The hubby and I didn’t live together before we tied the knot and soon after we got engaged, we decided to head west after the wedding (two weeks after, to be exact). We not only had to find a new area to live in, but decide whether or not we wanted to become first-time home buyers in a place far more expensive than home or spend a lot on rent. We ended up renting for two reasons – the cost of buying something in the specific area we like was way out of our budget and we’re still not sure how long we’ll be here!
No matter your pre-wedding living arrangements, chances are something will be a little different after the big day. If you happen to be starting out in a new place altogether but can’t decide renting or buying is a better option for you and your beloved, check out the helpful infographic below (information is so much better when it comes in picture for, isn’t it?!)! 🙂
