THE FUTURE

No one knows what the future will bring but we all have some idea of how we want it to turn out. Whether your dreams include becoming an actor or starting your own company or raising a family (or all of the above), there are steps you can take to help yourself acheive those goals:

  1. Finish high school or – even better – college: more education means more financial security. And more financial security means less fighting about money and how to spend it...one of the top reasons couples give for divorcing.
  2. Wait until your 20's or later to marry: teens who marry are two to three times more likely to divorce
  3. Wait to have kids until you're married: less than eight percent of teen moms marry the father of their child. What's more? Only 30% of teen moms who marry after the birth of their child are still in those marriages by the age of 40.
