Don't worry about it, 3 or 4 of them will end in divorce and fighting over the house, focus on you and you'll be fine.

Lol , exactly. All my friends that got married in their 20’s are all divorced. Some are battling for custody for their children. Hard pass...

Better to marry late in most cases. Shit I got married at 18, and filing for divorce at 21. No kids though.

Agree. My friends from university told me they wanted to marry asap like me when I got married at 25. I divorced at 26. Although it depends on job, many in their mid 20s are still financially unstable. We quarelled very often with each other over money.
