FH and I will be together 5 years next week... I managed to get my hands on Lifehouse tickets for a total of $64.... told FH and he was excited, but all 'we don't have $64 to spend, and then we'll go out to dinner and it'll cost $150 for the night, and it could go to the wedding fund instead... let's not do gifts...' .... I want us to do something, but I don't want to be the budget breaker... should I cancel the tickets?

Re: $ question
I would say just go to the concert for $64 and do not go to dinner. Maybe the 2 of you could cook together that could make the night special.

sometimes you have to splurge to keep your sanity - keep the tickets and enjoy yourselves!

I'm not sure of your money situation, but I would still go.
Yes you are saving for the wedding, but you need to live too. You'll be surprised how you can come up with money. I wouldn't cancel the night out because it could go into the wedding fund, but that's just me. I would cut corners elsewhere if needed, but it's a special night and you both are allowed to celebrate it.

Go to the show and enjoy yourselves. If you don't want to cook maybe do take-out before you go or go to a diner. You need to relax and let go of the wedding every once in a while.
Have a great time

Go see the show and try to do dinner at home or at an inexpensive restaurant. You should celebrate this special day!

totally agree. FH and i have these type of conversations all the time. sometimes you gotta splurge a teeny bit to relieve some stress. $64 won't break the bank. have some dinner at home that nite or get some fash food if you have to.

Re: $ question
I would go- maybe skip dinner or do something inexpensive
and then cut the money from something else- skip a manicure or the next time you want to order take out food- don't
you can't save every dollar for the wedding- you have to live still!

Don't miss the concert, and maybe just go to the diner, or eat at home before you go.

Re: $ question
Just go! To the concert and dinner. I know you have to save but sometimes you just need a fun night out for the two of you. Honestly, after the wedding it will probably be a house or kids and there will never be a 'good' time to spend money. You'll always be saving so just go and have a great time and don't feel guilty.

Re: $ question
Go... definitely do not get into the habit of choosing not to do something because you are saving up for something else. Next, it will be ' We can't go to the concert because we are saving for a house' or ' We can't go away this weekend because we are saving for a baby'. You need to live your life and have fun memories together. From all the stress of planning a wedding, you NEED this fun time with eachother. $64 won't make much of a difference when you're spending $1,000s at a time for the wedding. It's not like you're spending $6,400 dollars, thats a different story...
