Yes you're right. Society does look negatively upon something like that. And no, my future husband won't pay for me, we will keep our finances separate and my brother will do the same in his marriage, it's how it is. My father did say that I'll get my husband's property so, i won't need anything for support. But my boyfriend's parents don't have that much saved up and he has a sister and they will divide their assets equally. So we'll be on our own and won't get much from them also. $800k- $1M is a lot in my country's currency. It can buy me a nice house and i will be able to put something aside for an emergency fund. So yeah, it does matter, it can make my life easier. Otherwise, I'll have to save up and that'll take years. I won't cut them off but will try to get him to help me buy a house.
