"I can't get married because I don't have money" ← This is complete sophism, isn't it? Look at the reality you guys lol
There are too many people in this world who lament that they can't get married because they don't have money. But is it really a matter of money? Even in the poor old days, everyone got married normally, so isn't it just that they don't have the will to live a life that suits their means? So, in order to put an end to this eternal debate, I have summarized the relentless opinions of the people in this thread.

I hear people say, ``I can't get married because I don't have money,'' so often that my ears get calluses, but this is completely sophistry.
In reality, they simply cannot afford to take care of others while maintaining their current standard of living.
If you lower your standard of living, you can easily get married.

<span style='color:red;'>That's it. I just can't give up my current luxurious lifestyle. </span>
Also, it's just my pride that ``I don't want to marry someone of a lower level than me'' that gets in the way.

Well, in this day and age, there are limits to what you can say to ``lower your standard of living.''
If both of you are working, you'll be stuck if you don't have a certain amount of savings when considering things like children's education expenses and retirement funds.
<span style='color:blue;'>Aren't you criticizing the current high prices and taxes too much? </span>

That's it. We are no longer in the era of ``just get married and get things done'' like in the past.
<span style='color:red;'> ``I don't have money'' = ``I don't have the minimum level to build an average family in Japan today'', right? </span>
To dismiss it as sophistry is too inconsiderate.

Well then, it's okay to be single for the rest of your life.
If you don't have money, just live modestly in a run-down apartment with a rent of 30,000 yen.
<span style='color:red;'>In the end, you just put aside your high hopes and run away with the words ``I don't have money.'' </span>

You guys are too extreme lol
Marriage means "joint management," so it's like trying to start a business with zero capital.
I'll be careful then.

After all, it's not that they don't have money, it's just <span style='color:red;'>``I'm not prepared to take on the burden of other people's lives for my own happiness''</span>, right?
The old man who said the money would come later won't take responsibility now.

The man runs away because he has no money.
Women run away because they don't have the ideal man.
This country will be destroyed.

In the end, this discussion is a dark side of the modern world, where the premise that ``marriage = happiness'' is crumbling. ``I don't have money'' may be an excuse that ``I don't see the benefit of taking this risk in getting married,'' rather than an economic fact.
Well, people who are happy even if they don't have money get married on their own, and people who complain whether they have money or not are complaining for the rest of their lives! What do you guys think? In the end, is it a matter of determination? Go crazy in the comments!
