The top tips from the married couple
“Writing everything down with spreadsheets really help ensure you don’t forget anything and help keep track of expenses. Family try to help the best they can, but sometimes they can forget you have your own ideas and wishes, so don’t be afraid to stick to what you want and be a bit forceful sometimes.”
