Bridesmaid Duties Are Destroying My Budget (And Possibly Our Friendship)
6/4/202635 min
Your bestie just asked you to be their bridesmaid, which has you wondering: will you (or your friendship) ever financially recover from this?
Happy Friday Drinks to all who celebrate. In this week’s episode, Victoria and Jess cover the costs of being a bridesmaid in a distressed (but very relatable) DM. With nuptials on the menu, they also respond to a Money Dilemma which asks which money chats should we be having before getting engaged?
Before linking your life (and your finances) with your lover, what money stories, habits and convos need to be tabled and how do you have these chats when love and money are often at odds with each other?
As always, the gang will be bringing you Money Wins of the week, plus Broke Tips for making your budget that much happier come payday.
