I laugh at the cheapo westerners on this site. Getting married? Yea just a piece of paper. No big deal. Why waste so much money? LOL
These attitudes really show why they are single, divorced or soon to be divorced. |
Are you going to cash out your retirement fund to buy the jewelry set w/rolex watches for your future inlaws?LOL |
So what's your category? Can't get a girlfriend? Can't keep a girlfriend? Gay? Divorced or soon to be divorced? |
Nice little slice of homophobia there. Stick gay in with other insults and hope no-one calls you on it. |
Ok, so I can put you in the gay category. |
If you like. But you'd be wrong. Whereas everyone can now see you fall in the big mouthed homophobe category. |

The above poster seems to be confused as to why Korean men are so stressed about "wedding" costs.
"Getting married" and having a wedding mean very different things for Westerners and Koreans.
To a Korean, getting married means several things that are separate in the minds of Westerners, only one of those being the wedding ceremony. The main cost to them is the cost of buying a house or plopping down Jeonse. The second biggest cost is furnishing the entire house. The wedding is only the third largest cost. So this is why young Korean men of my age complain about the cost of getting married--because houses are not bought as an investment decision, they are bought irrespective of the current market prices or any financial considerations. Wedding? Have to get jeonse.
Also, it is completely intertwined into the minds of most Koreans that a baby will arrive 9 months after the wedding, so there are those costs as well. |
You left out the new car. |
A good used car for 4 or 5 million won is all you need. Many of them are in good shape with low km's. Let others be broke and heavily indebted with their status intact. Ha ha ha..... |
