Thank you.

I like that one.

Keep it going.

If you've got a broke tip that you want to share with us, please join the She's In The Money Facebook group and share it on Bec's thread that goes up every week.

We're about to take a quick break, but when we come back, we'll be unpacking this week's Money Dilemma about soon-to-be newlyweds and whether they should put their investments on hold to fund their wedding.

Yeah.

I think they probably can't cut costs.

Generally speaking, when you book stuff for a wedding, you book it really far in advance.

So it's like I'm guessing that they've booked it all in, they've signed all their contracts with their vendors, and there's the $5,000 shortfall is what she's talking about.

I would be inclined to maybe split the difference personally.

Again, obviously this isn't financial advice.

I think that when you stop investing, it would be about five months that they'd be out of the market.

There's just the opportunity cost, I think particularly at the moment because there is a lot of market volatility there.

It does, at least in the things that I'm investing in, it seems like there's been dips, which are good opportunities to buy.

And if you stop investing for that five-month period, potentially you miss out on that.

When they've said they've got savings, I'm assuming it's not your emergency fund.

Because if it was, I'm guessing you would have referred to it as your emergency fund.

I'm assuming it's savings that you've got sitting there for maybe the honeymoon or something that you're just saving and working your way towards.

Yeah.

You know me, I'm risk averse.
