if my courtship succeeds, i might have a marriage proposal in the bag. Should i be saving money for marriage (in 1-2 years) or should i be trying to pay off my student loan in lump sums?
students loans, the tax benefits from getting married are not comparable to the credit benefit from paid students loan
Definitely take care of your student loans first. Plus when they're paid off your proposal will have a higher chsnce of suceeding since you'll seem more reliable
You can put off getting married until you're financially stable. I can't think of a single advantage to getting married vs. paying off your debt earlier.
I'm guessing you're American if you're talking about student loans. If you're a woman, then find a rich man to marry and have him pay. If you're a man...find a rich man to marry and have him pay.
Marriage. Its unknown when you will have the opportunity again. you can pay loan slowly later. but then again, it best if you dont have any debt hanging around.
Student loans, or they will haunt you for the rest of your life. See if your parents would be willing to help out with the wedding instead
obviously student loan I mean lol marriage is a horrible idea why get the government involved in your relationship in the first place. There is no upside to marriage only countless downsides and well as someone else mentioned before seeing as half of all marriages end in divorce you might be screwed over by divorce court later if you get married. So ultimately marriage is in itself a bad idea. Don't even think about marriage untill she starts to hint at it.
A stable career and a stable professional life is very important and paying your student loans is an important part of it. After you have a stable life you can get all them b1tches(not literally but you get my point)
Quite literally, people seem only to get married for a short while then divorce shortly afterwards now a days. Guess people don't like the company of their (temporary) significant other all that much.
Wise words never haste In a marriage and if possible never sign any type of paper while marrying and if you are signing it , it better be about in case of divorce you won't have to pay alimony or any monetary compensations , get that out.of the way before the marriage , if she loves you she will agree with it.
Maybe don’t take financial advice about significant life decisions from strangers over the internet...
Marriage might lead to babies. Babies are an expensive drain on your future finances. Take care of your loans now before you're weighed down with other adult responsibilities.
Student loan first. Nobody wants to marry a guy in debt. If you get married first, you will be buried in deep shit for having a student loan debt while providing for your spouse, paying bills and unluckily getting your wife pregnant early. Hospital bills and medicine bills isnt a joke. Not to mention your rent, food and daily necessities for work.
I suggest the student loans first. Marriage takes time and money, but you can always wait and put it to the side before you decide you really want to do it. Student loans on the other hand, are always there.
student loans, Since that will stick with you for life. marriage is a variable and the cost of having one is also a variable so pay the one with solid numbers that you can actually see first. sign a prenup, it goes both ways!!
