Saving 20% or more is ideal if you can do it.


I think he should get married, he just have to stay away from making babies for a while.


 Don't let that chick go away.  It's hard to be in a good financial situation, meanwhile time flies, y no perdona.  If there's real love, both head should think better than one.


Don't worry about a big fancy party.


Listen to the song: Ligia Elena ( de Blades).

It sucks to have 1 month like this, when you always pay your bills on time and have money to spend....and then suddenly you're broke....it feels "depressing".....in a way.....


Then again...if I was getting married in Cuba and had just bought a place....i would be broker than broke too.....LOL
