is kinda messed up, it is rather hard to trust someone who would share the same value as you, and in this case is about loyalty and sincerity

Economic instability will affect everyone, but single people will feel less pressure than those with families, especially couples with young children. But I think whether there will be any problems between them will depend on how they love and treat each other. Not all couples argue and have problems like you said.

For example, my family, our income has decreased a little bit compared to last year but we still try to work together every day and there is no problem between us. Or many other couples around me, all are very harmonious even though they are also having economic problems. It can be said that it depends on how we treat each other as well as how we solve problems.

By the way, the idea that one needs to be financially stable before marriage sounds idealistic and most unmarried people aspire to that. But the question is when will you get a steady income, and if you never get a steady economy, what is your next plan?  ;) ;)
I've been there and I just want to tell you that it's easier said than done and it's not all bad when things don't go according to our plans. The proof is that my wife and I are very happy no matter what challenges we face.

All costs of goods and services are increasing at this time but monthly income or salary does not adjust the impact of inflation, we have to save to use income for monthly needs and we cannot buy some optional items for our needs because of the current price increase we have to save the budget, I think our partners understand the impact of the current bad economy very well and they will not make economic matters a problem with household relationships, I think if we have the right partner will accept all our current realities and we have to fight together to improve the economy by looking for other income opportunities.

When the economic situation is bad, extra caution must be taken in the use of money otherwise it will be difficult to manage the situation. At present the economic situation is not good in most of the countries of the world. At this time, how to survive should be focused. While cutting unnecessary expenses, one should also continue to plan to increase one's income. When there is a financial crisis in the family, the crisis should be resolved through the new members of the family. If it can be done then there is no problem. If family members can understand where they spend their income and adapt themselves to the situation, minimizing the impact of spending as needed, they will be able to survive in any situation.

The cost of living actually scares a lot of people now to become independent talk more of marriage, getting married in this economy and living comfortably with your spouse can only be achieved if you have a steady source of income or should I even say different streams of income. in Nigeria right now a lot of people don't put marriage on their priority list because they are barely surviving due to the crazy inflation and economic melt down, before getting married right now you should at least have a business going on

Blaming the victim could help you a lot, but you can check how much the house prices changed in the last 50 years while also how much the salaries changed. Look at just the last 20 years if you want, or even last 10 years. You will see that house prices went up way more than the salaries, so that means that people who work a normal day right now, can't end up buying a house, because it's too expensive

 In my country, it's literally impossible to buy a house right now, you inherit it, or you have other stuff you sell to get it, but your salary would never be worth it due to high interest, not because of the price of the houses directly, those are high too of course but the high interest rate makes it unending till you finish it off. Do not blame people for getting phones or  clothes, when nobody pays them enough to buy a house.

If we look at the current economy, not only people who are married are experiencing difficulties, but many teenagers and bachelors are also experiencing this, so there must be burdens in life, but we must be able to live them and believe that there must be a way and a way out, and never burden ourselves with things that we have not experienced.

The worsening economic conditions have caused many fatal problems for couples in life, divorce and disputes that occur in this community are very often caused by economic factors. Given the minimal income and increasing food prices, it triggers economic limitations for someone, especially for families who have needs.

What needs to be done is to improve their income in meeting their living needs, maybe you can do some additional business efforts to help the economy get better, minimal income makes someone limited in doing something.


 For those who are still single / do not have a partner, they should prepare for a much better future, such as following up on economic problems and anticipating to get more than enough income to meet their living needs, you should prepare your future.

This proves that the current economic situation is really very bad and a serious problem for everyone. In my country, the salary you get will never be able to buy a house if you want to have a house in the city. Unless you buy a small house by borrowing money from the bank and you will pay it every month for 4 or 5 years. Honestly, the salary you get is really very little because the price of basic necessities has increased significantly. A basic item can even be 50% more expensive than the previous year. Yes, inflation is really a disaster. Salaries only increase around 5-10% per year but inflation increases 20-30% per year based on the reality on the ground, not based on inflation reports from a country.

You are right mate, the economic situation is not just affecting  married people, most single men and women are really hustling hard (back to back) just to make a living, some people are even taking up to two to three jobs so that they can earn more money to enable them be able to handle all their needs. These time around, salary from one job is not enough again to handle all the bills of one man and his family.

