How I am dealing with cash tips!

I decided that going to the bank a few days before my wedding and taking out hundreds of dollars in 20s will be too much to start dealing with, because I will have so many payments due right around then.

So now everytime I get a paycheck I am taking out an extra $40 and hiding it, so when the wedding rolls around I already have plenty of cash waiting to go!

smart idea- also a good way to save slowly and not feel like you are withdrawing hundreds of $$ all at once

im in the minority... i say keep everything in savings accounts as long as you can, esp if you arent getting married until 09.

then let the interest you earn on it lessen the blow.

I agree. Put it in a savings account that you don't touch!

Usually, yes, but the interest I am going to earn on that money in a regular savings account will be such a small amount it barely seems worth the effort of making a large withdrawal in cash right before the wedding. And if I put it into my mutual fund account right now, it would all probably be lost in the market by the time my wedding rolls around!!!

That's a great idea. My FH did something similar. He stashed away change and dollar bills in a HUGE jug. We are going to use that for the wedding tips. He has been doing this since Christmas and has almost 500!

that;'s great. i like to stash cash i make from tutoring and i kind of forget about it and then remember and am like oh wow!

We have been putting money in jars too! We each have one it was going to be a contest but FH decided to count it all and put it all in HIS!!!!

But I put 20% of my check in a seperate account for all wedding stuff.

thats a good idea we are doing the same thing also putting away change and singles in a jar i havent counted yet but its looking good

GREAT IDEA....that's what I started to do with my spare change...every week I dump into my little container not sure how much I have, I just started doing that in August after he proposed to me. But I'm sure by the time the wedding comes I should have a couple of hundreds!

i totally agree. FH wants to pay all this stuff off early, and i told him we're keeping the $$$ on the ING account until the bills are due so WE earn the interest instead of the overpriced wedding vendors.
