I Am 20 A New Mother And Planning My Wedding How Do I Do All That And Save Money For My Son ?
September 5, 2009
Well….I am turning 20 on 7/12…I have a 10 month old son as of tomorrow (he was born 9/1/06) and I plan on having a big, bold, and beautiful wedding! I know that right now I dont have the money, so my advice is to wait and save up. Figure out what it will cost to buy the gown and tux (if you’re not renting), bridesmaids and groomsmen can buy/rent their own, cake, food, etc… and just save. You could also ask your parents and inlaws if they are willing to help – no pressure. If not then you figure out what you are spending, how long will it take to save, and wait. You shouldn’t have to sacrifice what you want, but you may have to wait for it. Unless you want to get married tomorrow, I would wait. Hey…I am!
In the meantime, open an account for your son and deposit b-day money he gets, loose change, $5-$10 a week/month, whatever you can do. Money adds up over the years so you don’t have to do a whole lot right now. And when he/she turns 16 or so, he can start to save money too from his job.
