Re: Which thing 1st for marriage??

I think some couples do really quarrel and get upset with each other in midst of preparation for marriage...often over $$ problems.. Come to think of it, it's best to spend within limits and 1 bro here actually mentioned gg JB for photoshoot. Hehe, I actually have frends doing that, can save, save lor...

Re: Which thing 1st for marriage??
i think the most impt thing is to rom first........have a proper proposal to ur gf aka future wife........get down on ur knees kind of ting........sign the papers and then go for a house...........
veri often we guys keep thinking hdb first then becos need to give wedding papers in six mths then quick quick get married........ so meaningless like get married cos of house....should be other way mah

Re: Which thing 1st for marriage??
Bro yellow
I agree too, but in sillypore when the good mature estate comes out for sale, then its hard to get liao leh.. somemore its hdb offering. cheaper than the retail market by close to 100K leh. The hse i get from Toa payoh... resale here is 350K and upwards. I got my new HDB flat there almost 70K down. ok lah. so to speak. Anyway in SG get married Money is a must loh. the more the better. I only worry is for new couples who are going to get married and when thot everything plann nice nice, last min. bomb from either your own mum or mum-in-law. i.e. "Can we put up another XX nos. of tables?'

Re: Which thing 1st for marriage??
imho i think nowadays youngster don want to hold banquet and etc .. is really waste of $
but there are cases that couple do earn some $ out of the banquet tat becos u invited the correct pple who gives u big angbao. a table at a 5* hotel will cost at least min of $700++ so u can go and do the calculation. my take will be ROM, a small buffet to invite some close buddies at a yacht club + honeymoon , apply for flat and rent 2 rooms out to generate income (b4 a child), work hard and save enough before having a baby. and also invest for your retirement

Re: Which thing 1st for marriage??
talk abt retirement, sg pals often work v hard but clueless. only wan money in bank accts. scared to invest. I work in finance so I know one thing or two. All rich ppl invest, either in their own businesses or in shares and stuff.
After paying for wedding, they pay for housing. After housing, they pay for new car, then for babies, then for children's edn, then for old folks medical bills, then ouch, they reach retirement. And CPF not enough to reach minimum withdrawal sum. Marriage is a lifelong thing. Not a one time event. So don't get fooled by wedding planners who tell you "yi shen yi ci, yao long zong yi dian".(once in a lifetime, need to be grand). Always work within means, and let your spouse agree with you. Else one hand you can't clap.

Re: Which thing 1st for marriage??
Agree with you Madix. One has to be careful with finances as marriage is a costly affair and there is no need to make it even more expensive.
Instead of spending the money on a lavish wedding dinner, photo shoot, honeymoon, etc... I think the money will be better spent by saving it up for your parents/ in laws for their retirement or your unborn baby if you plan to have one. I know of a number of young couples being put in a tight corner because of the investment they had made in their wedding. If housing is an issue, young couples can consider renting a room first or staying with in laws or parents. One may not realise it, the amount of money paid for the flat/ house plus interest over a 10 year or longer period is a lot of money. That's why couples find that they don't have enough savings during their retirement, though the monthly compulsory CPF contributions seem quite large. I hope less or no couples need to go through the financial strain of getting married. Quote:

Re: Which thing 1st for marriage??
I'm intending to settle down wif my so ard next yr too.
1st is of coz the house, He said wanna get a hse near my parent so dat i can drop by anytime BUT i insist on getting one near his parent coz my parent got my bro & sil to take care of. While his parent leave only him coz his bro are not in sg... GOin bk to my parent's hse is veri near... drove less den 30min will reach... After discussing wif my parent, we intend to get one near his parent. Follow by the dinner.... In fact both of us don't wan any dinner... maybe a recpt or a garden party BUT u noe.. elder ppl like to let the whole clan & their frdsz noe... so we gave in to having simple dinner with just closed relatives and friends... Follow by foto shoot... to me... i won't wan an expensive package with lotsa of photo taken. Cause in the end, it only end up in the storeroom. Rather save the $$$ 1st. Maybe next time when have kids and took another one wif my kids...
