I think it was made clear earlier in this thread that this trend, if there is one, is among UMC and wealthy 20 somethings not gen z as a whole.

Rich and UMC only mingle with and marry each other, so the class stratification will intensify in the coming years. You're going to have 30-something wealthy married couples, with kids, and nice homes, while their 30-something low and middle class peers never marry, if they have a kid it'll be out of wedlock, and they'll never be able to afford a house.

This is actually happening as we speak, and yet the median marriage age keeps increasing for both men and women.

That's because the middle class is almost done being fully hollowed out.

Wow. Can you please apply your ability to see into the future to more consequential matters, now?

That’s probably the expectation for the fAmILy vALuEs types.

Cute conservative gals eager to have a husband, a McMansion and a baby in their mid 20s.

The hollowing out of the middle class and downward mobility for young lower born is not really an astute observation. Finishing college, marrying an ambitious spouse, and buying a home are all signals of upward mobility.

And are pushing the median age for marriage higher, not lower. Increasingly, that is who is getting married and the median ages are the highest they have ever been.

PP doesn't GAF about reality - either present day or the future. Her shiny RWNJ fantasy world is all laid out perfectly to support her narrative.

Ones I see marrying or committing, seem to expect best of both worlds with career and marriage.

DP here. I prefer my kids to marry young and have kids young. I don’t think there is a huge difference between getting married at 25 vs 30. 35 is already advanced maternal age.

I would have married my college boyfriend if he wasn’t such a prick. I met my husband when I was 24, got engaged at 27, married at 29 and had our first child at 30. We met in grad school and paid for everything ourselves. We come from humble beginnings. My family loved DH from day 1. If we were wealthy, I could see us getting married earlier instead of saving. Our bank account went to triple digits when we got married. I remember thinking we would not have enough to tip at our wedding. We started with nothing.

We will be able to pay for our kids college and grad school tuition, lavish wedding and gift the kids a house. They won’t have to save for a wedding or down payment or be burdened with student loans like DH and me.

It’s a little confusing…do kids marry young so they can buy a house to create wealth…or do they marry young because the parents are rich? in which case a house is fairly irrelevant

I assume you will buy your kid a house no matter when they marry…or even if they don’t marry at all, correct?

Parental help with a down payment or not, using two professional incomes to buy a nice residence and not blow money on rent is one benefit of marriage. Homeownership and real estate is the #1 way Americans save and build wealth.
