Girlie42 asked:


I am a college students who is lucky to enough to have a job where I make about $200 a week and am paid in cash on Friday’s. I live in the city where going out can be very expensive. The only problem is, Monday rolls around and I realize that I’ve already blown through almost all of my money! I have nothing to show for it and need to start saving and stop spending. Any suggestions??

My Fiancee and I are looking to get married in April of 2009. Starting in december of this year, he will be finishing with school and his current job has offered him a job at 55,000 a year. I will still be only making about 15,000 at the time. Our wedding right now looks like it will be costing us about 30,000. We will be able to afford the wedding/honeymoon without having to take out a personal loan.

However, this means that we might have to live with my parents for a few months to save money before we go to find a place of our own. He likes the idea of living here together for a while becuase it will give us a chance to get organized and pack the things that we are going to take/get rid of the things we will not take. etc… plus, my parents would not charge rent of any kind.

The other option is to find somewhere to rent.. Is renting a better idea? I dont see how it is possible to save money for a home while renting.
Any suggestions would be helpful.
The price of the wedding COULD be less…the thing is that I have a HUGE family. My family alone (with moms side/dads side) consists of almost 200 people, and that does not include close friends of the family..or His family and friends … Most of the reception places that dont cost as much also are not big enough for the amount of people. The money part wouldnt go towards elaborate decorations etc… but to accomidate all the family

We have discussed changing the date but April 5th 2009 is a very special date…for both of us, for reasons both inside and outside of our relationship. So yes, the date COULD be moved, but we’d prefer it if it didnt have to be.

I have been saving tons of money in the past couple of months but now whenever I’m out I think, “Oh, I have a lot of money saved I can afford this and that” And then I end up spending more then I should have. How do I keep motivated to continue saving and not spend it?

I’m pretty bad when it comes to saving money. It’s better than it was before, but still pretty bad. I’ll save then run out in my checking and go online and transfer money from my savings. I don’t know why I don’t have more discipline.

What are some tips on saving?

And please, if you’re aren’t going to post something helpful then please don’t post.