Even more connecting our topic with the cryptocurrency theme, I want to say that I saw girls who know the world of cryptocurrencies very well. And this is very cool. Imagine that your future wife could perfectly discuss blockchain technologies or the Bitcoin rate with you. I also know a girl who works as a consultant on the cryptocurrency exchange. I think these will be very interesting and promising wives in the future.

Economic hardship is a truth serum for your relationship. Money's tight, masks come off, priorities get real. It's not just about budgeting; it's about understanding your partner's financial and emotional limits. Tough times force conversations you'd normally avoid. Are you talking about what really matters? If not, start now. Dig deep. This is where you find out if your relationship is built on sand or solid ground

Self-esteem takes a beating when the economy tanks. Financial stability and feeling secure in a relationship are often linked. Money problems can shake the foundation of your self-worth and respect for each other. Love is powerful, but it doesn't pay the bills. This is where you need to think outside the box. Can you find creative ways to thrive despite the circumstances? Can you nurture your connection even when things are tough? Remember, challenges can refine your relationship, not define it. Don't let them break you. Let them make you stronger

I have a dream to get a potential partner who has the same work background in the crypto field, we can discuss the crypto market and we can analyze together to find opportunities to trade potential coins and we have assets from the same income, I really hope that can come true in the future. However, currently many girls already know the basics of crypto and bitcoin, so we can guide our partners to provide knowledge about the crypto market and we can give them some dollars to train their understanding in analyzing the crypto market.

So don't worry if you haven't got a potential partner from a crypto exchange consultant job, we can provide crypto knowledge to anyone, even many girls are currently active in group airdrops because they have received free dollars from airdrop participation and some of the airdrop income is used for trading activities.

Your answer is incredibly full of wisdom. And these words are very important, although no one will understand this until they themselves are in a relationship. Indeed, in every couple, each partner has their own methods of saving, desire to spend, and so on.
Money is a very important aspect of family life, and unfortunately, many women have sky-high demands on their partner after visiting Instagram for a long time. And this is wrong.

I do not believe how poor economic conditions can prevent a young man from getting married. A country's overall economic problem becomes a national problem. Then everyone's economic condition becomes worse especially if an unmarried young man has poor economic condition then he has to marry a girl with poor economic condition. However, after marriage, there may be a little problem in managing the wife's expenses, but if both the husband and wife have good planning or understanding, then there is no problem in running their family.

Money isnt everything but we do know that when it comes to things then it would really be just turning out that people would really be definitely be focusing that much when it comes to accumulating money as much as they could. Yes, we cant be able to survive without money and this is why if you do find yourself not to be that prepared then it would really be having those chances that you would really be living a misderable or struggling life on which you dont expect for it to happen into you. Its true that women nowadays becomes having that kind of high standards now when it comes on choosing up their man, although it wont 100%
or can be considered generally but most of them would really be having this kind of approach. This is why as a man then before you would considering on having that kind of entering on marriage life then
it would really be ideal that you should really be that making yourself financially stable before on doing such act.

Not all women would really be focusing too much on the money as long they do love the person but i would tell you that love would surely fade up on the time that his man cant be able to provide
on their daily needs specially if he do have the family on which the primary priority would really be on how to raise up and provide the needs of his family.
This is why we could really be able to see families been broken up not really just that on the reason of cheating but also in the reason of financial status and condition.

Due to poor economic conditions, many are holding back marriage. Especially our economic condition in Bangladesh is very bad. The people of this country are not very well off. Many people are unable to get married due to lack of good jobs. It appears that even after studying for a long time, they are not able to get a good job.If they cannot get a good job after finishing university college, they are very reluctant to get married. They always think that if they get married now, how will the family support them. Even though there may not be such a situation in unique countries, in my country, the economic situation is bad, and the marital status of people has some impact on people's lives. There was a time when we always thought that now I am doing nothing, there is no work, there is no job, now we will get married, how will we support our wife. Now I earn money even though I don't have to worry about managing the family like before. So if the economic condition is bad, any work is hindered.

