I completely agree, which is why I think it's important to delegate decision-making responsibility to an investment coach. Underperformance is essentially unimaginable given their specialized experience and education, as well as the fact that each of their skills is focused on harnessing risk for its asymmetrical potential and controlling it as a buffer against certain unfavorable events. Working with an investment coach for over two years, l've made over $1.5 million.

Our family didn't have to move between the ceremony and the reception. After the ceremony, we had photos taken while the waitress took everyone's order. then we had our First Dance, and then the meals were served. We had budgeted $500 for the restaurant cost, and it was only $235. We gave them the entire $500 and we heard later that the waitress split the tip with the cook and the runner. Great wedding! My new husband had debt that we tackled after the honeymoon.

I've always been very intentional about my money. I don't think i have a dumb purchase. But, my worst purchase was my first house. It was all bad timing. I bought into an area that didn't seem to be affected by the 2008 crash. Really, they were just 2 years behind. So I bought right before they crashed. Which would have been fine. My initial plan was to buy & hold for at least 8-10 years. Pay it off in that time. Then rent it because it was a great location for college students or a small family wanting ties to the college. Work had other things in mind. My company got bought out. The product line I was working on got canceled. I didn't lose my job, but it was really close. I ended up having to move immediately. And it was at litterly the lowest point in the market. I lost 40k on the sale. Plus it was a fixer. So everything I put into it was gone too. Idk how much anymore but it had to be a 60k+ loss by the time you account for everything. Had I been able to make my plan work. I would have a pretty sweet rental. I'd have probably 1.5k extra of rental income. And the house is worth 3x now of what I originally paid. I probably would have sold it soon if not already to pay off my existing house and add some to my investments. But none of that happened. Really the whole thing set me back by about 10 years. Little less. Yeah.. agai, it was the worst purchase ever but had a lot of potential. I absolutely hate mergers & acquisition. The only people who benefit are stick holders. The employees are always treated like garbage. Just... if you manage a company... stop pretending it's a good thing. Nobody buys it. We knowyou'rer lying. Stop lying. It's not good.

As someone that is currently planning a wedding, I can tell you the reception is the expensive part of the wedding, not as much the ceremony, so having a reception later probably won't save as much as you might hope. I tried to find a venue outside of my church, but that was really expensive. Then I thought I'd have the ceremony at the church and go elsewhere for the reception, that was going to be just as expensive and way more hassle. So I just decided to have it all at my church because it was significantly cheaper, but it's still going to be more expensive than I had hoped for. Neither of us want an expensive wedding. The cost at this point is all on me and I recently paid off debt and am rebuilding my emergency fund. When we get married I will inherit her debt. So we don't have a lot of cash to work with and I need at minimum to pay for the wedding, honeymoon, and a new larger bed when we get married. It all adds up. And of course we need to then start working on knocking down her debt.
