i have a confession to make (financially related)

i hear you, i freak out all the time about money. DH and I both have good jobs but so many expenses with the house that I always wish we had more in the bank in case of an emergency.

I restrained myself where I could in the wedding and compromised with DH a lot. Some things were more important to me than others but the most important thing was that i did NOT want to go into debt for this wedding. We did end up using our credit card for the final payment but paid it off right away.


worry about this is normal, in fact i think it's healthy and shows you are aware of your spending. just keep a budget and stick to it!

lol the funny thing is FH was a lot more frugal than I am. Igrew up really really poor.I mean I've been homeless so money to me is important...it wasnt easy to just make more. now things are better but my family still stuggles so i guess thats where the guilt comes from. I'm sue I'll get over it but life (at least the one i had and have has taught me that I can't see it as 'money is money'. maybe one day that will change...once my career is better established! hehe until then, I've gotta worry cuz I've been on the bad end of the spectrum!

We all have Student Loans (Well Majority of us) but seriously it's getting paid and eventually it will be paid off. Just breathe and don't go all in on a poker table that's not what I am saying but it can always be made.

I myself am by no means are rich, honestly if it weren't for DH I would be home still. My parents taught me the difference between 'Wants' and 'Needs' and so did DH's parents. I have always worked my butt off with 3 jobs, but now I am in a place where all that work has paid off. With that being said I still feel Money is money and it can be made but I am Sorry if I offended you or if that sounded snobby, didn't mean it like that.