But I want to note fairly that women partly have the right to make high demands on their men. And to all who complain, I suggest imagining how women think. Their youth is fleeting, and they have only a few years to find a man and create a good family, then women quickly age.
That is why they want so much in the short period of their best years. But the main thing is that their demands are feasible, and not, for example, like this: "I want a man with a salary of 10 thousand dollars a month." This is impossible.

the bad economy has led to the inability of parents  to properly take care of her children which has led so many of them that never knew they could get involved in prostitution and dubious means of making money consider those sort of route. Parents have totally lost charge of thier wards because they aren't financially bouyant enough to take care of thier responsibility. Some were doing well before and could afford to sponsor thier kids to school and midway into the journey inflation sets in and the school fees and other expenses triples in amount and they can't afford to take care of the young child who is just a student.  Most of them are left with the option of iether dropping out or to remain in school while doing anything possible to raise finance for the school need. Prostitution, stealing and the worse vices you can think of then becomes the easiest thing to start. The bad economy has not just affected marriages but has also touched on other areas of life.

People who are dirt poor are still getting married because they don’t think about these stuff like we do. Rich people  sometimes get married because they want to know how it feels like. (To be trapped I guess?)  Middle class usually avoid marriage because they don’t find it viable. Living comfortably while raising a kid is not possible for these people so they give up on making kids.

It is pretty much the same everywhere in the world at the moment.

Of course, this inflation and economic crunch did affect the majority of the people. Food and commodity prices have gone way up and it is getting tougher and tougher to maintain the lifestyle. This situation is challenging for low-income individuals.
As far as the effect of this economic situation on the marriage is concerned, I don't think this should affect the relationship between husband and wife. If you have an understanding partner, things will work out nicely as they will face the challenges together like they used to. This will make their bond even more stronger.
For these kinds of situations, it is advisable to have emergency funds, more than one source of income, and a good investment portfolio (stocks, property, gold, BTC, etc.).

The level of inflation in my country is in it's all time high and everybody is feeling the heat, except for the corrupt politicians who are looting the economy dry. Most families are facing hardship because of our devaluing fiat currency because the prices of commodities in the market are skyrocketing everyday. I believe that hardships affects most marriages because it's not easy to love when you're hungry and not able to meet uo with your basic expenditures. Sometimes there'll be no respect in the marriage especially on the side of the women, it takes matured minds to be able to remain in peace during hardships. I wouldn't say that the hardship in my country has affected my marriage because I had nothing when I got married and I'm better off today than then.

The economic impact on marriage is huge. It comes down to whether you can meet all the primary, secondary and tertiary needs of your partner and yourself. There are many things that can cause a marriage to end due to economic factors, especially when a couple is really lacking in finances. However, one of the most important factors in a marriage is a stable economy, and one that tends to rise.

It is true that those who have great influence in a corrupt government environment never feel the impact of inflation because they only think about themselves and will never think about the fate of their people, but if they think about the fate of the people, of course the government will think of a way out in dealing with inflation so that people can still meet their family's needs well and for every couple who wants to get married, of course it will be very difficult for them if the income they have is only enough to be spent by themselves and if they do get married, of course it will be very difficult to survive with a mediocre economy.

If a woman does not have respect for her partner, it will be very difficult to maintain their household, but if they can encourage their partner to continue working, of course they will be able to get a better job and will also be able to meet the needs of their family, so it is very important in every relationship to have mutual trust and also encourage their partner to continue to develop themselves to be better than before.

The currently situation has affected many people in the country both the single men’s and marriage people are feeling this situation, because the cause of living want to kill the living even those that have on their mind to get married this days do not have that interest in their mind again due the economic situations of the country.
But the thing is that no matter how the economic situation bad reach who can survive can definitely survive and still get what he want without feel anything, so for the bachelor nobody is praying to remain in the bachelor just because of inflation in the country everything is matter of time it will shall well.

The point is responsibility.  Although for now there are still a lot of people who agree and support women empowerment but I still don't agree with this concept because for me women are things that need to be protected and when a man tries to have a relationship (in this case marriage) then they should be able to take responsibility for the woman he married so it is quite natural if we give the best to our partner because we have taken away a woman's freedom from parents who have spoiled her.

A woman's fate after marriage will ultimately not be far from the affairs of the house and children so we as a couple must provide the best needs that we can do to make her comfortable with the household that is lived. It's not a matter of demands but our responsibility as men at the end of the day.

