live a rich and meaningful life now, while building a plan for financial freedom in 10 years or less.

My name is Josh Rachites, I am your host, and on today's

podcast I want to encourage you that if you want to marry, don't quote-unquote

wait until you can afford it.

It is my observation that there are many young men and women

who want to marry.

And yet when you ask them why they are not married, they quickly say, well, we're waiting until we can afford it.

And in today's podcast, I want to challenge that concept head marriage candidate I want to talk about what

specifically it means I want to share with you some ideas and some arguments that I hope

will impact you and that if you found a great candidate, I want to encourage you to move quickly to marriage and not wait until you can afford it.

Now simultaneously I am also going to talk about the impact of money on marriage and what our considerations should be because there are some people

who probably should wait until they can afford it and those people need to understand what is necessary in order for them to marry.

But oftentimes in today's world this excuse of, well, we're going to marry someday,

but we're waiting until we can afford it, is something that is robbing

young men and women of some of the most important years of their married life, and in some cases

it's a death knell for someone's long-term ability to marry.

Now I understand that this particular topic, the topic of marriage, is a highly charged one in our changing culture, where the cultural mores of your have changed our

connection to traditionalism has changed and we're not quite sure what the

future holds but pretty much it's anything goes And so I don't expect this to be an easy

conversation but I think it's an important one. At its core the message that I

want to convey to you today is simply this.
