Really??? Are you serious? Getting married isn't a financial transaction.....
Tell that to the judge, when you try to dissolve one.
Historically, in nearly all cultures, marriage as a civil fact arose as a financial transaction. The purpose of marriage was to assure the disposition of the wealth of the respective families and the inheritance thereof. It was rare to marry across economic lines.
Where there are still arranged marriages, the "arrangement" is to conjoin the wealth of the two families through the marriage of their offspring.
I'm guessing that the OP is originally from India or another country where arranged marriages are more common. I think our citizens would be better if they asked some of those same questions before getting married or having children.
I don't have any good numbers for you. I had to laugh. My brother got married five years ago. The only expense change he commented on was toilet paper. He couldn't believe how much his toilet paper usage went up when he had a female living in the house.
I think you need to look at how long you want to live in Little Rock and see if it really is to your advantage to buy a house there. If you think you might want to move to the Northeast, it may be your advantage to rent for a few more years so you are more easily able to pack up and leave. Your future wife also might to be a part of the process of picking out the house.

Tell your brother to get spray Videt. around 40 bucks at amazon. Since then, me & my wife haven't bought toilet paper for last 6 years.
I have a feeling the OP will stay single for a very long time. Good luck with all your cash and no one to share your wealth with.
what makes you think that?
If anything... I'm saying Im willing to split my income with my future wife to cover any of her needs so we can be together due to our immigration status, current job situation etc. Not sure you got my point but thats kind of a douche thing to say.
I guess I am different,married now for 58 years and money between wife and I has always been one pot.We do not question what one spends or wants.Neither has taken advantage.We will discuss situations if needed.
We are from the old school!!
We have always been good friends.

This is what I'd like to have one day... just one pot. The way I see it is... if you don't trust your partner with money and responsible spending, then maybe you should reevaluate who you want to be with.
