I always spend some time after a celebration to analyze all my expenses. It is a good way for me to see whether all the money spent was actually wasted or whether it was well justified. It also provided a way for me to get a feel of where my money is going.
Getting married was the biggest event of my life thus far, and with it came many big expenses. I have not gotten around to figuring out everything yet but I will be sure to share that with all of you so stay tuned.
Today, I just want to talk about Valentine’s Day since we just passed it. For many, it usually involves flowers, gifts, and dining out which translate to transferring much of our money to other people’s pockets. Thinking about the years passed makes me wonder how much I really spent on this wonderful but expensive day of the year.
My conversations with others give me the feeling that the only way to celebrate Valentine’s Day is with activities and gifts involving money. However, this is of course not true! There are many ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day without breaking the piggy bank. Examples include a very romantic dinner at home, or a nice walk on the beach at night.
Having said that, here’s a poll for everyone:

I spent less than $6 yesterday, but we had a really great time. Enjoyment isn’t proportional to how much money you spend.
I enjoy going to a curbside flower sale and purchasing a rose with my wife
Yes, we’re different

It’s fun to set a limit and let the creative juices flow. A home-made gift that wows your partner is just as if not better than store bought goods.
We spent $10 to $15 on each other on Valentine’s Day.
