Eversince i was a kid all i wanted is to have my own simple and happy family. I always thought that gettimg married and have your family is just a very simple thing to do. Now that iam older and i still want to get married and have my own children. But i realize that it is no that simple. Getting married comes with big responsiblities with it. Most of my friends are married recently. And i came to realize that you will not only need to be emotionaly ready, but also financially and spiritually ready. I do have thoughts but i know iam exited to brcome a wife and a mom. Iam excited to start painting my married life.

It is a financial responsibility, that's for sure. When you are single, you may live with old broken-down furniture and eat take out every day. However once you are married you are going to want a nicer place to live, with nicer things! Plus, since there are 2 people involved (plus kids to come) you need to have more of a savings plan than you may have had when you are single.
However, no need to stress about it. Just think of it this way - everyone does it! If your friends can handle it, so can you :) Just plan ahead and everything will work out.

I honestly don't know what these massive responsibilites everyone always talks about marriage. Can someone please explain this to me? I don't understand what you mean by "financially ready", either.
As far as "starting a family"? No. It's not for me. Never has been, never will be.
