Did ours recently, so real numbers-ish. The big buckets: banquet (usually the biggest, hotel vs restaurant vs void deck changes everything),…
Married 6 years, my husband was the spender. What saved us was the "three pots" system. Joint account for shared stuff (rent, utilities, gro…

I did poly (engineering) then got into local uni, so it's very doable if your GPA is good. The framing 'JC is faster' is true but faster isn…
