Craaaaap. You ladies are scaring me.

Last year I cleared $3,700. I know this year will be way less, but I was hoping for $2,000

I will find out next week when I go pick them up from our accountant

I want to get my ipad 2 and pay for some of the HM!

Re: Finance Freakout

ugh i'm sorry... i totally feel your pain.

last year i got back 1500...so i was expecting slightly below that along with FH's similar amount....this year we both owe the state and get to put a grand total of 400 bucks jointly in our wedding account.

Re: Finance Freakout

I used mine to buy a New iMac for my freelance business. Was hoping to use it on wedding payments.. But without the new computer - I couldn't make more money!

Costs money to make money

Re: Finance Freakout

I really wanted to cut back on guest list, and when we tried, it GREW! I wanted to cut out all parents of friends, and then they all ended up on the A list somehow!
