~ Both a jaunty guitar ballad from the early ’90s (thank you, Tracy Chapman<\/em>) and<\/strong> an effective blog header ~
\n 
\nWe’re fortunate in that we’re no longer (boy<\/strong> are we no longer!<\/em>) in our 20s and just starting out in life. We do already have our careers established. And we’re lucky enough to both have parents who are happily willing to contribute to our wedding coffers. Having said that, we also just bought our beautiful Rockstar House – a cute little townhouse in downtown Toronto. Yes, we are mortgaged and our asses officially belong to the bank.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We are not financially strapped. And we’d like to keep it that way. Now, don’t get me wrong – we are by no means livin’ large. We can’t drop coin on new furniture, a new car or a whirlwind vacation without serious number crunching, planning, discussion & saving. We’ve simply gotten over that hurdle of living paycheque to paycheque. Isn’t that what your 30s are for?
\n 
\nThis is why I’m an eBay Bride. Living in downtown Toronto is not cheap. We are not wealthy. We’re like most folks I know who choose to live in an urban centre – we get by. Oh yeah… and, as I’ve already mentioned, I’m a Cheap Bitch (perhaps I should trademark that). I like to spend less than ‘the next guy’. I enjoy the thrill of a bargain. I totally get off on paying less than you do for something we both want and\/or need.
\n 
\nSo, again I reiterate my confession: I’m Lisa… and I’m an eBay Bride.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
