As you guys know, I got engaged last year and I’m currently planning a wedding with my fiance Tunji. I would say that we “officially” started planning for our wedding in April. Since then, I started to create spreadsheets to categorize everything and we found ourselves talking more about our budget, long-term and short-term financial goals that we want to achieve together and separately.
For today’s post, I want to share 5 ways we have been saving money as a couple:
- Set common goals that we both can work towards. Right now that is our wedding and saving toward a downpayment on our future house.
- We automate transfers to our savings accounts so we have no excuse to forget. It also helps to schedule on payday.
- Cancel unnecessary and duplicate subscriptions
- We have monthly or weekly money dates to review our goals and budget
- We try to plan dates that don’t require us to spend money. It’s all about balance.
What tips have used in your relationship? Let me know below!
Yours Truly,
Yinka
