Back from Hiatus

November 6th, 2007 at 06:53 pm

Got married in July. Now I'm getting finances back in order. We went over budget. A LOT over budget, and it is hurting. Well..., not literally, but it wiped out at least half a year of savings. Luckily we were able to spread out the pain thinly over the year, so it didn't seem that it was hurting us too much. I've been not spending any money on anything frivolous over the last two months, and it has paid off...somewhat. But then came last month. (We) did some major spending:

New Luggage: $300
Purses: $300
Laptop for my wife: $1200
Wedding Album, Last Payment: $900
Wedding Family Loan Payment: $1000

I always allow myself to buy something "big" each year:

2004: New Computer - $1100
2005: New Laptop - $1300
2006: 40" LCD TV - $700

This year I think I'm passing on that.

    We got married last July and we also ran though a lot of money. Not so much on the wedding (although probably there too, but I wasn't as aware of it), but for like 7 months afterward as we were transitioning from single college kids to married adults. Thankfully things do settle down!

    Congrats!
