Re: Making it on your own as a couple..
Why do you want to do it without anyone's help. I mean if mom and dad want to give you a head start by throwing few thousand dollars in your saving account, say thank you and take it. I would love to set up a saving account for my daughters once they get married. I am sure your parents and parents in laws think like me. Dont deny them the feeling of contributing into the future of their kids even if kids are married.
