The Bird Show

You want to see your brother, your sister get married, but they start throwing up all these financial obstacles for you, and at one point you just got to go, I can't do this. I can't do it.

And that's where Susan's at right now. Good morning, Susan. You are on Q-100.

Good morning, guys.

Hey.

Help me.

Okay.

What's going on?

Well, I'll give you the Clif Notes version.

Basically, my brother, in order to make his life easier, has decided to go off and get married in Aruba, which is probably the most expensive Caribbean island to go to.

And right now, it would cost myself and my husband about $3,000 to get there.

So we're a very frugal people.

You have to be frugal.

$3,000 is a lot of money to anybody.

I mean, we have not been on a vacation since we've been married, except we did one of those free time share things or we had to go listen to a time share you know I mean that's the kind of

people we are so I don't know what to do so it's going to cost you three grand and have

you talked to your brother about it yet or are you calling asking now how you should handle it

with the family well

yeah kind of because the thing is like when i got married you know there was always that person

that you know had a problem with whatever decision you made and i don't want to be that person

and i want to be the person calling him and causing him more stress you know like you know i don't want

to be the the whiner because apparently we're the only ones who have problems coming up with $3,000. Right, you're the only one's focalizing it. Right. Right. Right. But right now when it costs you $100,000, fill up your gas tank, everybody's running into a problem coming up a few grand. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, we can put it on our credit card, sure, but I mean, I don't want to pay 10% of $3,000 for, you know, the next six years.
