I am 29, baby step two. Just student loans left. But I'm going, I'm a bridesmaid for my friend's

0:14.4

black tie wedding here in Chicago. And so I've already gone to her bachelorette and then went to

0:20.6

the bridal shower, didn't give a gift yet. And then I've already gone to her bachelorette and then went to the bridal shower, didn't give a gift yet.

0:23.5

And then I'm going with my boyfriend to the very nice rehearsal dinner and then obviously the very nice wedding.

0:30.4

What would an appropriate gift be?

0:33.1

My boyfriend and I kind of disagree about obviously we'd kind of each do something since we're both going together for all these events of how much we should each be giving. Oh, this is great.

0:43.0

Okay, I'm a little old school wedding etiquette here. Have you given a gift at all at any point?

0:49.3

No, other than the, I mean, other than the, uh, when we travel together, right? Like, I think we all split the Airbnb for the year. Sure. Okay, yeah, yeah. But you haven't given a physical gift yet. Nope. Okay. I got a quick question for everybody and you, Rachel. Why does the boyfriend, he's just the boyfriend? Why does he have to buy a wedding gift? Am I too cheap on that? George? Are you friends? Is he friends with the groom? Yes. So we're going to a wedding actually the weekend before. That's just for my friend. And he's not giving a gift for that one. I'll give one for both of us. Okay, I have an idea. Oh, I like it. I don't really have an idea, but kind of an idea. Because I'm not creative. Go on Etsy.

1:45.4

What's a really sentimental, really not expensive, but really cool thing that you could do that's like, oh yeah, it's not going to be an obvious, like, KitchenAid mixer that you know what you mean, like that she's going to know the price of it. Do you think someone wants that for it there? I don't know, I don't know, but between your, like, your friendship or something.

1:46.6

Like, it's a gift to her.

1:47.1

That's fair.

1:45.6

And, she's going to know the price of it. Do you think someone wants that for it there? I don't know, I don't know, but between your, like, your friendship or something. Like, it's a gift to her. That's fair. And it's something there that's not going to cost a lot. I thought it was like a faux pot to give something that's not on the registry. Okay, you're all black tying me up. I can't, like, like, no, like, it's like, Ask her to name 30 things on the registry. She'll lose track after seven.

2:00.4

I guarantee she was adding.

2:01.8

I want to just give money.

2:03.2

I don't want to give her. Ask her to name 30 things on the registry. She'll lose track after seven. Is it really?

2:01.1

Right.

2:01.6

I wanted to just give money. Most people. I don't want to give her stuff. Ideally, I thought I should give. Oh, you're just going to give like a $1.50 each person. Oh, I hear you. I hear you. I mean, I can. Oh, I like this. This is a little more specific. Okay, okay, okay, I got you.

2:17.4

She's clearly a fancy person, right?

2:18.9

But honestly, you've spent so much already.

2:21.1

I just like, I can. I can make it. Oh, I like this. This is a little more specific. Okay, okay, okay. She's clearly a fancy person, right?
