How much it cost me to me to be a groomsman 🤵🏿‍♂️💍 Last weekend I was a groomsman in my friend’s wedding, and I had a great time! It was so fun to celebrate two of our friends, and see them officially become husband and wife (!!!). I’m always talking about money and sharing costs (b/c money transparency is important), so I wanted to share all of the expenses I had as a part of this event. ➡️ Tuxedo Rental - $192.09 (for the full outfit including shoes) ➡️ Ubers - $36.51 (to and from the wedding and rehearsal dinner) ➡️ Bachelor Trip - $1,345.66 (x4 days in Mexico City) Total = $1,574.26 Keep in mind that every wedding is different, and has different costs involved, but this was my experience! How much have you spent as a groomsman, or a bridesmaid, in the past? Let me know! #Groomsman #GroomsmanExpenses #GroomsmanCosts #WeddingParty #WeddingExpenses

Month 9/12 ✔️ You guessed it… It's time to see which one of us spent more money last month! Here’s the situation - ➡️ We’re a (currently engaged!) couple who lives together ➡️ We split our rent, fixed expenses and groceries 50/50, so we don’t include them in this ‘comparison’ ➡️ We compare our spending for fun, since we track our spending via our budgets anyways - there’s no actual ‘winner’ or ‘loser’! ➡️ We both make $4,459.91/month, and we both invest $2,000/month September’s results… 🥁 Steph spent more! What was your highest expense category this month? Let us know! 👀 #HowMuchISpent #HowMuchISpentThisMonth #WhatISpendInAMonth #HowMuchISpentInSeptember #SeptemberWhatISpent

Spending money together - as a couple - can look different over time 🫱🏿‍🫲🏻 We personally like to say that (for the most part) the exact money system you use doesn’t matter as much as 1) being on the same and communicating, and 2) being intentional and consistent with what works for you. We’ve changed our spending system over time - when we were younger, and more newly dating, we had different spending priorities… and we found a way to make that work for us. Now that we’re in a different phase of life (and now that we’re engaged) we share credit cards, we go through our credit card statements together, and we pay them off together. We talk about everything, and we tackle our expenses together as a team.
