Is it better to quickly pay off wedding costs or do the bare minimum and use the cash for down payment on a house? This question is early on so I don’t know the full cost yet but likely $70k. Household income is a little under $300k

There's a bowl specifically for wedding planning. You may want to ask there...

Pay it off.

It's better to not spend 70k on a wedding. Just some unsolicited advice from an old guy who's been there and done that 😉

My clients are pushing back on it this year, and I can't say I blame them. If I were in their shoes, I'd rather take the risk of not filing than the expense of filing again. From my own point of view, I don't really want to spend my time on such returns, either, even if the revenue and easy return are nice.

We have been in NYC for a little while with kids (2/4 yo, we are 33 yo) and even if we are financially well-off, it feels like we can’t buy a house for our lives. We are in the legal industry but potentially could work remotely forever.

Anyone found a city they love outside of NYC where buying a house is doable? We love the diversity we can find in NYC (food, international communities). Any recommendations of cities to look at? Not interested in suburbanish settings.