The hardship and suffering just because of this economy is affecting everyone and it is no longer how responsible you are opportunities are getting limited every blessed day, so the option to key into now some might still require capital for start up. Everything now requires money now. Just that the level at which married people are feeling the heat is different from single people since the population they are Caring and providing for is not to be compared, so that is one of the reasons why you source for capital then you will be able to make different finicial choices. And the level at which this economy is taking us we might find it very hard to feed in the future and crime rate will increase because they are studies already that shows that. I was already thinking that a time will come it will be better to go back to rural areas because the level at which crime will increase in urban areas it might become more difficult for us to stay in, because the moment their is nothing for people to do to get money then the next thing will be for them to start steal and the government will lose control because they have failed to control their self when they had the opportunity to, but they decided to ignore the consequences is own it's way.

Indeed, it affects a lot as married people needs to address not only your personal but also the needs of your partner,  if so happened that you can't afford or you can't meet the expected obligations it will start something that might ruined your relationship, though in this modern age where both couples can work there's always a better ways to go along the situation,  it's just need to have that mutual understanding and the reason why you both pick each other and how comfortable both of you with each other.

True, a man is definitely the main responsible person in the family. If a woman earns more and does all the housework herself, then the role of a man in the family is questionable. I am such a man should either make an effort to achieve something more or help his wife around the house. After all, in the modern world we are moving away from typical roles in the family.
Nevertheless, in any case, women are attracted to a man's Prospects. Even if a man is a loser, he should try and believe in himself, get tired, trying to achieve the goal. And a woman should motivate him and support him.

There are instances which is inevitable on which a man would be losing its job and turned out that the woman would really be taking up the responsibility but as a man then you shouldnt really be letting this thing to happen forever on which it would really be indeed questionable into man on not doing his responsibility knowing that a man should really be the one who would really be providing the needs of his family.
Somehow there would really be instances on which both husband and wife does have the job because they do really want to have that enough income to support their needs specially on raising up your children
on which we know that having a family isnt something a simple responsibility on which you could really be just that make yourself that easily go lucky. As a man then you should be doing the things
on what you must done in the first place.

When entering marriage then it would really be always best that you should come prepared as a man, not only on the day of wedding but also into the time that you are already having your kids
for you to raise on, on which this would really be that something will really be that hard for you to achieve out on the moment that you arent that financially prepared. This is why on the moment that it would
happen then this is where you would really be starting to have regrets on why you havent done it earlier.

Facing difficulties in this life is not only about thinking about how much burden we have to bear ourselves in life, but it all always depends on how much desire to keep trying and not give up with any conditions in life. Because the level of difficulty between people who already have families and people who are still single is actually very different so we should not judge all of them the same in this regard because people who are still single usually do not have more burdens in their lives except for just about eating and saving and investing to realize their own future.

While people who are married will of course always prioritize the needs of their own family rather than their own personal needs because they tend to think more broadly when they want to use money to get something they need even though sometimes it is not what they want personally. So, in terms of level of difficulty, we actually have to group them differently in their respective categories, between people who already have families and those who are still living as single.

Marriage is something that should be built on mutual affection and not in material things. It is when marriage is not that solid that would be affected by the current economy. Things seem to be getting worse and the government are not even doing anything to make life easier for the masses but we just have to keep trying our best to keep doing the right things without trying to go for the wrong path. Once the parent in the family could plan themselves and work on things than would keep being money to them in unity, then even though the economy is bad, things would get better with time.

Poor economic conditions can certainly prevent a young man from marrying. Because a man must be financially prepared for marriage so that he can properly support his wife after marriage. We have to remember that when we were in single or bachelor life we can't stay like that after marriage because after marriage comes a responsibility of our wife. And it is your duty to fulfill that responsibility properly as a husband and for this the need of money is mandatory. Without money, many families break up even create turmoil within the family or between husband and wife. Also, as you mentioned, no matter how good the relationship between husband and wife is, if there is no money, love goes out the window. :)

In our society, those who marry while unemployed are still looked down upon. And in this society there are still customs that one should get established first then think about marriage or inform the family about one's marriage.

I agree to that statement, a mutual affections that will helps both partners to find ways together so even how tough the economy might be as long as you are intact with your plans and you are together in facing that difficulty and challenges, it won't break that bond but instead it will solidify that partnerships.

There's always a way if you both willing to take the challenges and willing to sacrifies together, life will continue to move forward and willl keep you together as long as both are contented with how they plan things ahead.

