Right there with ya girl! I look around this one bedroom apartment and think 'how the hell am I gonna have kids here?'. But for now it's all we have so we just enjoy the simple things and, most importantly, each other. Just know that all your sacrifices and struggles now will pay off in the end.

Don't worry... things will get better. It's scary 'growing up' and having all these worries, but you're getting married and that's the most secure feeling you can have.

I feel you on not buying anything. I'm trying so hard to be cautious w/ my money. (I bought a bag I wanted from JCrew on ebay for $7... brand new!) You'll make it work.

Ya know what... it's just a bad market right now and everyone suffers. Money was tight growing up (I have 4 siblings) and recessions can really hurt everyone. Just know that things will get better and you have eachother!!! SO AWESOME.

This is impossible...I've been soooo depressed and worried lately...with owning the home and trying to pay of this wedding we don't have any money to ourselves..i haven't been able to buy myself anything...no shoes, no clothes, no purses, not anything..its sooo hard..We might not even have enough money to go on our hm which really makes me depressed,,,I just needed to vent..its sooo impossible to save money at this point



I am in the exact same position as you!!! I totally feel for you...i cried the other day bc i feel like i have all last season clothes and i hate it!! FH's mom just bought me a couple of cute dresses and a cute summer coach bag bc she said i've been depriving myself! how nice of her!!! love her!!! But yes, our closing date on our house is june 1st and i don't know how we are supposed to swing a mortgage AND pay for the wedding!! Whatever--it'll all work out!!!

With you on this...We both have homes and are paying each mortgage and etc. Broken shoes, old clothes all of the above. This wedding is pimping me. Girl although its tough, the struggle makes it worth it. In August, we will both be smiling. A few more months. We are both educators and he just got an additional part time job. Cheers to August-off the corner for me!

I compeltely undertand you. FH and i have our oen places that we own and though I'm selling mine it's still two mortgages we are carrying right now and saving for the wedding. I completely feel your vent. All I can say is that it will get better soon.
