Marriage Costs 55 Million Won

        A diligent saver and thrifty spender, 28-year-old Suh Jee-ai has put away at least 500,000 won ($400) per month for the past three years toward her wedding fund. She has a little over 20 million won in savings now, but there's still a long way to go before she hears wedding bells.

  “I think I now have barely enough to cover the wedding ceremony,” said the salaried worker, who makes about 2.5 million won a month.

  She estimates the ceremony alone will cost 25 million won, plus another 25 to 30 million won for furniture to fill the new home, gifts for her in-laws and the honeymoon. Suh, who now has a boyfriend of one year, may come off as being extravagant, but she isn't by today's standards.

  The latest survey asking single men and women for their wedding budget showed Wednesday that the average amount needed to tie the knot is 55 million won. And respondents answered that it would take at least three years and 11 months to save up.

  In online recruiter Career's poll of 648 working professionals who've worked for less than three years, women felt less pressure than men as far as paying for the milestone event.

  Men said they expect to need 83 million won, which is 3.6 times more than the 22 million won that women plan to spend.

  The imbalance is natural, as men traditionally provide the house in Korea, while women are responsible for buying the furniture and appliances.

  While men may not have enough money to purchase a fully paid-off home, an overwhelming majority of 81 percent of both men and women said they would begin with at least a "Jeonse" apartment.

  Jeonse is a unique system here through which tenants pay a lump-sum deposit for a long-term lease, instead of monthly rent.

  If short on cash, more than half of respondents (51 percent) said they plan to get loans, while 48.7 percent said they would lower spending instead.

Question

1. What are the reasons in high cost of marriage?

2. How are you preparing for your marriage, financially and spiritually?

3. Let's talk about your ideal wedding. It can be anything!

  ( Ex : Where do you want to get married and how?

         Are you wiling to get married without money? )

47% of women want to work till retirement

Nearly half of working women want to keep their jobs even when they get older, a survey showed yesterday.

According to Job Korea, an online employment consulting firm, 46.5 percent of 2,108 women respondents said that they want to work as long as they can, regardless of age.

Only 1.2 percent of respondents said they would quit jobs right after they got married and 7.8 percent when they had children. More than 16 percent said they would retire in their 60s, the survey said. Women working for the production sector or on human resources teams had relatively stronger will to work until their retirement, Job Korea said.

Men had similar thoughts on women working.

Nearly 34 percent of 315 male respondents said women could work regardless of their age.

Questions 

1. Why do many women want to continue working after marriage?

2. Do you want to have a dual income after you're get married? Why?

3. (If you are two-paycheck couple,)

   how are you going to share your housework?

   who is suitable to take care of door-key child?

4. When is the most appropriate retirement time?

5. What do you want to do after retirement?
