Here's an argument for jumping right into marriage. It could save you a fortune. According to a new study out of England, a man spends an average of over $40,000 on a woman from the time he meets her until they get married.

The study found that it takes about three years and 10 months from a first meeting until a wedding. And during that time, the guy is just spending and spending and spending.

Every month, the average man in a relationship spends $338 on dinners and nights out, and $155 on other meals. Every year, he also spends $861 on flowers, chocolates, and other gifts, and $1,250 on vacations.

The study also found that more than 50% of married men say they spend less on their women now that they're married. And 18% wish they'd proposed earlier to start saving money. (Daily Mirror)
