Horse crap. It’s the “free milk”.
Sounds like it's less about debt than the love of money.
Can’t get married, or can’t throw “like” the biggest wedding eva!!
Let’s ask some basic questions
Why are many Americans in such debt?
And, what enables so much debt? Shouldn’t bankers (or now, government) be worried about getting paid back?
Of those who can’t afford it, how many are convinced that a wedding needs to be a $20,000+ production in order to be valid?
too many women come with six-figure student loan debt, makes them unmarriageable
Get married at the courthouse.
This is ridiculous. Are they saying “marriage” when they really mean “a super fancy party in a choice location with 300 of my closest friends from Facebook”? Because I can see how that might be price prohibited.
But if you just want to get married, you can do it for almost no money at all.
What I’ve noticed is just how weddings have become that so extravagantly expensive. And for 20 and 30 something women nowadays, apparently it is not just the wedding itself that is this big event (because it is a given that the father is supposed to pay for everything for that affair), but even the bachelorette party is supposed to be just as big (if not bigger) with these women going to Hawaii or the Caribbean or Las Vegas and partying among themselves.
I’ve always thought that marriage was a luxury that I couldn’t afford. that’s not actually a wise way to look at it. However, in order to have a wise attitude its also important to find a wise woman. When I was young I didn’t think with my brains.
We spent $500 for our full wedding. Dress, flowers, Preacher, 2 deli trays, Tea, Coffee, and a sheet cake from Walmart. Included paying the lady who set it up in the church lunch hall. He already had a nice expensive suit from teaching committees along with shoes. Rings were on sale half price..
Who says a wedding has to be expensive? All you need is a license and a JP or preacher.
What a pack of lies. Marriage allows expenses to be shared and usually results in lower tax rates. Nobody’s pre-marriage debts will change solely because of marriage. Children will add to expenses, but children without marriage will cost even more.

Bullshit
Girls give it away and don’t want husbands
They want validation beyond being moms
Guys are running on one third the testosterone I’ve got
They don’t care about poontang like we did and do
And there are other reasons
Middle and upper middle marry more now cause they have family and societal pressure
Same reason the women in those groups are less fat
We have truly collapsed
Stop signing up for untenable debt and you’ll be fine.
Idjits have it backwards...
Find a reliable partner that will hold up there end. Spend your nights in, save the combined incomes as much as you can and live below your means for a few years.
A marriage is a way of ACCUMULATING wealth...unless you choose poorly. I fortunately chose rather well, although I didn’t know HOW GOOD I chose at the time.
Only wealthy can aford a divorce
our society has been diminished greatly by the flyover relationships.....
I made money on my wedding. Gifts from friends and family were higher than expenses. I wasn’t planning on making money, it just worked out that way. Then we were able to buy really nice towels, sheets, pillows, a bed, along with the other gifts. It isn’t hard to do.
