Advising her to buy a cheaper car is fine as long as you do it in a "Don't be dumb like me and make the same huge mistake I did" sort of fashion.

Ikea has mattresses for very cheap, I think our queen-sized mattress was around $150-200 (+ the bed frame and slat was around $400 total).

I think yurts are pretty cool too but I think they're probably cooler in my head than they'd be to actually live in.

My wife and I spent < $3000 on our wedding (not counting flying her brother out from Germany), it's definitely possible to do cheap if you don't get sucked into the mindset of "weddings have to be like this because that's what I saw on some TV show". Take advantage of family or community resources (sounds like you're doing this already); for our reception, we used a field that's part of our church's property for free, and we honeymooned at an aunt's timeshare.

Macbook Airs are great but I thought you were relatively poor or something? You can get a laptop with comparable specs in terms of raw performance (except for SSD) but with a crappier physical design for like half the cost.

tuyop posted:The 100k number is based on both of our gross salaries. Toeshoes makes 4425/month gross and I made 4553. My net pay is going down 200/month so I imagine that the gross is still somewhere around 4200. That's actually 107 736/year but about 10k of that is benefits that can be withdrawn at any time. So that's the picture for the next two years, most likely. I don't think most people can count on their job staying the same for any longer than that in their early to mid-twenties.

If you're reaaaalllllly sure about the roommates in question being non-obnoxious and standup people, it could be worth it. Otherwise it's a big risk, they could turn out insufferable.

Macbook Airs are great computers, even for the price, if you factor in build quality, form factor, resale value, and a bunch of tertiary things that Apple tends to do better than competitors (e.g. trackpads). That said, they're definitely high-end/luxury items. You can get a competent but boring PC laptop for significantly less.quote:I think we can have a nicer lifestyle without spending a shitload of money, a la MMM, but it's not going to be free. Some planning, saving and soulsearching is in order. Mr. Money Mustache posted:Apple Products - Unless you earn a living as an iOS/Mac developer, you may own one Apple device per person.. period.

iPads are awesome. They let you do lots of things in lots of places and positions, and they make doing these things pleasant. It's way more fun to use an iPad to browse the web or watch a TV show on a bed or couch than it is to use a laptop. Their portability/mobility in general is just far better than a laptop.

I can see how that might work for history, but what about math or science? "I'm going to DANCE about polynomials!"
