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.

As much as I can....I would say about $500.

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

Go all out sweetie!! You def. deserve it!!!

Re: how much

We're trying to pay off our bills..and then we put away whatever if left..which isn't much..and there ALWAYS seems to be something else that pops up for the money to go to. It's VERY frustrating.

Fh is putting $100 a week. As far as me I just got a raise so I am putting the difference away as well as using my tax money. Thank God i had my tax money from this year for all the down payments.
