Maybe its peaking my interest because the initial stages of married life make me feel like I am so focused on money its not even funny. It's like I am hyper-aware of what I am spending, what is going in and what is coming out and how much I am able to save. I talked to my sister about it and she laughed and agreed, its a weird feeling to combine your income and fianances with someone else's. Its an adjustment! Not a bad one but an adjustment just the same. I can't even say I'm really worried about money, I just feel like I THINK about it alot more than I did before. In some ways I feel a lot of pressure (from my self not my sweet husband), to pay off all of my loans because it feels like that is what I brought to the table...a whole lotta debt! We use a program called YNAB, which is a budget program that has helped us to visibly see where everything is going and kind of have a picture of what our money is doing for us. It makes me (and I think both of us actually) feel a little more in control and less crazy. Plus its like we are on the same page, which I like. :)
Anyway... I may or may not be picking up a few coupons and looking a little more carefully so I can get some money off our grocery bill. Let me tell you...groceries are getting a little ridiculous these days. So Safeway U plus, coupon ads...here I come :) At least a little bit.
