Scary? . . . No Way!

If the mere mention of the word “budget” makes your hands clammy and puts a look of terror on your face, you are not alone!

Do not fear! Tim and Lisa are here to help you better understand the term “budget.”

Like other techy words, the word “budget” can result in confusion and dread.

Here is a not-so-scary definition of a budget:

A budget is the limit to money that you are allowing yourself to spend on a goal and your plan for reaching that goal on the monetary allowance you have given yourself.

Instead of thinking of a budget as scary, try thinking of it as a game, a puzzle, or a fun challenge.

When we planned our wedding on a budget of just $2,000, we thought of it as a game:

First, we set the rules of the game:

Plan the wedding of our dreams without spending any more than $2,000.

Then, we set out to develop our strategy for accomplishing the goals of the game.

We were very successful and had over a hundred dollars left in our budget on the day of the beautiful wedding of our dreams!

We realized that our strategy would work for anyone who wants to apply it so we wrote a book to help other engaged couples reach their goals of planning a wedding on a budget.

We have set up a website for our book. If you aren’t already there, go ahead and check the website out at www.weddingplanningonabudget.com
