While planning my marriage, I found that there weren’t many helpful resources available to help us determine how much we should be spending on various items. I decided to track our expenses to determine how much we were spending and how that money was being spent in an effort to make this info available to others. This dashboard is a product of my data collection and categorization. I hope someone somewhere finds this information useful.

Engagement Ring Shopping
While I was shopping for engagement rings – one of the most nerve-racking things that I have ever done, considering how much I analyze things and how perfect I wanted it to be – I didn’t find a lot of helpful, objective information. Most of the resources available came from the diamond and wedding industry, and I was trying to find resources that were not aiming to take advantage of unsuspecting customers. The best resource I found is this post by Ramit Sethi on his site I Will Teach You To Be Rich.
