Moving into your late 20s and into your 30s means your social calendar shifts from birthdays to wedding season! And boy does wedding season hurt the bank account. Don't get us wrong, we absolutely love, love and there is no better experience that watching people closest to you tie the knot, but wedding culture has become, well, expensive.

The other shift is that your social media slowly becomes more "adult", commenting congratulations on the new house, rather than posting the good old fashion party pic (shout out to the Jeffrey Campbell era)!

This week, we chat with the powerhouse, Rhi Joyce, about navigating comparison as we move into our 30s. Whether it be budgeting for, or working out when it is ok to say no, or setting realistic expectations for your property goals so that you don't overwhelm your bank balance - Rhi provides a refreshing perspective on navigating it all.

But the conversation doesn't end here... we want your thoughts!

1. What are your thoughts on wedding culture? Have you struggled to keep up with it financially?
2. Do you feel disassociated from the housing market? Or struggling to understand how much you will really need for a house?
3. How much do you contribute to wedding presents?

Send your thoughts to these questions, or anything else from our chat to [email protected] for our brand new newsletter. And don't forget to subscribe whilst you're at it!
