From Wedding Cash to Daydreams: Honeymoon Over House Deposit Drama
Melissa Noble and her husband, fresh from marriage at a Queensland vineyard, received AU$4,000 in wedding gifts. Rather than shoving it into a savings account, they chose to splurge on a "dream honeymoon" ā aka their babymoon on Daydream Island, complete with mocktails and shell necklaces. Despite being 'pretty broke' and working full-time jobs in journalism and massage therapy, they laughed off the idea of saving for a house deposit, indulging in fresh seafood and paddleboarding. Melissa caught herself tearfully lamenting the week's end, blaming 'pregnancy hormones' and toddler tantrums, but insists they'd 'make the same choice today.'

Who needs a house deposit when you can have shell necklaces and mocktails? Priorities: spend the wedding cash on one week of heavenly babymoon luxury, then cry on the plane. Weāre all crappy financial drivers, but hey, memories > mortgage.
Congratulations on turning what could've been a boring bank account snooze fest into a full-on adult toddler meltdown vacation. Because why invest when you can master the art of emotional seafood indulgence?
AU$4,000 for a honeymoon or a chunk of a house? Nah, who wants keys when you can have daydreams and paddleboards? Our financial plans are all over the poolside anyway.
