If it's a naked marriage, my boyfriend and I will be half naked at most. But today's young people are all born after 80, and they are very concerned about material and feelings. That kind of naked marriage hardly exists. There are very few people who get married like us without a house or a car. " Wang Tong said that she and her boyfriend, both foreigners, fell in love in college, and they tried to stay in this city after graduation. She works as a teacher in a private school with a monthly income of 2,500 yuan, and her boyfriend works in a software company with a monthly income of 4,000 yuan.

Because the house was rented, I didn't buy very good home appliances, so I bought a new set of bedding, a microwave oven and a small washing machine. Choose the lowest price for banquets, the lowest price for wedding rentals and new clothes, and the diamond ring is not expensive. The only luxury is honeymoon. My boyfriend said that he must take me on a trip and give me a wedding without regrets, which is the only thing he can do at present. Even if it is a naked wedding, you must prepare at least 65,438+10,000 yuan for a small wedding. " Wang Tong said that in the past two years, she and her boyfriend had saved 30,000 yuan, and the remaining 70,000 yuan was collected by two old people.

Whether buying clothes, shoes and bags or choosing a wedding car hotel, we try our best to choose a moderately priced one, but this year's wedding banquet has increased a lot compared with last year, and it is estimated that it will cost more 1.5 million. My boyfriend and I are children of ordinary families. No matter how much money we save, we will get more than 1 10,000 yuan. Most of the expenses are spent on the wedding room.

Shi Kangning, director-general of China Wedding Industry Committee, said that a large number of post-80s have reached marriageable age, and China is entering a new peak of marriage and childbearing. After 80s, the demand for wedding consumption is no longer satisfied with simple food and clothing. They advocate personalized consumption, and at the same time as the wedding peak comes, the wedding consumption expenditure of each couple has also risen sharply. According to a market survey, most newlyweds will spend about 365,438+0% of their savings on weddings and related consumption. Careful wedding planning not only shows personality but also saves money. The cost of marriage is becoming more and more unbearable for ordinary income people. Some netizens said that after house slaves and child slaves, there are also a number of marriage slaves. So how should prospective newlyweds who are ready to get married handle their marriage accounts? Li Lan, a registered financial planner in Dalian, suggested that you need to manage your finances before getting married and holding a wedding. Except for the house price, we can't change it, and other expenses of marriage can be well saved. Such as wedding banquets, diamond rings, wedding photos, honeymoon trips, etc. In line with the principle of doing as many things as possible with the least money, when making various budgets, make a list of things to buy and then shop around. The same goods may have different prices in different places, for example, goods sold directly through online shopping malls may be cheaper than those bought in stores; You can also pay attention to the promotional activities done by shopping malls; You can also participate in group buying and reduce expenses. In addition to shopping around, there is another trick that can help newcomers save a lot of money, that is, do it yourself or ask friends for help. For example, wedding site planning, renting props, asking friends to help arrange and host, and taking photos and videos on the wedding day are equally lively, which not only saves etiquette expenses but also loses dignity.
