Chris Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 Was recently speaking with my Dad, and talking about certain planning opportunities for my income as that's his area of expertise, and one of the best ways to get out of paying tax at a higher rate is through marriage under certain conditions. Almost instantly after saying this he told me flat out, " Do not get married, your only making things harder for yourself long term " No my parents aren't split so I presume this is based on an unbiased insight made by him, was just wondering what you guys opinions are on this matter. I personally don't care at this moment in time, I don't see why some legal document is important to your overall happiness unless your marrying into wealth and plan betrayal. Thoughts?
Hex` Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 To me marriage is more than a 'legal document', it's a sign of commitment and love. Not a financial decision.
Steroids Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 lol marriage is for mugs. so insecure they need a legal document to make their partner stay faithfull. NOT THAT IT WOULD STOP ME ANYWAY HA
Lat Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 I don't really give two shits about marriage. If I end up wanting to spend the rest of my life with a woman and she wants to get married, I might do it. She'll probably have to sign that pre nup though.
Easy_mate Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 dont think i'd be up for dishing out £20,000 or w.e it is
Smush Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 If you think of marriage in financial terms, you're doomed to fail.
Jon Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 As long as my wife is working and making over 100k/yr then sounds good to me.
Silk Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 I heard there is more fail marriges then sucessful ones these days

Jonny Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 many people nowadays get devorced. If you love a girl, why not marry her? You gotta believe in love for life. My parents are devorced and the way it happened wasnt nice. But they had a nice time together. Maybe nowadays people arent ment to be together forever.

Jonny Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 Id laugh if ronnie and sammi got married youre almost longer an app than I was lol.. :D
Ollie Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Ya whats wrong with it lol If u both deeply love each other then why not make a massive deal out of it and have a great day & honeymoon afterwards :P People say it's 1 of the best days of their lives Although marrying for the pure sake of "Being Married" or for money issues.. don't rly agree with that I also disagree with people that complain about not being able to have civil partnerships in churches.. the fucking bible does not agree with same-sex marriages. People are stupid lol
Chris Posted April 28, 2013 Author Posted April 28, 2013 bumping good topic that i want more discussion on, my point stands
Rick Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 i've talked with some irl friends about this and it turned out most girls would want to marry and most of male friends didn't see any need of it, most girls just liked the idea of it, no further reasoning w/ tax or w/e you're thinking about

Ultama Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 I don't really see marriage as a career path or money related. Then again, I'm not really religious either so it makes me wonder what marriage truly means.
