I make 1600 a month. I get paid the 15th and last day of every month (salary.) I also drive for my job, so I make at least 100 in between paydays to compensate for mileage driven. Total Income: 1800 at least.

Bills: Due by the 20th of every month

Gas/Elect (varies my fiance and I live in apt so not more than 60 split bw us- like in the wintertime)
Cable (75 a month split)
Car Payment (270 a month)
Car Insurance (90 a month)
Cell Phone (70 a month)

Bills I pay from my last paycheck of the month:

XM Radio 15 dollars
Rent 262.50 (I split that with fiance)
Birth Control 20 dollars


This doesn't include food or gas.

How much should I be saving every month for a wedding? My fiance has saved quite a bit and I need to follow in his footsteps but I need some assistance from you pros.

How should my budget look? I plan to get married in Fall of 2011.

Thanks! :D
ibu guru amazing answer!!
1800 is after tax.
AW! But I love my luxuries! I have unlimited texting that's why I pay 70 a month! Maybe I should get a second job.
