• Anything that says “wedding” is marked up for sure. We found that also. Daughter is a CPA so she made a detailed wedding budget when she got married 15 years ago. It was great. We kept to it pretty well. Chris

• I am not ashamed to say I am one of the over 20 people who liked the comment Marilyn is mentioning. We need to remember that people from all walks of life come to this site. Not all of us were high earners in our careers, but there is still a place for us here to learn. Jonathan wanted to help people when he started HD and we need to remember that, I think. Chris

• Thank you, bbobbins, I have been thinking about this post on and off since Dick posted. Your last paragraph is good. I came to HD to learn. It is why Jonathan started the site. We need to help the young people, not shame them. Chris

• I am not a statistician or someone who thinks up surveys, but it seems to me that a survey with only 240 responses isn’t really serious? Wouldn’t you need many more responses to be taken seriously? I hope someone who worked in this field might respond. Chris

• Thank you, Rick, good article. It will help the young people. I agree with you about having various sources of income to draw from, that is why we opened Roth’s about when you and your wife did. I also wanted to mention that when Spouse retired and worked part time for a year, they were eligible to continue in the 401k. We decided to put it in the Roth portion instead of traditional b/c our income was lower. We are not drawing from the Roth portion of our portfolio yet. Chris

• Maybe not, but I got one with a $15k credit limit and at the time I didn’t even have a job. Chris

• Thank you, Marilyn. You said it more eloquently than me. Chris

• I think they will charge whatever they can get away with, to be honest. Yes, I agree people should pay their bills, but most of the people here in the forums are blessed, including myself. We are not living hand to mouth like some Americans. C
