How did your love story begin?

Our love story began in 2014 back in college. Had a couple of classes together and fast-forward to today, 2026, we will be getting married on 10/3/26 after 12 years together.

What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?

My favorite memory is going on our first trip in 2024 to Cancun and getting engaged. We had a nice sunset dinner on the beach and watched the sunset go down. Everything was perfect. I will never forget that memory.

What would you do with $20,000?

We would build a 3-6 month emergency fund and set aside cash for near-term goals. Then, automate the rest into savings/investing and follow a simple spending plan so the money last.