In theory, happiness is built on the love two people have for each other, but in reality, love alone is not enough to sustain a marriage. That is why many couples love each other very passionately but when they get married they will quickly break up if they do not have a solid economic foundation. Not to mention if couples have small children, the pressure will increase many times over when they need more money to take care of life. Love cannot fill your hungry stomach or make you more beautiful but money can make you full, make you beautiful so the role of money is extremely important in marriage.

Are you married and have you ever gone through a period of no job and no money? I have been there and it is not easy to keep a happy family like what you are saying.

Married couples feel the financial squeeze. But is pouring money at the issue the fix? Not at all! We must develop, not only respond. It's about strategy, not only additional zero entries into your money account. Married or single, we have to be smarter than merely wealthier

This tsunami of crime? It is a symptom rather than the illness. It's a collapse of community and a failing leadership quality. Focusing urban against rural misses the very important subject. Not escape from the system; we must alter it. Although rural living could be a transient haven, it does not address fundamental problems. We have to recreate and design a society in which everyone has opportunity. Not only is packing and moving to the backwoods not the true solution

To be fair, inflation is at all time high in many nations, everyone in the past four years ended up with a lot of trouble, it is not really specified for just one nation. Sure some have higher than others, but everyone had higher than their own past, so that's a bad thing for everyone. Even Switzerland had some high inflation, which is 2-3% for them, nothing to us, but that's a lot for their own normal self.

We are not having hard time because of the inflation itself, we are having hard time because price of everything goes up, while our salary stays the same. I have been making the same money for years, I am doing fine because I make a lot, but even I am feeling it, everyone does, it's the common thing about inflation, it hurts everyone equally, even billionaires are pushed by shareholders to make more.

Actually it is quite difficult to understand this context, on the one hand marriage must be built on the basis of affection or love from people, but we also have to be realistic because there are many other factors that must also be considered, one of which is the economy. Apart from that, there must be mutual understanding from both people who build a household, both in difficult and happy circumstances, don't just want it when you are happy. But what I see now is that they only want to be happy, I will not forget those who are still loyal, there are also many, but it cannot be denied that the divorce rate due to the economy is also high. There must be awareness from both of them, they must realize that in life it will not always be happy and it will not always be difficult, the wheel of life will definitely turn, it's just that we have to try and work hard to achieve a stable life so that it does not affect the marriage.

This kind of thinking is sometimes considered as conventional and backward thinking for some people but for me this is a principle because after all when we already have a family (life partner and children) then it is certain that the responsibility as a man is in addition to providing a good living for our family, we also have a separate rule for the small family that we create and that is the role of men as the head of the family.

It does not mean that our spouses are restrained by these rules, it's just that to make a living from a financial point of view, the main focus remains on men as long as our spouses want to help then it's only as a sideline, not as the main thing they have to help because women's responsibilities are definitely home affairs and children dominate and we as heads of families must facilitate as best we can so that they (our wives and children) do not feel deprived in terms of the economy or in terms of attention.

A man's self-esteem lies in his responsibility as a man. A married woman is already yours and she is under your responsibility. Being responsible and providing for the family's needs is the duty of a true man. I remember there was a saying that a man's happiness is not in his wealth, but a man's happiness when he feels needed by his partner and can take good care of his partner. And I agree with that saying. When I work hard and am exhausted but I see my wife and child have no problems with their economy and life needs, that's where I feel proud as a man.

It is true that our responsibility as married men is to fulfill the needs of our wives and children, this proves that we have positive thoughts in ensuring the welfare of the family we build, this must be applied in family life so that harmony can be maintained.

I wish the OP would publicly mention the country he/she is chatting from because the cost of living varies significantly across different countries. Some first-world nations are taking substantial measures to lessen the impact on their citizens. In certain countries, marriage is generously rewarded, and having children comes with added benefits like paid maternity leave, free medical care, and government-provided child support for the first year. Unfortunately, many African countries suffer from poor leadership, and the consequences of this neglect are overwhelming.

I am fortunate that I still earn more than enough to supports my family, but I have seen many of my friends marriage collapsing because of economic struggle, and it's not like they aren't employed or they don't work hard, they both was employee but the husband got laid off because the company need to do some efficiency

.The one that suffering the most of this bad economics is the children and the next generation, they started with less nutritious food, and less facility and privilege, while the competition is getting more fierce everyday.

