  • In principle, I also don’t have an issue with marriages of convenience as long as everyone involved is upfront about their intentions. I just don’t think it’s wise to be financially dependent on another person if it can be avoided, for your own security. You need to think about what will happen if your partner starts imposing conditions on you that you don’t like, becomes abusive, cheats, wants to divorce you. I am not saying this is guaranteed to happen to you, but that it’s good to be prepared for any outcome. No one thinks it will happen to them until it does. The longer you stay out of the workplace, the harder it will be to find work if your marriage doesn’t go as planned - both because of age and lack of experience.










  • I ask myself: can I afford it? Do I already have something similar? Do I see myself using it often? That last question is where you need to be honest with yourself, because it’s easy to find yourself neglecting a new purchase after the initial excitement wears off.

    Depending on what the item is, you can sample or borrow/rent it to see if it sticks. You can also set a “waiting period” for yourself, and buy it if you still want it after that period ends. Sometimes the craving passes by then.

    You have to find pleasures in life too, so if you can fit it into your budget and think you will get good use out of it, why not get it?

    You have a nice day/night too!
