With a Wedding comes steps to Marriage, with marriage comes steps to everyday life so how can you start these on the right foot all within a budget.
A Budget is important in a marriage as Money is going to be the catapult for many wars in marriage
Conversation Budget Idea's
Talking and know what each other want and yes there may have to be compromises but this is all part of marriage and making it work. It won't always go one persons way you both need to compromise, but doing this early on will help with budgeting and being able to plan a bit better - but things don't always go to plan as well.
It can open yourself's up to looking at options you both may have never thought of.
- What will your Wedding Budget include - Wedding?, Honeymoon?, A roof over your heads?, Land?, Lifestyle?, Travel?, - These questions only you and your partner can answer together.
- How are you both going to pay for your budget, if your working how long you will take off?
- Where are you both going to live after you get married?
- Do you want kids, if so how will you raise them, who will work, how are you going to afford bills and kids?
There are many solutions and options for these questions and they don't need to be cookie cutter cut out answers also, you may want to ask all your quests that if they could help you both a few days before the wedding to all chip in and help with building a tiny house, with those that can help hammering, building, etc as a gift to you both, as this would help you's to have a home when you marry plus have it built with the ones you love carrying that into your home.
You may want to backpack around the world for a few years, working as you go, you may want to change your job and find something online or go into business.
Anything is possible you just need to know a base of what you want to do together, the plan you have may change as you go and you may fail a few times but that is all apart of learning and growing together, what makes a great marriage is lines of communication sometimes you may not want that communication but it's all apart of learning about each other and where to leave things be.