Everything has to be balanced and it is not easy to do that. The necessary and sufficient conditions for a lasting marriage are love and economic stability. If one of these two is lacking, one day the marriage will fall apart. The concepts of romantic love or a lasting marriage without money are no longer true in today's era, we should accept the reality and adapt to it. Or that may be true for college love, young love, but it is no longer true if we want to find lasting happiness.

My family's happiness has also been on the brink of collapse many times when the economy is difficult. Although my wife and I have never stopped loving each other, many things are more important than love when the economy is difficult.

When a person is single, if he has no knowledge of economic,he can survive and he can live happily without any pressure. But marriage person always see the rate of things because he have to face difficulties for his family. Government is exerting pressure on people and they are changing excess taxes on poor people,So people are protesting in my country. People have low income and more expenses and most of the money  of person is eaten by government. Government is playing game with crazy people and they are introducing the campaigns in which it is getting benefit but people are becoming more poorer. Mostly marriage person see price tags and single person doesn't see price tags

We all love money - it's all the naked truth. And nothing can be done about it. Unfortunately, for centuries the world has been built in such a way that one's power can be preserved and transferred in money. Without money there can be no holiday, and unfortunately without money there can be no love. I'm not even talking about the fact that a family really needs money.
Therefore, each of us needs to be responsible for our finances.

Singles might not have kids to feed, but that doesn't mean they can ignore their finances. It's survival of the fittest out there, financially speaking. Married is complex. All the sudden, every dollar counts. It goes beyond simply you these days. It is about ensuring the future of your family. That's real responsibility

People protesting taxes? That goes beyond money as well. It centers on a mechanism designed against them. The government will get reaction when it squeezes the small man. Personal budgets, government policy, they all have links. If you wish to play the game, you jave tp know its nature. Think for yourself; do not just follow the pack. Your decisions and money matter. Not only for yourself but also for everyone else being screwed by the system; stand up for what is right

i think our daily living cost is so high and now compare to develop or non develop countries, it's challenging to survive for both of countries people's, especially non develop countries peoples suffering too much, because their salary is very low, if who people are single they are somehow maintain their family but if married then it's very hard living, everything is so expensive.

Of course, bad economic conditions will affect marriage, especially early marriage. Because in general people who marry at an early age often experience economic problems and become a source of family disharmony. Many couples divorce due to financial failure. Because with economic problems can become serious problems such as domestic violence or others. Too young age and little experience will make it difficult to improve their economic conditions. Especially if the couple in early marriage immediately gets pregnant and has children. Needs are increasing while their abilities as parents do not change.

When you are single and you got decent job it will allow you to leave a much comfort life but if you are married even you've both got deent jobs there are things that you needed to considered and factors that will affects your finances, basic needs like foods, house loan/rent and other things that married people needs to address, and in addition to that, if they start growing their family by adding kids, it's going to affect them especially if you are having hard time budgeting what you both getting from your job.

And with what you brought about government taxes and those crazy things that they are adding in expense of those ordinay employee, that's added to certain burden that married people needs to address and be part of their daily budgetting.

Nowadays, finance is the factor that will determine who you are in society, that is what is happening but many people do not want to accept that naked truth.

I find it quite funny when some people say that love between couples or the sustainability of a marriage should be built on love, not on money or finances. I guess they haven't even known the taste of love or have a family yet so they don't know the pressures they will face.

Money probably can't buy happiness, it can't buy love because love based entirely on money can't last and can collapse at any time. But without money, we cannot have love and cannot keep our family happy.

It is undeniable that a person's economic condition will affect marriage. Marriage is financially expensive, especially if you choose the wrong partner, it will be economically ruined. And it is true as you said, many divorce cases also start with poor or unstable economic conditions.

I come from a Muslim-majority country and we do have problems with marriage, although I am not sure the scale is the same as other countries. I think the younger generation is more focused on education and career than the previous generation, both men and women, so people are delaying marriage as a result.

Plus, marriage here is also expensive and many women are too concerned with a lavish wedding party than actually getting married, and fewer men are willing to accept these requirements. It is true that not all women in my country are like this, but this has become a tradition so that the majority feel entitled to an expensive wedding party, and this is a factor for men to think about marriage because marriage is very expensive.

