Is NOT wanting to get married bad?

I am currently 30 and not quite sure if I want to get married. Personally I feel people marry for mostly financial reasons. I don't see much difference between marriage and a normal relationship. People say when you marry some one it shows you're fully committed to them. But in marriage people cheat all the time, sometimes without their spouse ever finding out. I prefer to just date around and focus on myself for now. My mind might change later on.

No, if your not ready to get married please do not get married. There is nothing wrong with being unmarried. I am a 50 something year young female and I am single.. If you get married for all the wrong reasons, have little ones they will see you and your wife fighting/etc that is no good for them it stresses them out, gives them anxiety I know. Been there and done that. Please, think about it and hard. But no, it's not bad to be 30 something and unmarried I would in my opinion see you wait then you, your wife and if you had kids miserable and then divorced it is devastating to kids to see mom and dad fight and divorce. My opinion. Good Luck! I hope I helped and I don't sound like I am giving a lecture. I don't mean too, I am trying to help. From experiences I have saw with family, friends and other couples.

@selenamoonstoneq lol. We posted at the same time. Your point is a good explanation of why people shouldn't rush into it.
