    Depends. I have enough in savings to cover the cost, sure, but there’s only enough in savings because I’ve been transferring about 25% of my paycheck to savings for the past 2 years in order to afford a wedding/honeymoon. So I’d just be pushing myself into a larger credit debt after the bills come due for the wedding services.

      Wedding/honeymoon, what a fucking waste of money you’ve been suffering for the past two years to throw away all that hard-earned income on a one-week transitory moment 🤦‍♀️

        Pfft, fresh fruit and eggs for breakfast. What a waste of hard earned money for a 10 minute transitory moment.

          do you transfer 25% of all your income for 2 years to a fund devoted to one 10-minute breakfast of fresh fruit & eggs?

            Doesn’t matter the amount of money or the time.

            The fact is that creating enjoyable memories for yourself or as a couple is important for a relationship. Having a nice vacation in general is important for mental health, especially if you’re an American who likely almost never gets to be truly away from work.

            Disparaging someone for saving money for a vacation is just an elitist attitude.

            You could survive off of multivitamins, rice and beans for the rest of your life if you really wanted to not waste money. Yet you’re now defensive of a mediocre breakfast. So at what point does spending money on “transitory moments” become wasteful to you.
