She said she sent the remaining $400 by  money order last week and i expect to receive it by Wed May 13. 

Currently this is going towards our wedding, but will be reallocated to real estate in 6 months. 

They can't work, but they can smoke and drink and party and travel out of state to a friend's wedding, and keep the cell phone and wireless service going to post selfies on Instagram and Facebook. 

We are in the early stages of wedding planning along with her starting a new career so we have every excuses as why to not make this happen.

Imagine all the vacations, , the memories, the cooks outs , never missing a soccer game or wedding.

We are planning on moving to Houston in 2023 and want to build up some passive income up here in milwaukee to aid us in the move, our wedding the week before the move, her grad school the year after we move, and of course our mortgage.

Long story short, after coming back from living overseas, my wife and I both found jobs, spent the money we had saved overseas on our wedding and were approved for a certain amount for a mortgage and we went to the top of our budget on a house which will never give us a return.However we ARE very lucky because our house was a flip. 

With the type of growth we are seeing, there is usually still fair amount of corporate/contract travel, not to mention weddings and such. 

I almost found this out the hard way once, and am very grateful to a helpful and very adamant court clerk, advising me to do things right so I didn't get scr*wed.

But I will give them a gift for a major life event such as first baby, wedding.
