For a young male, (21) What would you consider financially stable enough to get married?

Maybe 50-60k a year with a steady white-collar job
That's when my brother married anyways and he's been fine. Of course moved out is another, and paying for your own insurance

It depends on where you live. $45K/year in one state might get you a lot further than in another state. You might need $60K just to live as comfortably as that $45K.
It also depends on how you live. You can be incredibly frugal yet still have a decently nice and comfortable lifestyle if you're okay with that and can manage it properly. Or hell are you even just okay with being poor?
It's all relative to your personal situation. What is stability to you, and more importantly what does it mean to your partner? You could get a rough idea here but there are a lot of variables you need to give us to more accurately assess you.

Should there be a prerequisite # of years working beforehand?

As long as you've got job stability, no.
>>17123026
30k without children, 40-45k for one child, 50k+ for 2+ kids. Like another anon said, cost of living is important to consider. I was going by my area, a middle-class suburb.

That's a lot, especially without kids.
Enough saved to support you, your wife, and a couple of kids without any income at all for a year or two. Depends on where you live. In the U.S. I'd say have at least $100,000 saved up with at least $50,000 a year income. In eastern europe that figure would be around $25,000 at the most for example.

>Save at least 6 months worth of paychecks for emergency
>liquor cabinet stocked with all sorts of hard liqor
>crushing realization that financial success will never remove that spaghetti from you
