This is true: More are getting married later or not at all.

Nowadays it is hard to find you or one of your friends getting married in their early 20s. Some say getting hitched early is something that they did not even think of because they still want to enjoy the good thing in life being a single person.
But some say they wanted to get marry early but haven't found the right person. True enough, to find love is a complicated thing, it is not like you can find your match easily.
Some factors why more are getting married later or not at all:
1. Career Minded - Getting a job, a high paying job. Getting a bach degree, masters or phd. That is highest priority. Marriage is never in the plan early.
2. Difficult to find the Mr/Mrs Right - This is something that I think everyone will agree.
3. High cost of marriage - I got a guy friend that was asked RM25K for a "hantaran" no discount and pay by the male only. That is excluding other expenses e.g food, photo, hall, decorations, transport, etc. I even heard RM30K++ is beginning to be a normal dowry if the bride is educated, work in govt. , pretty. Wow.
4. Family burden-people who got more of a responsibility to take care of their family financially is more likely to get married later or maybe not at all.
5. Simple- They don't want to get marry in their life. Never in their dream, and will never be.
Enough said, back to watching tv.
