Omg, I just read wh
at Ramit Sethi posted about weddings and I just had a heart attack. According to him:
The average age at marriage is about 27 for men and 26 for women. We know that the average amount of a wedding is about $28,000. So, if you agree with this choice — and you don’t want to go into debt for your wedding — here’s how much you should be saving.
So by these calculations if I’m 23 I should be saving $583 a month. Yikes.
