One of the things I really love about my work is the fact that I can do it from anywhere. Getting a change of scenery can really help inspire creativity in my work and has once or twice or maybe more cured my writer's block. Being away for work, for fun, or for both is a perfect opportunity to host your space on Airbnb. That way, not only do you get to experience a new part of the world, but you're also making money while you're doing it. And if you think hosting is overwhelming, I have a solve for you. With Airbnb's co-host network, it is easier than ever before to host. Now you can hire a high-quality local co-host to take care of your home and your guests. They can do everything from creating your listing to managing reservations to messaging guests and providing on-site support. They can even help with design and styling. Also, by hosting on Airbnb, you can become part of another family's story, maybe even their hero. As you know, I stayed in an Airbnb for months when my house burned down, and I truly do not know what I would have done otherwise.
So if you've got a secondary property or an extended trip coming up and you need a little help hosting while you're away, you could hire a co-host to do the work for you. Find a co-host at Airbnb.com slash host. When you're with Amex Business Platinum, you have the card that helps businesses dream bigger.

So I got married. I know I haven't talked about it on the show at all. And that's because I'm keeping that memory just between me and a very, very tiny group of people that was with me and my husband on that day.
But I decided to talk about it today because I had such a hard time making my wedding budget and actually sticking to it. And you know me, I love a budget. So I figured if I was struggling with this, I couldn't be the only one. And as it turns out, a survey by The Knot found that sticking to a wedding budget was the number one challenge for couples who got married last year. So if you're trying to figure this out, this episode is the masterclass I wish I had. But like I said, I had a hard time with this. There was so much I didn't know. So I am calling in the experts. I'm working with The Knot to give you the best guidance in the biz. Today, I'm talking to Lauren Kay, wedding budget expert and executive editor of The Knot about actionable strategies to have your dream wedding without breaking the bank. Lauren Kaye, welcome to Money Rehab. Oh, thank you so much for having me. I'm so excited to be here. I'm so excited to talk about your life and your gig that sounds like the coolest. I picture your life like Jane from 27 Dresses.
Have you seen that movie? You're the expert, right? Obviously. Always at weddings, you're reading about weddings. Is that 24-7 Lauren Kaye life?
Sort of. I was at a wedding this past weekend. I haven't been a bridesmaid in the hot minute, but I did wear some pretty, pretty memorable dresses over the years. But yes, my gig is all weddings all the time. And I love it.
And because you're the pro, I'm really excited to talk to you about all things budgeting specifically for weddings, because I just got married and I found this to be one of the hardest parts about my own wedding planning. Did you struggle with this when you were getting married?
Absolutely. Doesn't everyone? You know, for me, I actually started working at The Knot just before I got married. So I went into it not knowing much and learning really quickly between August and November of my wedding date, all the things I didn't know. I used The Knot to help plan my wedding, but it was just enough to second guess all those decisions too.
