Okay, my husband and I are trying to decide if we should go on an African safari hunt or to keep saving for a house.

This is the most Oklahoma call I think I've ever got.

So here's a little situation and background.

So we got married this past year and decided for our 10-year anniversary that we are going to go

on an African safari and hunt, all the jazz.

And then a month ago, we entered a raffle and found out that we won a nine-day all-inclusive hunt in South Africa,

and it's a $20,000 value.

It includes like the hunt, lodging, food, and Lord willing, like two animals per person.

But after we did our research, it does not include airfare, transportation, gun rental, but the kicker is the

taxidermy and the shipping of the taxidermy. In total, all of that comes out to 12,000 to 15,000

out of pocket, which doesn't include like extra excursions or spending money. It's a lot

of money. What's your household income, huh?

275,000 a year. We're in Baby Step 3B, so in our first year of marriage, we are debt-free with our

fully funding emergency fund. We are targeting to purchase a house April of 2026, so in one year, and we're on track for

87,000 for a down payment.

And we have a sinking fund for our vacation this year of $2,600.

So we see three potential options if you could help us with our first marital financial hurdle.

Well, you're in a much better place than I thought you were going to be when we started this

conversation.

I was thinking this was going to be a hard no when we started, but you make $275,000.

You're out of debt.
