If you are a person who is still not well settled, not financially stable, please try not to get carried away by your surroundings with your friends settling down with their sweethearts, having kids and all. Let's say you indulge yourself and get hitched without financial stability, go with the flow, get pushed by your relatives into marriage, remember: a couple of years down the line you will have a kid or kids. You will be attending get togethers with the friends who inspired you to get married and have kids, but now, even though you are accepted fondly by your childhood friends into the party despite the financial/social mismatch, your kids will be disheartened, sad and jealous of the other kids whose parents, i.e your financially stable friends, were able to send them to a fancy school, buy them fancy toys, maybe take them to a trip abroad. You will fit in, because your friends love you, but just because your friends love you, doesn't mean that their kids will definitely love your kids. You might not care about social status and rightly so, but remember, your kids will be affected and they will ask you one day: Dad/Mom, why can't I have that same toy your friend's kid has?
