Parents literally have done a 360?
A couple of months ago my fiance and I got engaged, our parents were alright with it and happy they let me start dreaming and plan my wedding and assemble ideas , they had even agreed for our wedding to be next year in April
my fiancé had some legal trouble and now out of nowhere both of our families (his and mine) have changed their mind, they want me to finish school first (pre-law is 6 years or more and I have 2 years of college left) and suddenly issues that weren't addressed before ( his salary, his apartment) are suddenly all over the place, his whole family at the exception of his mother is now against me
yet both of our families say that they would rather we push everything back till I finish school...I am very angry and feel betrayed. He says he is not willing to wait, that they had agreed to next year and now they are changing their minds. I feel as if I am up against a wall
Everyone had asked us when the wedding was and now...well if someone asks me and i say it was pushed back it doesn't look too good
How do I address this issue?

A 360 means full circle, usually meaning that they are still facing the same direction they were before... I think this would be a 180.
Do whatever you think is best for you. If you think you are ready and you really wanna be with him, then go through with the wedding and your parents will come around eventually. But you have to be ready to make it without them if they refuse to help you.
If you really care about what your parents think then maybe you should both wait. Saving up more money and finishing school can only help you in the long run.

If you two are adult, surely you are, then you have every right to live your own lives. It is common sense and you of course understand this. Parents are always cautious for their children, and that is not always a bad thing. The point is, whether both of you are really independent, financially and emotionally. There is risk in every marriage, so when you take a risk, you should be fully aware of all practical difficulties the marriage could bring to both of you. So face the issue logically and try to reason with your parents. But be very sure of yourselves. If financial problems does not ruin the relation between you two, if you have the self respect of toiling under all adverse situation, then your marriage will be a gate to happiness.
