My FIL wasn't too keen on us getting married so young so he told my hubby that we shouldn't get married until we had 10k saved. So, we did it in 6 months and then got engaged. :D It was easy at that time though, because we were both paying really cheap rent and had very few expenses. <BR/><BR/>I can't wait to hear more of your $$ saving tips - I am always looking for new ways to save. Another idea about the movies is that you can do movie swaps with friends who own lots of DVDs. I borrow a lot of DVDs from my friends and family members who own a lot of movies. It saves $ from renting and also gives your more options than watching the ones you own over and over again.Lucy Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09172695235913542465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8040202177440565595.post-60047293479728678992009-04-06T18:58:00.000-04:002009-04-06T18:58:00.000-04:00Leah- Haha!

We have BB online, but get impatient, rent one from the store and then return it waaaay late, as in over 10 bucks of late fees for almost every movie. eeek.The Ratpackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13722650061338439852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8040202177440565595.post-14429199376748170312009-04-06T13:14:00.000-04:002009-04-06T13:14:00.000-04:00Hah!

It's easy to save money when you have a goal in mind!<BR/><BR/>Since the summer is coming, instead of renting movies at night you and hubs can take an evening walk or do other (free) outdoor things that will distract you from the TV altogether :)Cristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15332501442278988873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8040202177440565595.post-5034208031185585872009-04-06T12:49:00.000-04:002009-04-06T12:49:00.000-04:00CONGRATS!!!

We are currently on only one income (military pay...so basically nothing) and we are planning on saving 20K this year. It has been so, so, so tight but will be totally worth it when we buy our house this fall!d.a.r.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06915354259913245831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8040202177440565595.post-19213512191860630182009-04-06T11:58:00.000-04:002009-04-06T11:58:00.000-04:00Congrats - what an exciting decision!

While it's tough at times, it was really nice to see our bank account grow! Since we're not doing the kitchen, we did spend a bit of the cash on new computers (ours were both over 5 years old) and our new bed frame. It was fun to splurge without going into debt or feeling guilty about it because we had planned to spend some of the money! <BR/><BR/>Anyways, I can't wait to hear more of your budgeting tips... I *heart* the redbox and might have to sign up for the Monday night movie texts!Jenhttp://homeinthecities.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
