how much

how much

has everyone been putting away every month? My goal is 500 a month, sometimes less due to my shopping addiction,
but i was just wondering how everyone has been doing with the savings part of the wedding.

NOTHING!!!!!!! ughhhh...I need to save its so frustrating. But I don't make a lot of money right now, so its difficult to pay the rent, buy clothes and save money.

I have been saving at least 400-500 a month but I have a lot of stuff coming up in the next few months (bridal showers, bachelorette parties, weddings, and then christmas! ) so it will definitely be less until after the holidays.

We set up an account for the wedding only. He puts $1000 per month and I try to put $800.00 per month. I've stopped shopping, no new shoes, no new makeup..well maybe lip gloss from the drugstore.. no movies unless it's a matinee.. no nothing unless it's ABSOLUTELY necessary.

It's hard but it'll be worth it.. I don't even buy wedding mags anymore. I just go to the bookstore, with coffee or tea I bring from the house, and sit and read every mag and wedding book I can before I get tired. FH thinks I'm a nut.

your right, in the end itll be worth it. Ive only bought one magazine, and I still havent managed to page through the entire book, I prefer checking online.

Re: how much

FH def. saves a lot more then me because he makes more money and he saves towards buying a house .....for me it ranges every month because i get paid off the books and comission in cash also, so my weekly pay is most likely always different

Re: how much

Oh boy how I really hope you all don't hate me!!!

FH and me were originally just going to elope, so all the packages we were looking at were under $1000, no big deal there.

But then I got sick and decided that after I go through all my treatments I wanted to have a party to celebrate something joyful.

Well, when I got sick I broke my lease to my apartment and moved back home with my parents so they can help take care of me.

Sooooo.....

I'm now living rent free and guess where the rent money is going :) But I'm trying not to go crazy because, of course, we also want to buy a house so I'm trying to be reasonable...

Of course, that's kind of hard because I'm in the mindset of, 'Well, I have cancer....I DESERVE this....' LOL

About $1000. We originally said we'd each put in $500 a month but I have more to save so I put in extra for the month of September.
