My parents set us up with our first investment buy/hold as a wedding gift, and that is when my journey started at 24.  

We went to weddings, birthday parties etc over the years here.  

@Garrett Hawk"Buy at the funeral, sell at the wedding"

We arnt married we are postponing our wedding untill we have enough to buy the duplex. been together for 4 years so we are pretty sure. she doesn't live with me due to cultural differences she has to stay living with family untill she is married. so it's only me being subjected to this mess.

lol with real estate, I am always working... even when I was in my honey moon away in the mountains(I was in the middle of a deal, my new husband had to drive me around to find internet and cell phone receptions) He has planed our honeymoon months before the wedding but he changed the honeymoon plan so I can have my deal.

Like for example taking a long vacation trip whenever your want or changing career path without thinking about your financial conditions or starting off with your own business, not worrying much about investment options.Become Debt-free: Did you just lose your job or having sudden wedding plans or having a baby?

Then as a little extra bonus gave one of his daughters as a wedding present who married a dude named Carson, they got the land for the City of Carson.  

:Well, he's obviously not living with his fiance/wife ;-) Well at least the scumbag is traditional and not shacking up before the wedding.  :-)

We now utilize our home for the occasional wedding and plan on ramping that part up so that our house is a profit center.

@Joshua Little I was there on Wed.
