TERRIBLE NEWS..NEED SUPPORT

Original post by failurebydsign

so today Fh was on the phone with FFIL telling him that his payment was due by april 18th..(he was doing $500 and my parents $500)

well he tells us that he didnt know that he had to make payments this soon..that he only agreed to do his portion ( which was $4,000) 2 weeks before the wedding so he doesnt have the money now

to make it worse..FH calls FMIL to get advice and she says that this whole thing is rediculous and even though she wants me to be happy..she will not tak eon 2/3 of the money while my mom and step dad only pay 1/3..that it wasnt even fair to begin with

so
BECAUSE FH HAS TOO MUCH PRIDE he says ( without discussing it with me) that we will take on the 1/3 that his dad was going to pay..

its fine adn all..i mean it is my wedding..but i get paid $5.15 hr + commision and FH gets $11.00 hr..we have a lot of bils to pay..and we were picking up everything for the wedding besides RH anyways..my sister as a gift is paying for Dj so we had to do all the odds and ends and Phtot-video ( $4000) so we were paying the same amount that the parents were paying ust on something else..so it now looks like were paying a total of $8,000 plus all the other things i have to do ( decorations, flowers, invitations, postage, veil, slip..etc etc)

my total earning last year was $10,000

WHAT THE HELL AM I GOING TO DO..we both have to either get 2nd jobs..or i am moving abck to Florida the end of the month..

thanks everyone..i wasnt on all day so im just now reading all this..

i am going to get a 2nd full time job..being that i work all nights...

so i think i might have gotten hired today at the post office doing data entry 7-3 M-F..and it pays like $14hr..and all that money will go to savings..so i think we will be ok..

i just have to keep in my head that since were making more..it means saving more..not spending more..cause i have a tendency to do that..lol..

but hopefully it wil get figured out



The second job should help out allot. FH & I are paying for the entire wedding ourselves in addition to saving for a house & investment property. FH already works a second job & I can't take one on because I'm starting law school this summer part-time & working full-time. What's FH's thoughts about you taking on a second job?
