When its in your hands, its easier to know when to get married, especially when you and your partner understand each other and can easily talk about things. For example in my case im 28yrs old and many think that I have left marriage really late, yes I have a bit, but me and my fiance knew that we need to financially stable then get married to have a tension free married life.

When living with parents its easier to save up and therefore we decided that we wanted to purchase a house before getting married, and when now into the process of choosing a suitable house. At least we wont have any tension of our own home, savings and settling down when we get married and can start family planning and all.

Whats your take on this?

I think it is very wise of you to save up and be able to buy a house when you start a new life together. Many people have to rent or even stay with in-laws for a while, before they can afford their own home, and it can be very difficult. You will have a great start having a place of your own.

Sharan is the best decision to make, its basically 80% of your worries gone. And like you said your 28yrs old, but think of it this way you will be in your own home married, and can plan for family whenever you want without any financial settling down or problems.

Many people leave planning because of financial problems! You should be proud of what you and your fiance have done.

Congratulations for having that kind of attitude and self discipline. I hope your relationship continues to grow stronger and better.

I know of a young couple whose parents pitched in and helped them to purchase a home when they'd gotten married. That is a great help, but you and your husband can be far more proud of your achievements because you have done it yourself, without anyone's help!

Well done Sharan, you have made an important step before marriage and in the long run it will help you a lot. You would think back and say that your happy that both of you brought a house a long time ago. And the best thing you done it together by yourselves! You should be proud of yourselves.
