Money help: I’m getting married in 5 months.

I’m getting married in 5 months.

My fiance and I had planned to rent an house with some of his friends after we get married, so we can save a little money before we try to buy a house. At lunch today, his friend apparently talked him into skipping renting and just buying a house. No, his friends wouldn’t buy the house, he and I would buy the house and they would live with us. Not only that, but my fiance wants us to live at his mother’s until we have saved enough money to buy. We’re very broke, trying to pay for a wedding, I’ve just graduated college, and there is NO WAY we can buy a house within a year. I cant live in his mother’s attic for a year! What was wrong with our previous plan, and what the heck am I supposed to do now??

Wait two more years to get married?

Sounds like you guys are going to spend money you don’t have and are going to start your married life in debt. You don’t want that.

Wait to get married until you guys can actually go on your own with no help from anybody.

We have money to live on now, and will easily be able to afford renting. Buying requires downpayments and excellent credit….

Then rent on your own by yourselves. Once you have people living with you, you will never have privacy.

But if you can qualify for the loan you can charge his friends to live there and they will be helping you buy a house… don’t rent. Pay rent to yourself and get others to help as you build equity in a home of your own. Is there any rich relative or any way you can come up with a down payment?

Postpone the wedding! Do Not get married yet!?How long you been together? Love isn’t enough. Don’t get me wrong, it’s great, just not enough. How selfish is the guy? Does he go out of his way to do things for YOU? Rent, save $$ for the downpayment, know & understand each other better, then decide. There’s no time limit on being a fiance(e). And being one doesn’t mean you’ve signed a contract stating you will definately marry the person….please choose wisely with your gut, because your heart will only choose one path, which leads directly to marriage.
