You couldn't afford to get married if you can't afford an engagement ring.

You can get married for about $60 (or the cost of a marriage license in your area). Of course, if you want a Wedding then that's a little different.

I think I got the gist of OP's comment... Computer programmers make higher than the average salary. If you're barely making ends meet as a programmer your significant other is probably NOT making ends meet. Living together and sharing expenses saves some money but you'll probably be just about back where you started once you're married and co-habitating with your spouse.

Then comes kids...
