My family is poor and I will get married next year. I went out to earn money and get married myself. If I had more money to get married, I wouldn't look down on my partner. I don't ask for a penny from home, because it's my parents' hard-earned money, which is used to support the elderly. I also want to save face, so when I'm having a date, I'll make it clear to my current date whether it's acceptable or not, and we're discussing whether to have a date. It's different now. It's good.
Believe in yourself and your partner's ability to do it. Money is saved bit by bit.
