Reports show that less than a third of couples who plan a wedding that costs more than $10,000 save more than a couple of thousand dollars toward paying for it. Yet Weddings today can cost an average of $20,000 or more for the reception hall, caterer, flowers, decorations, Wedding gown, Rings, and don't forget the honeymoon. So how do you pay for all this extravagance?
1- Save for your wedding. Certificates of Deposits ( CDs) offer one option for short-term savings that offers higher returns on the initial investment. Having a regular savings plan to save as much unrestricted income as possible in the months preceding your wedding can help you to accumulate as little debt as possible. Saving coins and $1 bills in the months leading up to your wedding can add up too, perhaps contributing a decent down payment toward the honeymoon.
2- Talk to a representative at your financial institution. Many banks offer free advice to couples about budgeting, savings and purchasing a home. Inquire about a home equity loan to help cover wedding expenses. For engaged couples who may already own a home either individually or together, a home equity loan provides a flexible option for financing along with low interest rates.
3- Set a Realistic Budget. Be careful of hidden costs. Don't make the mistake of going over budget. Be prepared as a couple to compromise on many of the details. Consider using a combination of savings, paying out-of-pocket, home equity and credit cards to finance the cost.
4- Pay as you go in order not to incur debt. Even if you don't have a lot of excess cash, you can pay off many of the bills related to a wedding beforehand. Most vendors require a 50 percent deposit at the time that you place the order. this gets you halfway there from the start. And Remember, all cost are negotiable.
Most people don't realize that there are ways out there to save you money on your prescriptions without having to pay a ton for coverage. Here are 5 Ways in which you can save money.
1. Ask about Generic options
In most cases there is a Generic medication to go with the Name brand. This can save you lots on your prescriptions. Over 80% of drugs have cheaper Generic form. If it is a new drug you may have to wait at least 6 months for a Generic to come out, But do ask after you have been on it for awhile.
2. Look into Splitting Higher-Dose Pills
Pill splitting is based on the fact that many pills cost about the same even if they contain twice as much medication. Make sure to ask your physician if it is safe to split your medication and save.
3. Talk Openly with your Physician
Your Physician doesn't always know the costs and/or your healthcare plan. Make sure that you share the costs (if you know them...) and your healthcare plan with him/her so they can help prescribe which prescription is going to be best for you and your wallet.
4. Shop Around
Pharmacies don't all charge the same for prescriptions. Ask a few pharmacies and talk to your local one about the best price that you have found. Negotiate your price. Pharmacies want your business and want to keep you as a patient.
5. Look into Assistance Programs
Many if not all pharmaceutical companies provide their drugs at discounted prices and sometimes free. Check their websites or contact them directly. We have included one to help!
