There are also people that manage to be independent and successful without the benefit of education. 
There are also people that are in both categories.  
The bottom line is when the right person comes into your life things click. 
And then--you can still end up divorced years later, because marriage is a lot of work. 
Practically anyone can get married, but not everyone can make it work and be happy.

Great post Kasha!

GuardianAngel wrote:@Kashathediva I can understand that. Now the dream of owning a home for first time home buyers is quickly evaporating, trying to save money for a down payment, the cost of a wedding, and everything else life throws at you, more and more are waiting to get married, wanting everything first.

That's why I always say, shill till your heart's content! If Lauren is going to work with Arie, she might get her r/e licence and they can both do very well if they work at it. Or she can shill, or go back to a sales executive, or model or all of the above. They can live a comfortable life just from shilling alone.

The opportunities this franchise brings are endless if they are smart about it as we have seen from past contestants.

I also think there's a big difference between an unmarried 30-something who's been in long-term relationships that simply didn't pan out, or is in a long-term relationship currently, just not married, and a 30-something who's mostly been casually dating people he didn't even consider "marriage material". JMOAA.

I think it could also be a regional thing. It could also be a matter of how much the person has in school loans. 
Neither of my brothers(doctors) had children until out of residency. That was a long time ago.  Even now on the east coast(NYC), many are not marrying until late 20's or 30's and having children easily into their 30's.  The mindset of those I know is they are so underwater with loans, they can't think of settling down until they have some kind of regular income.

I was devastated, but was encouraged by friends and family better now than later with children. He has a lovely g/friend dating for 3 yrs.

There are people like Arie, IMO who just didn't find the one and IMO it doesn't necessarily mean there is something wrong with people who aren't married in their 30's.

There are so many random pap pics out there where it's clear to me, he is in love and very happy and I'm a firm believer that every one deserves love regardless of their past. Love changes people, from a personal experience, I've seen it happen many times with others.
