Centsible Living

I'm about to get married. In 9 days I will lose the ability to play dumb and actually have to tighten my proverbial money belts. This was always the threat hanging over my head when it came to post-college graduation and marriage. I love my fiancee, and I love shopping. Unfortunately, I can't have both, so I choose a life of love and minimalism. Maybe one day I can have both, but I am hoping that my journey as a wife and as a responsible adult will help me to become an even smarter shopper, a wise manager of my family's money, and a wife my husband can trust with the credit card. If you're reading this blog, chances are you'd like to improve the financial aspect of your life, whether you're a bride or not.

I chose the name "Centsible Bride" because I am coming primarily from a female perspective. I am currently a bride, and even when I am a married woman I will still be a bride in my husband's eyes and Christ's eyes. If you're not engaged or married (or you're a guy), please don't let the name deter you.

My goal for this blog:

I hope to update with wise financial tips for everyday life, as well as special posts for those brides out there who want to save a pretty penny on their wedding costs. I make no claims to be an expert and this is a learning process for me as well, but I hope to make this particular blog a haven for those who want to share in knowledge about how to wisely save and spend their money. The American society is obsessed with consumerism, and I seek to counteract that obsession in my own life as well as others who are interested.

If you have anything to add to my posts, please leave a comment! Happy savings!
