August Net Worth: -9.74%

So it looks like after all the wedding expenses , a little post-wedding Honeymoon spending & household spending, my Net Worth has decreased by a little less than 10%.

As of right now, I think of that as a mixed blessing. The wedding expenses began to pop up out of nowhere during the last week of the engagement. At the same time it could have been much more expensive than it was. I think our aggressive bargain-shopping helped us out.

My wife and I just went to a wedding this weekend that had at least 300 people in total (ours had about 180 guests) and it boggled my mind how much everything must have cost. My wife initially told me that the couple was paying for the wedding themselves. Afterwards though she informed me that the groom's parents had picked up the tab for the fairly lavish reception. My guess is the reception alone was in the low 5-digits and that's with no alcohol and no DJ.

In other news my wife just got a decent-paying job however, after the first week, she came to the determination that she hates the work environment with a passion. I almost passed out this weekend when she said she was planning on quitting [Today]. Luckily I talked her out of it and she is back on the job hunt, while still gainfully employed (whew).

Now, if only I can get my computer running again along with a reliable schedule - I'll be set.

Back from the honeymoon...

So I've returned from the honeymoon. Now I'm a married man.

I think it might take some adjusting, getting used to the married life and what not. Hopefully we'll be able to learn to compromise although we're both a tad on the stubborn side.

I guess I also need to touch up on my English 101 - recent and not-so-recent typo's and mistakes are being noted. Needless to say I was not an English major but, I like to write. Is that wrong? I hope not.

The finances will be OK for at least a little while due to some thoughtful (cash) wedding gifts. Now it's just a matter of refocusing on goals again - a vacation on an island tends to make one 9me) forget.
