<prompt> Human: My girlfriend and I are making our way through college right now, constantly theorizing our future together. We are certain well have solid careers in the next 4-5 years. But its pretty unclear whats the best course of action when we finally get jobs... Get a house before or after marriage? Travel as much as possible? Work hard for a decade, then travel? We have a couple ideas about which direction to head but would love to hear from peoplecouples who have been through this transition from college to the real world. Our end goal is to travel as much as possible but without breaking the bank. Edit: Im majoring in International Business and Logistics. My gf is majoring in Mechanical Engineering. Both of our colleges require multiple internships. Also, I didnt ask for relationship advice, just looking for financial insight.  <response>: Go to the gym and work out. Invest in your 401k and Roth Ira. Keep in touch with your friends and family. Learn how to love yourself and accept yourself for who you are.
