Dating
Whoever says “let’s go out” pays. Isn’t this simple? But I do feel the other person should offer to chip in. It’s courtesy I think.

If someone invites you out, wait for them to order first. Then stay within their range as per cost. Don’t aim to outdo them.

Don’t go out if you don’t have anything in your pocket. Find a way to avoid it. What if their card doesn’t work? It would be mighty awkward.

With going out, don’t eat for free what you can’t pay for. You should always have reciprocity in mind. That’s how to be respectable.

Wedding
The average budget for weddings these days I’m told is between 8-12M. Achuuuu!

As per wedding cost, we all seem to demonstrate common sense, until it’s our turn that is. Caution escapes and we break the bank.

Even couples with shaky finances do not opt for a simple “ceremony.” They want a hall, decor, musical band, catering of assorted dishes. Toh

If we can’t demonstrate independence in wedding finances how independent is the home we are building?

Marriage
Conversations around finances for couples are awkward because maybe the man has exaggerated his income during dating.

If the woman you’re marrying doesn’t know how much you’re earning, what exactly does she know about you?

Do you agree with him?
