Today, I’m flying out to Las Vegas for my sister-in-law to be’s bachelorette party. This is the first time I’ve been on a plane since we started our debt reduction plan last year.
Sure I could stay home and skip the expense, but it means a lot to me to be a part of the events leading up to her marriage to my brother.
I promise to be good.
Have a good weekend.
Beks is a full-time government employee who enjoys blogging late into the night after her four kids have gone to sleep. She’s been married to Chris, her college sweetheart, for 15 years. In 2017, after 3 long years working the Dave Ramsey Baby Steps, they paid off more than $70K and became debt free. When she’s not working or blogging, she’s exploring the great outdoors.
Have fun!
Have a great time, and leave all your cc/debit cards in the room. 🙂
I can see why wedding expenses can add up so quickly. Around my neck of the woods, the prestuff is done on a smaller scale, or locally. I’ve never known folks to go on cruises or fly to Vegas for a bachelor/ette party.
Have a great time!
Have a good time Beks. 🙂
Jolie I think the scale of the bachelor/bachelorette parties really depends on the bride and groom. And, in this case, geography. Beks lives in San Diego, so it’s probably easy for them to go to Las Vegas or on a cruise. It’d be harder for me to get to Las Vegas from Boston than for someone in California.
Anyway, have fun, Beks!
I think you need to have a balance in your life – you can’t turn down ALL social opportunities just so you can pay off your debt a month sooner. (on the flip side, you can’t do EVERYTHING you want to do or else you’ll NEVER get rid of your debt!) Hope you have a great time!
Take a well-deserved mini vacation. Win some money, unravel and let it all hang out for a few days. Put it all back in before returning–ha ha!
I find bachelor and bachelorette parties are top priorities. It means A LOT to people when you are invited and come to their party. As long as it doesn’t cost $1,000, there is no reason to save a few hundred bucks in exchange for having someone upset at you the rest of your lives.
Have fun! Vegas is awesome!
Have fun! Glad it’s you and not me, I’m too cheap : )
Welcome to my city. Hope you have fun.
Limiting the pleasures in life but eliminating is painful and unnecessary. Don’t do too much damage and have a good time. Some things can’t wait to be enjoyed, so enjoying them now.
