Survey Reveals
Couples Marry
On "Shoestring"
If "marrying on a shoestring"
can be defined as going to the
altar on an income of less than
$60 a week about $3,000 a
year then one out of every
three newlywed couples falls
into this category, says the In
stitute of Life Insurance.
Citing a study made recently
by the National Office of Vital
Statistics, the Institute points
out that 35 per cent of couples
newly-married at the time of the
survey had annnual income of
less than $3000.
Some of these couples, by
careful money management, un
dnnbtedlv found they could
mv--tn rin 1ms than S60
week. Others, presumably, were
receiving assistance from their
familips throush eifts of food
or money. A number of students
were included in the 35 per cenx
ti,iVi nw nr no income of
niiu, it-
their own, were being supported
by their parents. At least one
in m nt these newly-married
couples was living with their
families.
And, of course, some newly
weds were farm couples who
like most farm families have
comparatively small cash in
comes and rely to a greater or
lesser degree on food raised on
the farm.
O There are always a few young
sters who get married impul
sively, apparently without mucn
thought of the responsibilities of
matrimony and establishing a
family. But from the point of
view of income, most newly
weds, seem to have at least a fair
foundation upon which to build.
Tn four out of 10 new marriages
family income exceeds $4000 a
year, or about $80 a week.
