Date your partner. Compliment your partner. Don’t ever get comfortable because it’s been awhile. Quickest way to lose someone is to stop doing the things you did to get them. Keep the love going from the start.
People with an $800 mortgage they secured years ago absolutely love to give their input on how people renting because they physically cannot afford a home in todays market should budget, and when they say “do you realize I’m paying almost $2k for 1 bedroom” they tell you you should’ve just bought a house. I’m sorry I was like 21 with $500 to my name and in college a few years ago, Bobert. But you’re right. It’s all my fault!
