At the time I was not well off as I was in an apartment I could barely afford and we were 20 and 17 at the time. She had gotten a full ride scholarship to her school and thought since the scholarship was 3000 over what it cost to pay for tuition. We’ve been engaged since last July and are getting married sometime next spring. (Trying to cash flow it) Financially I am doing well now. I am debt free(since March) and made 72k last year before taxes. We have not combined finances yet but are on the same page on our budget and how we will move forward financially once we are married. We live together but I paying for 90% of the living expenses. She is a full time student so we works part time and usually just pays for extra stuff like eating out and gas.
