Usually when you think of things like a marriage it would mean celebrating a couple\u2019s love for one another as they venture into life together. So it was surprising reading this article that talked about how a person believed that he was ready to get married but what was stopping him was the fact that he didn\u2019t feel he could afford it financially.<\/p>\n

In one end I guess it is true as weddings can easily surpass $10,000 as an example to the point where people are making the choice to say invest that in a home or a celebration for a day. At the same time aren\u2019t there different kinds of weddings and marriage celebrations to the point where it\u2019s more about the person themselves are using it as a status symbol per se?<\/p>\n

For example there are people that literally just get married with a simple wedding band at their house. That\u2019s it as they decided that they would rather not spend so much money on the wedding itself. So in that sense I wouldn\u2019t see it as something that is accessible to the rich only. To me this article feels more like it\u2019s people feeling the social pressure to buy things that they can\u2019t afford to give the perception of wealth and success.<\/p>\n

I think that\u2019s important to think about as the need to impress people with expensive things that one cannot afford is usually the culprit to creating debt. Doesn\u2019t matter if it is dining out at expensive restaurants or in this case spending thousands on a lavish wedding that you can\u2019t really afford. To me personally recognizing that it\u2019s more about impressing others is actually an important mindset to have in terms of actually getting the things you need without out going into debt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
