Since most brides begin planning their weddings at least a year in advance, January is the perfect time to make those financial resolutions that can lead to balance and a perfect wedding budget. And remember: the longer you begin making those plans for the wedding, the longer you will have to save in order to make them a reality.
Last-minute planning often leads to financial heartache. There have been many brides who simply overextend their dreams and then overextend their bank accounts as well. But with advance planning--and advance saving--most wedding dreams can be fulfilled and financed at the same time.
Put January to work for you by starting early. Set aside money each week (or each month) for some of those honeymoon goals, or decor needs, or even for that down payment on a house. The longer you stretch toward your goal, the greater the odds of achieving it.
Toward this end, think of it as paying yourself first, or tipping yourself first, or even setting aside gratifications now for greater rewards later. You are your greatest investment.
