Marriage in low-income people

[Totally from my life experience] 

In Bangladesh for low-income people, girls get married at an early age. It is for 13 to 18 years old girls. It is not like the guardians always forced them, they wanted it too with some exceptions in both villages and cities.

I have asked one village person why they do that and why they don't make their girls study more. They replied, there are some reasons, like if the girl study more then they have to find a man who had got degree more than that girl has. Men don't want to marry a woman who has more degrees than him. And in the village, it is difficult to find a very well-educated man. And when any male became more educated, they demand more money from the girl's parents to get married. Taking money from the girl's parents is becoming a tradition in Bangladesh. Without asking, the boy's parents expect many things like full house furniture from the girl's parents.

Another reason is when a girl grows up she started to get disturbed by men on her way to school or anywhere else. Many men in Bangladesh have a mindset that, if a girl is outside then they can disturb her the way they want and get pleasure from that. To save a girl from this situation, parents get them married as soon as possible.

In the city, I asked a parent, why she is getting her daughter married at an early age. They said, she started falling in love with men. The parent doesn't know when she will become pregnant before marrying, so they want her to get married as soon as possible.

Canadian lifestyle

 I always choose simple life. I mean relaxed life. Actually, that's the only way I can live. I have done 3 jobs at a time to earn money. Within 3 months I had to go to the hospital. 

In Canada, people sometimes do 5 jobs at a time. The cost is very high and people want to live, not just survive. All costs are too high without any reason or just to make the rich people richer.

As I want to live a simple relaxed life. I am doing only one job (Low pay) and living hand to mouth. I don't know how long I can survive this way. Maybe my earning will someday push me to any small town. 

I don't like to live this way. When I was in Bangladesh I never looked at the price. I just look for those things what is necessary, then choose the best quality one and buy. Now I don't think about the quality. I looked at the price and even to save one cent, I choose low-quality products.

This is a very common life in Canada. If you don't do any high collar job, you have to work like a machine. Or live a life like mine.

People look for regular/risk free income

No matter how much we think money is nothing... especially it's nothing for happiness. Actually it's only nothing for happiness, when you have no demand. Otherwise for everything you need money. Even you have to pay for internet while you are reading this blog.

That's why people look for regular monthly/weekly income to stay calm and think for other goals. May be that's why people looks for risk free job/payment to live their life, though business men earn much more than an ordinary service holder.
