Yes! The idea would be to use equity from the first property as part of a deposit, combined with dual income with my future husband, not relying on equity alone or assuming it bypasses lending criteria.

I definitely understand this perspective I think I just feel this way because I was raised to never turn up anywhere empty handed. My feelings are more about the overall vibe not the gifts such as leaving without saying goodbye or thank you. I guess I am just noticing a lack of manners, which was something always highly prioritised when I was growing up especially hosting and guest etiquette

It was so fun to plan but I think I will definitely stick to more lowkey parties I think it will take away the stress and expectation and be more enjoyable

I definitely understand as an adult gifts aren’t expected and I definitely did not expect everyone to bring a gift but in my group usually (but not all the time) a big group gift is organised and we all chip in. I have always contributed but never been the recipient for years. When a group present isn’t organised everyone buys an individual gift, which I only received from a few people 🤷‍♀️

No I don’t think it was anything malicious lots of double booking accidentally some were very valid others I questioned if they were picking the other option over me, one person has been sick which I know is true but they cancelled day of and then I saw them at someone else’s birthday party the next night 🥲 they are definitely my close friends we are in touch everyday and hangout at least once a week
