| Here is what i have so far (my vision). I would like to do better with more specifics. I am looking for some advice. The best advice is free + i am young. -----1. Bank Account (Checking & Savings) with a maximum of $500.Reason: Direct Deposit, Bill Pay, and incase i need a loan.2. Emergency Fund (a minimum of $5000) for Survival.Reason:No Un-necessary Risks. I dont like the concept of incuring debt.3. Rainy-day Fund (1/6 of Leftover net worth) must be relatively liquid, low risk, and interest baring. Safe.Reason: I would like to save for a House Payments, Car Payments, Food, Clothing, Investments, and wedding ring (would like to get married some-day), and anything else worth mentioning.4. Stock Market Timing Fund - Because Dollar Cost Averageing at Lows in the Market, does better than just BUY and HOLD.5. Stock Market Investments - Long Term Confidence in the future. Reason: Finally, the real money maker! |

| first off i would be carefull with number 4. Timing the stock market is dangerous... no one can time it perfectly and that is a great way to lose everything. We recommend keeping 2 months worth bills in your checking, 2 months in savings.... and the rest needs to be gaining interest. At a young age i would highly recommend getting into a Roth IRA and putting the maximum away for retirement. If you have any more questions feel free to contact me via email and i can give more specifics. |

| Without risk there is no reward. I personally think stock market investing is the riskiest of all, Look to Mary Buffett's Buffettology for help in this area.I suggest you read the book --Rich Dad, Poor Dad. By Robert Kiyosaki.I think it will help you.Also, Free Advice is the worst advice. Why?Because the advice you'll generally recieve will put you in the lower middle class or poor catagory. Unless the person's rich.Take advice from a millionaire, then it's probably good advice. |

Everything About Your Wedding
Wedding Marketplace

Where and How to Start?
There’s so much to do, it can be mind-numbing. Don’t worry. I planned and held my first wedding in two months and my second wedding in three months. If you have the luxury of a year or more, feel lucky!
Wedding Invitation
Ideally, invitations should be mailed out 6-8 weeks before the big day to give guests time to make arrangements to attend and RSVP back to you.
Wedding Attire
Where I come from, buying a tuxedo is virtually unheard of. Renting is probably the way to go to realize the ultimate savings on the groom’s attire.
Wedding Flowers
Cheap doesn't mean that your wedding flowers can't be beautiful. All flowers are lovely no matter what they cost.
Wedding Ceremony Decoration
Most wedding ceremonies are short and sweet, so why spend a majority...
Wedding Music
Music for your wedding ceremony could consist of live or recorded performances.
Wedding Photography
Pictures are priceless, and you want to be sure you have plenty of good pictures of your special day.
Wedding Favors
Some brides don’t like the idea of giving gifts to her guests, but we think it’s a nice gesture as a thank you...
Wedding Food
Wedding food can take a huge chunk out of your wedding budget.
Wedding Cake
Your wedding cake is the centerpiece of the reception. It is a scrumptious dessert as well as part of a tradition
Wedding Party
The question of whether or not to serve alcohol at your wedding is one that can cause dissension in the ranks of family.
