Is Marriage as Scary as Gen Z Says?

In this digital era, many new trends and mindsets have emerged among young people, especially Gen Z. One prevalent way of thinking that has sparked conversation amongst this generation lately is the idea that marriage is scary.

More than just a point of discussion on social media, this phenomenon reflects a real concern felt by many members of the younger generation. They see marriage as a commitment full of responsibilities, financial burdens and significant lifestyle changes. But actually, marriage doesn't have to be that daunting if both parties are well-prepared.

Why do Gen Z feel that marriage is scary?

There are several reasons why Gen Z feels anxious about marriage:

Economic uncertainty

The rising cost of living, coupled with global economic uncertainty, has many young people worried about their future financial stability.

Financial responsibility

Many young people feel that marriage brings huge financial burdens, such as wedding expenses, house purchase, and children's education expenses. Finances when you're single are worrisome; how much more so when you're married?

Lifestyle changes

A long-term commitment means that both parties will experience major lifestyle changes. This can be daunting for those who are used to living independently.

So, how do we respond to this?

While these fears are valid, there are ways to overcome them. One of them is through careful financial planning. Saving and investing are habits that should be started early to prepare Gen Z to build a new life with a partner when the time comes.
