BROKE

anyone else looking forward to the wedding being over because money is just flying out of their pocketbooks. I am looking at my budget and I am really broke, I have just what is needed for the next two weeks and nothing more...I hope that nothing else comes up, dont know where the money will  come from.

  • Yep.  We aren’t broke, but I’m sad watching the balance on our checking account go down, down, down. 

     

    It will all be worth it though!

  • Yep, we are REALLY close. I am hoping and praying that FI's federal tax refund comes back this week or very early next week. He gots his state last week. I am trying not to freak out but it is reallllly hard :)
  • Yep and we just bought a house - timing totally bad, but in the end it's all good :)

  • Ooooh yes, broke as a joke.  Plus, I owed both federal and state taxes for the first time this year so that didn't help matters either since I had to pay that 17 little days before the wedding!  I can't wait until the money stops waterfalling out of my bank account.

  • Our wedding budget is surprisingly doing okay...we planned for 175 and got 140! So that's a couple thousand extra we were not expecting...but cc and my grad loans we be paying off for years since we been neglecting them saving for the wedding!

  • Yep, we're completely broke. We have just enough to scrape by until after the wedding, and we will probably be a week or 2 behind on extraneous bills afterwards, but no biggie. i'm still looking for a job so considering that we have been doing this with his income and tax returns we aren't doing too shabby.I will get a job after the wedding though. I have kind of slacked off a bit since it's so close and I haven't had much luck with finding one, but that will change come the week of May 20th. haha, I want/need a new laptop crazy bad! Gotta be able to play the new Guild Wars when it comes out! :) Plus we're planning a San Diego trip next spring for our Honeymoon. We plan on going to comicon, Sea World, the zoo, and a bunch of historic houses and stuff. So excited! We are total geeks and proud of it! 
  • yep we're in the same boat. With all the drama with the FI's exwife and the extra costs for that mess. We're barely making it.

  • Our money is dwindling not because of wedding costs (my parents are paying, so grateful for them!) I have been unemployed so right now FI is supporting us...

  • somehow i wound up ok..but the little things here or there kill me. I set aside about 3 grand for incidentals and tipping....but the saving has been primarily me because my fiance was out of work with his back.  i think i owe the venue maybe like 200 bucks. but im waiting until my final numbers are in.
