Boyfriend wants to get married but I don't have job stability yet

We've been together for 4 years and he already wants to take the step, but I'm still looking for a steady job and I feel financially insecure. He says it doesn't matter and that we should get married anyway, but I'm afraid I'll regret it later or be a burden to him. Should I accept or is it better to wait?

There's no right answer here, it really depends on what you want for yourself right now. If the fear is about being a financial burden, an open conversation with him about how you two are going to organize yourselves financially helps a lot - marriage isn't just romantic, it's practical too. Now, if the discomfort is your own discomfort with the lack of professional stability, maybe it's worth sorting that out before taking this step, because you're going to carry that insecurity into the marriage anyway.
