Money

I feel like I am bleeding money today. I just paid 1500 on a payment for the wedding, Christmas was a good amount of money now I just had to spend money to fix my car. Thankfully the guy who is fixing it isn't charging me an arm and a leg to fix it. But still money is money.

Am I the only one who ever has this feeling!?

I felt like that for a long time and then I finally decided not to worry about money for the wedding. We just cut back on spending on non-essentials such as dining out and shopping.

You're not the only one! Any dollar we spend that's not wedding related, I feel guilty. Not so much on necessities like food of course. But other stuff, it's like, that could have gone in wedding savings!

I definitely feel that way. My car died in June of last year and I ended up leasing a Jeep - I wasn't used to having car payments because I owned my car.

When we went to look at co-ops and condos they didn't seem worth our while if we weren't planning on staying there for at least five years. When we signed the lease on our apartment, because of the building we're in and the location, we ended up putting down almost the same amount of money we would have for our down payment on the co-op we looked at! Since then I've felt like it's been never ending. Luckily, I paid off my personal credit cards last year, but we have one joint card that has a bunch of wedding stuff on it. Between the holidays, all the bills, rent and wedding expenses, things are definitely tight!

Thank God I am not the only one who feels this way. I have been keeping things really tight budget wise but it just seems that every time I get ahead something else comes along

Haha your not alone every where I look I see $$$$ flying by and when I think I'm ahead nope something comes up! Like you last weekend my car service cost $400 and I have a brand new car! It's crazy!

I worry a lot about this too. I have been saving, but not nearly enough as I would like. I hope we have enough when all the payments start being due. Luckily my parents are helping out a little bit, but I am so stressed about it

LOL! For real! My FH bought a Christmas ornament off amazon because he didn't want to it go out of stock for next year. I'm like, hey let's worry about the cost of flights to Hawaii not going up! Haha, he's too much.

The money stress is killing me! Not to mention the lingering thought in the back of my head that after exhausting a huge chunk of our savings, extreme penny pinching and working all this overtime- guests will have complaints anyway. If I hear any complaints at my wedding, I may very well throw a tantrum. :-/ I broke down in tears today in David's Bridal after showing my mom what I thought would be 'the dress' and she said it looked too cheap.

OMG YES!!! We took out a loan to renovate his moms house so we will have our own apartment. FH decided to take out extra for the wedding and furniture. However, we did not calculate what everything would cost before giving the bank the number we needed and now we are not going to be covered so yes every DOLLAR either of us spend I freak!

I say a prayer everyday that nothing major happens that would throw us off track. It's a little scary putting soo much money on 1 day. Maybe we should get wedding insurance. I'd love nothing more than to go on a shopping spree!
