I just wanted to say....

That my life is so sad right now. It's Friday night and I am home because we are poor
Our night consisted of food shopping and adding money to the wedding shoe box. Yes, we are that bad at saving money that it has come down to the duct taped shoe box under the bed. Maybe we'll make a night of it by taking guesses as to how much is in there.........

Re: I just wanted to say....

I am home too. FI is working till 11:30 so it was a quiet evening home with the ferrets.

I was suppose to go out tonight but I didnt because I've been going out a lot the last few weekends and I am suppose to go out next friday so I stayed in.

Re: I just wanted to say....

u think thats bad? its my b day and everyone in my family is sick including my dh with severe strep throat. I am not selfish in any way but i received nothing and got hardly any phone calls either. I know some b days are like that but this one really ****ed! I was depressed to begin with so it didnt turn out that great. so here i sit, at the computer, all alone, with my girls from liweddings, lol.

Happy b day to me!

Re: I just wanted to say....

Yay! I'm not the only one with a duct taped shoe box! I think the last guess on how much was in there was 108 bucks and 13 cents. I'll let you know once I can wrestle it away from FH. He won't let me open it Party Pooper.
(oh, we only started it 3 weeks ago, hence the small amount, but we were able to save 1500 bucks before we moved.....well, that was a bigger box though.....)

Re: I just wanted to say....

I'm married already and we still have the same problem (except now saving for a house). Trust me, the time will go fast. Hang in there!
P.S. - Happy Birthday nyc!

Re: I just wanted to say....

when we were saving for the wedding there we 'money envelopes' everywhere!!!!!!

Re: I just wanted to say....

why do you think i post so much? We are paying for the WHOLE wedding, every cent ourselves.
I'm home alot, but in the end it will all be worth it & more!

Happy birthday-

Don't feel bad- I'm already married but I'm home too- DH has to work 2 jobs so we can eventually buy a house - so he's working and I am writing Thank You Cards- I CANNOT WAIT till they are done.

Happy Bday NYChic!

My new thing to do when I have no money, is go to the library and borrow dvds...they have a huge selection and its free! Other than that don't despair! Having no money $uck$, (I know) but certain things in life you just have to treat yourself to! Go out for a drink or dessert, take a walk, get a $7 manicure! Try to enjoy the little things! Feel better & cheer up!
