Today's generation runs after career and money. Money has been given prime importance in everyone's life. This has put marriage plans on the back-burner. What do you think on this? When are you planning to get married?

I think i a one of those people who will be running after my career and along with my career money. I will not be putting marriage on the back burner but will be focusing more on my career. I plan to focus on marriage after i finish years of studies and internships and after i have my career on track i will focus on marriage. I would like a husband to be the same as well. good-paying job, same thought as i

i got married when i was 22, and when i was still single, i was planning that i should get married when im 25-27 years old. and as of now, our marriage is still intact though there are lots of ups and downs.

i couldn't agree more. indeed today's generation is a whole lot different and i'm included in that generation. there's one thing in my mind that i'm thinking which could be the factor of why today's generation is into their career & saving money, this is because of our economy. with the increase of price of every commodities, costly education, gas increase, etc etc.. who would still dare to think of spending money for marriage?
well for me that would be the case and for some of my cousins...
my eldest cousin got married at the age of 40 & before marrying she 1st pursued on her career. another cousin of mine is still single at 31. her sister on the other hand married at age of 29 (all of these are women) & 1 male cousin who's not yet married at 29.
this made me think is this related to my family tree? lol. but then we all arei n the same generation which is still one point to this discussion.
i may not know their reasons of not marrying but all of us are into our careers.
so there you go! my answer: marriage plans is one back-burner in my life. why? going back, it's because of our economy. financial reasons are mainly one answer. why? imagine how much it'll cost me to get married -- with all the preparations blahblahblah (of course as a women i don't want a trashy marriage & others think of this as well.) aside for the marriage, when it comes to family -- think of all the money you'll be spending with the house & everything in it, kids! oh my. imagine again financial needs from 9 months of pregnancy (doctor fees, milk, vaccination, dress, etc) to the schooling of your kids & thel ist goes on & on & on..
with all of these if your not financially ready, then what will become of your married life? that's why we turn to our careers more as this will be the backbone of everything.
me? i'm now turning 26, still single & no plans of marrying... yet. not until.. probably 5 years from now.
