What should I do?

[Valhamm]

Whenever I mentioned how important it was to save and prepare for the future, He always told me that God said not to worry.

To a certain degree God doesn't want us to worry. Believers don't worry about eternal life because they have salvation in Jesus.

Oh, son, don't say such stupid things. In Matthew 6:31Jesus commanded:"Don’t start worrying.” God’s Word is clear—believers are not to be given over to anxiety. This means we shouldn’t focus on the plans, needs, and uncertainties of tomorrow, but it’s also clear about where our focus should be instead. “Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you”, which means your boyfriend should face up to your relationship and his responsibilities first, if he didn't take the responsibility, God couldn't help.

In Corinthians 13, The way of love says: "11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways." A stable relationship shall lead to a responsible marriage, which means your boyfriend shall be a man and give up his childish ways. Beyond the Bible's words, Jesus showed us what true love is. A commitment to each other and help each other be better people. My husband and I both are Catholics too. I wanted a big religious wedding and a huge diamond ring. Of course, we couldn't afford all of these. But I heard wedding ring brand, which you can only customize a ring for true love and the sales told me there was no need to buy 2 ct diamond, what matters is your commitment to each other. So I gave up my big diamond ring, I cut the budget for my wedding. I grow up not being a child. That's what love is.

While the Bible tells us not to worry as well as focus on Jesus and our eternal life, that does not mean we don't put money aside for things like our retirement.
