Hello everyone! This is Ashley from Stacks and the City and I want to share with you why I feel like the information that radiates social media on our 30s is 100% a lie: and here's why:

Lie #2: You Career Starts to Thrive

Hello wonderful people! It's so great to be back chatting with you. We're changing it up a bit from our normally scheduled programming to speak on something that will put a well meaning person financially out- a wedding and bachelorette season. It is high. I have some tips on my own expereince on how to save and prepare for an expensive wedding season. At the end of the day remember- this is NOT your wedding. YOU did not decide to get married or make this big step. Therefore, YOU are not obligated to pay for it.
HOWEVER
