Overheard a couple in their late 20s having an intense argument at an airport lounge yesterday.
They have $60,000 saved up between them.
The guy wants to put $50,000 toward a down payment on a duplex to lock in housing security before starting a family, and spend $10,000 on an intimate backyard wedding with close friends and family.
She refused: “I am only getting married once. A $10,000 wedding looks cheap on social media, and I’m not serving tacos in someone’s lawn. We need a proper venue, videographer, and open bar for 150 guests. We can rent for another two years.”
He looked completely exhausted: “You want us to burn four years of combined savings on an 8-hour party to impress people we talk to twice a year?”
Her reply: “If you loved me, you wouldn’t make me negotiate down the one day I’ve dreamed about since I was eight.”
Rent for 2 more years to give her the dream wedding, or is this an immediate dealbreaker?
