Investing for our future together

You are so lucky to have a special someone who is so forward thinking. A home, especially a farm, is a great investment for a lifetime together. Be sure to back that up with plenty of insurance: medical, dental, eye, disability, life, home, auto. Also make sure you have a greenhouse, plenty of first aid supplies and go solar electric. Best wishes! :-)

It would really be nice if you start to prepare for your own future, it is indeed hard to start on your ow having nothing at all. I hope you and your boyfriend will become successful on that farm business of yours. I know it would be hard for starters but just have faith and do your best.

I am happy for you cgicale. That's a great idea and good gesture but always keep in mind that nothing's permanent other than change. It's better to have an agreement that if ever your relationship won't lead to marriage, there will be equal distribution of properties to both of you so you won't be left losing lot of money. We have to take a lot of things into consideration like saving for yourself and for your future. It's great to have savings for emergencies. I admire your maturity about being financially stable. Enjoy life while working hard.

Really great to hear this from you.It's not easy to invest money nowadays especially for young people.It's really nice to save something for our future because not all the time that we are in good health .Me and my partner haven't start investing but were thinking about the future.

Not a bad idea. It's kinna a hard these days to save some money for future. Glad for you. Other young people think to enjoy their lives and all the pleasures in the world when still young. For the house, family etc. there is time. You'll be submerged by these problems when married. Everything has its time.

Investing for your future together is a great thing. You just have to make sure that both of you would end up with eachother. As for me & my partner, we also talk about our future together & we have plans.

Planning for the future is a great thing! Just make sure you keep track of what you have put into everything just in case anything negative should ever happen. Best of luck with your investments!

Really nice to hear that you and your boyfriend started investment at this age itself. It's great to save something for your future life. That will really help you. Many people lack this ability to invest from their young age. And I have heard many financial experts saying to start invest from young early itself. Since I have not found my partner I have not started investing. I think it will not happen.... :p

This is a good thing to do. Getting married entails a lot of planning, and part of this is financially - investing in a business, a house, bank products. My wife and I also started pooling our money even before we got married. Yet, I don't want to sound pessimistic, but I would however suggest that you make some sort of exit plan in case the marriage don't push through. I have some friends who made joint investments with their fiancees, but when the marriage didn't push through, they had problems getting back the money.

I think that what you are doing together is really great. At least you see your future being together. Some relationships,even after being together for more than 5 years wouldn't even think of investing or even talk about marriage.

Wow, this idea was great, at the early stage of your relationship both of you had already established a good way for a better future. To be honest when my husband and i got married were not yet financially secure but with the knowledge and skills we have everything went fine and were doing better in our marriage life and as a business partner.

That's a good thing for young couples to do. I have seen lots of friends who plunge into the married life, then start having kids while they stay in their parents' house. All the ingredients for disaster.

Thank you for sharing this discussion.It is good idea to invest for the future when we are yonug.It not easy to get extra money for investment as a student.I take the pocket money from my parents.And I will never invest this money.I think what I should do is to study hard and let my parents to be proud of me.The investment in spirit is the best.life is harsh but we are born to strive and endure.wish you a bright future.

It is good that you are thinking of your future. Most couple who get married or who live together don't really think of their future together. You do have to plan if that business doesn't work out. Are you willing to stick together, even if your financial plans don't work out? It can not be guaranteed for anyone to be financially secure at any age. There are no guarantees in life. Especially in farming. So, a little realistic understanding is probably needed in your dreams together. Have you ever farmed before? Are you seeking good advise from other farmers? You have a lot to accomplish before you get married - a successful farm business plus build your own house. That is a lot to handle. What is more important than building your own house is building your own HOME.
