duas for everyone. this has been
such a rough year
sighhh... getting married in a bad economy sucks so bad. my fiance might lose his job even after this lehman stuff clears up. how am i going to rent a stage setup for the wedding, for $600? (also, why the hell should a stage cost $600...) i don't even have that much in the bank right now. plus the bride and groom's chairs. probably another few hundred. cuz yeah money grows on trees.
and i'm so freakin' scared to start off married life as a broke student in debt.
and everyone (friends/fam/in-laws) and their monkey wants to (actually, expects to) be fed and showered with gifts and favors and crap...and nobody gives a flying green crap about the couple themselves.
i cut out the facial i wanted to get the day before my wedding, the flower centerpieces, the relaxing spa day i wanted to have before my wedding day, the manicure/pedicure i wanted to get before my mehndi, i'm making the flower necklaces myself with discount flowers i'm buying at a gas station, and i cut my shopping stuff for our apartment in half to save $ but it's not enough, so i'm looking at clearance items for my registry
...my friend is throwing me a bridal shower but making me pay for the food we're serving (it's at my house) and the decorations. that seems like...weird to me. wth i don't have any more money to throw at you hungry ppl
Re: Female Personal Hygiene
, I would say please don't let anyone talk you into co-signing. I have many acquaintances that have gotten into major trouble with giving handouts to relatives all the time and of course 99% of the time they never get paid back. I have an acquaintance who has so many bills that he/she needs to pay them using credit and other tactics and sometimes pays late bc he/she isn't very well off. He/she used a relative's credit card (with permission) to get his/her bill-paying done but in the process almost ruined the relative's credit. I also saw some show on Oprah about extreme cases where one sister was supporting the other almost 100% since she "loaned" her money all the time and never got paid back. After a short time the sister giving the money pretty much had none left for herself and was always worrying about her own bills. The point of the show was to come in with an intervention and tell the moocher, "get a stable job! Find another source of money and stop expecting your sister/mother/child/friend to pay your bills!"
