I am from the UK. :P

"We" spend on average three months worth of salary. Around £5k I guess. Certainly not enough for a house, but a good amount of money to put towards your first family home when you get married. Houses need furniture and all that fancy stuff. :)

Wait what?

I'm British and I've never heard this three month thing outside of the US. Surely this isn't a UK cultural thing too?

Never been married either, mind, or in a position to propose, so it hasn't exactly come up.