I agree with you and in furtherance to that, it is okay to say money rules over the comfort of life. Comfort and convenience is derived from money in today's life due to the way government and it's people have continued to give emphasis to money as a driver to our primary and secondary activities. As little as eating a meal to survive, one needs money and the value attached to money over the natural resources provided to us is unprecedented making it easy for everything to be driven by money.

Marriages are just one component of one's life decision and there are still many people who will have the money yet decide not to marry. Marriage is a thing of individual choice and decision. However, to marry you must be reasonably wealthy today unlike in the past that you do little to marry and have enough to feed your family with. Today it's a different ball game. Everything including the food commodities in the market have inflated higher than you can imagine making life unbearable to the less privileged.

Marriage isn’t something you jump into, you get to prepare yourself and be ready.

Every culture has bridal rights to be paid and most times, the family your marrying from kind of scale the groom based on how they go about these bridal rights payment. Most persons love to have it big you know, throw a big party and have it be the talk of the town for a little while. These are measured in cost.

Also, it’s a through life situation and as such, there are responsibilities to be met but for the kids you both love to have together and assistance to both families. If your lucky to have in-laws that are supportive, then good otherwise, you prepare for that too.

Now a bad economy throws it all in your face and responsibilities isn’t what you get to make excuses about. You just get to find a way to do them and so, if you ain’t ready for marriage, it’s always best you keep your cool.

He who findeth a wife findeth a good thing in the sight of God.. meaning anyone who got married today will not regret having doing so. But sincerely the country situation need to cry out to because things are getting choked every day due to inflation and high cost of living, it's all over not only our country but the entire globe and nothing seems to be done.
I don't regret getting married or neither did I regret becoming a wife because I know there are time for everything, and I know that is my time of getting married so, I have to channel myself to suits with it irrespective of the cost of living that is why we must not have only one source of living rather think of having multiple stream of income.

 Now it can be said that money can regulate life and be a form of comfort in the life of a person or local community, because the development of the era that demands everything related to the economic sector makes needs increasingly increase in the capacity of basic prices that are prone to being more expensive and when compared to a person's salary which is relatively low makes them burdened with the current economic situation.

 Developing countries seem to only be able to pay them at a standard rate and this actually also has an impact on the economy of a family and they are required by circumstances to manage their finances as much as possible, when compared to non-developing countries it seems they feel the economy they are experiencing is much more drastically difficult, with their very minimal wages it is difficult for them to meet their living needs.

That adds your location also affects your salary though there are online access where you can do services and be paid decently, but I see your point if you are located to a non-developed country and you are just earning minimum or lower than a regular employee that's really affects your married, considering that it's just you and your behalf wthout any child yet, different situation if there's kids that involve, money create comfort with a exact or less that can create issue with how a family will move forward.

I agree with you. I think we need to be realistic about how we view money. I can't imagine how people can say they can love without having money. To me that's just childish love. Adult love has a lot of issues to work through and that's life. When you're married, the ability to provide a decent place to live and food becomes important. And when you have children, education costs and future investments become part of your needs list. All of these things require money. We don't have to be rich to get married. We just have to have money and be grateful for what we have.

agreed, indeed marriage when viewed financially is certainly very expensive, therefore we must be smart in choosing a partner so as not to experience unwanted things such as a broken relationship due to an unstable economy. In addition, I am sure you yourself know that there have been many examples of family relationships that have been destroyed due to an unstable economy, maybe the head of the family has tried his best to improve his economic situation but with everyone who has different characteristics so there are people who have good patience and those who do not, therefore many families experience destruction maybe because they can no longer be patient.

It seems like you have experienced it yourself my friend, because I think you are very accurate in conveying it. Men who tend to be led to finance all wedding payments will certainly have difficulty if their circumstances are not so stable and there are also those who cancel their intentions not to get married when they find out the large amount that men have to try, even though it is considered to be the responsibility of the man but indeed there are not a few men who think hard about this.

South Korean's married and the birth rate is decreasing drastically. One of the major reasons is because high cost of living. Many of them do not want to get married because they are scared of the high cost of raising children. The government is even giving incentives to young people for them to get married, yet it has not increased the population. Young people are finding fulfilment in singlehood since they cannot bear the financial burden of getting married.    

Everything that is needed must be bought with money, likewise when getting married when we don't have money it is difficult to realize the planned dreams because it requires a lot of money, be grateful for those who have money because they can realize their dreams.
