It's aways a life concept for me to follow this golden rule: "Suffer(or work hard) first, happy(or freedom) later". Well, it being 2 years of resources (money) preparation...2 years of mental training...2 years of 'life changing' planning. Finally it almost come to an end. Am i ready to face the real 'married' life. Personally, resources is really getting on my nerve!! All the saving & planning prove to be not enough. In fact, after quite some time, my personal Stress-O-Meter given out warning sign already (will talk further on this).
The wedding preparation is really taking a toll in term of my financial planning. It started well in term of finance& planning. We had planned & agreed upon to have a simple wedding ceremony & receptions, but unfortunately, it end up 'grand' instead. Yup, peoples said, it just a matter of 'one time' thingy. Please la, this is our big day that you guys talking & gamble about. (IMHO, it's not a good long term investment too), I prefer spending our money according to our own mean. It's not that i won't spent much on it, but rather allocate those money for the honeymoon 0r holiday. I want to have extra cash on honeymoon with my BH, i want to have extra cash to save on stock or investments, & i want to have extra cash for my future child's education, etc. Sadly, all the reserved 'honeymoon' money had being used up for the 'overspent' or rather 'extra' incur marriage preparation. Hopefully that i don't have a 'sour face' throughout my wedding day.
Bottom line is... i don't want to have this type of mentality "Jolly-jolly first, & suffer(or pay up) later!"
