So, today I sat down with all of my contracts and figured out due dates for everything and how much is due on the day of. Hmm....
1. I'm really hoping that I win the lottery (doesn't help that I don't play).
2. be glad I don't have the body for it because I'd become a stripper to pay these bills.
3. how does cat food taste? I may need to start bringing it for lunch. although, anorexia is looking good...think of all the money I'll save and I'll be thin for the wedding.
j/k I'm just going to rob a bank.

Re: money money money
Can I rob the bank with you...I feel the same way!
you'll be ok..believe me. I was headed for poor town my self but some how we are doing really well. I made an excel spreadsheets so we can deduct our payments and then we made a 'wedding' calender that we filled in our payments on so we can be well aware of whats coming each month. By July we are all paid up on our minimum at our hall! I am super excited. Now of course we are gonna go over our minumum but the stress is way down. We are just putting every extra penny into the wedding fund so we can use the extra money for moving into our own place and all the extra expenses that may come along at the end. If I can do it...you guys can!

You'll be alright. We are all going through this in one way or another. Just set aside money regardless everytime you get paid and then budget your money with whatever that's left over.

Re: money money money
Yeah, we've been saving money since we got engaged and we will do it but DAMN...weddings are expensive, huh? lol
.....I know it is so hard but, you will find away. We all do one way or another. I rely on my tax money while FH puts away every week. We dont go out anymore.

lol
I SO UNDERSTAND! I just sent out our 4th payment to the RH yet another 3000 grand down! They ask for 2000 but FH & I want to have less to pay at the end. I guess so it doesnt feel like so much at once rather then a little more right now. We actually sat down created spread sheets & tabs for each vendor & then one massive vendor sheet with every breakdown payment & what will be due day of or 1 week before wedding. Boy that was fun! NOT!

Re: money money money
Sounds like some of you are very organized. I think I will sit down one of these days and figure out a budget. Thanks for the idea!

Sadly I think cat food is too expensive. Try Ramen Noodles, they're only like .19 a pack!

you make a good point! I survived on ramen noodles in college. I don't think I ever want to eat those again in my life!

Re: money money money
We almost had a breakdown yesterday. My FH is in Real Estate and the market ***** right now. Were starting to think maybe having a wedding during a recession wasnt such a good idea. Our reception hall is the biggest pain ofcourse. I wish we would have paid them a little at a time now. Oy.
