<prompt> Human: Hey all! This is my first post here so forgive if Im doing it wrong but heres my issuequestionsituation: My girlfriend and I are almost 2 years into our relationship and are about to go into our 3rd of our 4 years of our bachelor programs. We would like to be engaged and getting married withinaround graduation. I plan to go do a year long MBA program while she takes a gap year and works. We will both then go into Seminary for our roughly 3 year long M.Div programs together. The cost of any of our schooling wont be an issue. How do you just up and get married young and still make it financially viable? Theres costs like becoming entirely financially independent of our parents so that means full living costs. Any and all comments and answers will be appreciated!Assistant: Whats the motive or benefit to up and marrying young? People change a lot in their 20s.Human: For me its about building my life with the person Id like to spend my life with as opposed to building my life on my own then having to fit someone else in after the fact  <response>: You dont need to be married to start building your life with someone. I assume that living together before marriage is off of the table, but if you could both go out and live on your own aka out of your parents houses and no longer depending on them financially for a year or two, youll both learn a lot about yourselves and each other that you might not be able to under your parents roofs or when youre already cohabitating.
