How Young is to Young to Get Engaged?

IT is definitely not too young to get engaged. It is for a lot of people, but not generally, but because they are just stupid. If you feel that way, get engaged.

My personal advice would be to move together if your financial situation will allow it, get engaged and stay like that for a few months at least. This way you can explore all the perks of living with him and how is it to spend all the free time with him this way. If it holds up - theres no better proof for it being a good idea :).

Ok this is my take. I think you are caring too much about what other people think already because you don't understand why after 5 years you are just boyfriend and girlfriend and not labeled as more. You want to move out but cant afford it.

What type of pressure do you expect once your engaged financially? Typically once people are engaged they plan the wedding which costs more $$$. I don't think you are too young to be engaged but if you do it,it is only going to be more stressful because you will want to then take the next step of marriage and in result you will either have a court wedding, a cheap wedding, or people breathing down your throat about the big day because you lack $.

I would focus on moving out first save money for that and then think about engagement. Rings cost money and whether you care or don't about an expensive ring-you want one and moving out is top priority, Standing on your own two feet makes you feel good and look responsible. Therefore if you get engaged afterwards regardless of your age you are bieng responsible and there will be no negative feedback.

You are super young and if you get a 5 year plan together by 25 you will be married. It sounds like a long time but it isnt. I am 23 years old.

Have been with my guy for 4 years and we just got engaged oct 2011. Wedding isnt til march 2013 and thats because we are saving for it. We currently own a house, have a car payment, and a 2 year old daughter.

Money is tight saving for a wedding- Even now I get asked why we are waiting so long to marry and I simply say it costs money and I want it to be memorable. Don't get ancy and jump the gun-good things are worth waiting for. Plan your life and plan it responsibly-sit down and figure out how much you can save and what rent,utilities,etc will cost.

Figure out how long it will take to move out then move onto rings-how much you want to spend- then wedding plans and how big or small cheap or expensive you want it to be, stick to the plan and make it happen...good luck.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
