............................as my brother-in-law has said many times:...."any man can marry a 'poor-girl'.......it takes a smart man to marry a 'rich' one............
Advice: save, save, save!! Read up on basic personal finance and get to know frugal shopping....keep track for a month of EVERY SINGLE CENT YOU SPEND, then you will be stunned and find ways to cut back a bit.
I am not suggesting no-fun-for-you Just make firm decisions on how you spend your cash.
