| River gave excellent inframotion.As for me, personally, nothing changed financially when we got married. I was already on my own paying rent and paying, we already had our own health insurance (we actually saved because now I am just on his insurance, Army Tricare), we already had great jobs with great incomes, we already had a joint checking account, etc. So, for us, not much at all changed. In fact, getting married was a smart move for us financially, since he is in the Army, and he gets more BAH money from the Army while married. Anyway, what River left out is that your credit scores will be combined. You and your boyfriend need to look into credit checks ASAP. It is one of the most important things you can do. I did this after the wedding rather than before, and we discovered several issues that were bringing down his credit. Just incorrect things that were weighing down his credit score. We got them fixed ASAP, so you guys might want to look into that also.A tip for being successful financially: never buy something you can't pay for with cash, end of story. Keep a credit card for emergencies, keep a low $50 balance on it to build credit history, but don't buy what you can't afford. My husband and I are a young couple too (both 22), but we are very fortunate financially, and we know that trick, whereas other people are age rack up insane amounts of credit card debt. Hope that helps. |
