Ogod, same here. same age. It's a quarter-life crisis!!!

He wants a house, he wants a fat diamond ring on me, a nice wedding dress, a honeymoon in the tropics in our own island! [lol]. good prenatal care/ healthcare, stable career to send our kids off for good education etc... he wants to look back and say that we did things the right way...

But is he thinking ahead? Or is he stalling?

Marriage is a passage, it says I belong, it says there's commitment, and how can we know things are going to be stable in this kind of economy!!!...People are getting married left and right, I mean the world is going to end soon isn't it?!

...but marrying now with no good job/career/house/money makes us look... desperate, just for the title of "Married". that's the kind of thought I keep going back and forth on.

I'm in your shoes, stranger...
