Suite Caroline Talks about Expenses

I have had 4 TEETH PULLED in the past few months. It is so painful. It also makes it hard to sing because I have to get used to new spaces in my mouth! It is all part of making my teeth pretty . . . eventually . . . I’m sure braces will be involved here soon. I heard my mom talking to the doctor about it and I couldn’t believe how much they cost!

Check out these crazy stats from 2004 – yea like 6 years ago and it’s still crazy!!! We’re talking thousands for braces! TOTAL SHOCK! http://www.archwired.com/HowMuchDoBracesCost.htm

We also went to a wedding over the weekend. And I heard the mother of the bride talking about how much the flowers cost. I couldn’t believe that either!

Just because I was curious, I also looked up wedding flowers! Again – it’s pretty nuts. http://weddings.lovetoknow.com/wiki/How_Much_Do_Wedding_Flowers_Cost

So, now this has got me thinking about all of the expenses I will be facing one day. When I went to the mall yesterday, I decided not to buy a new shirt. I thought that maybe if I think about all of my purchases that way, then I’ll have more money saved for important expenses in the future.

And besides, I want to have pretty flowers at my own wedding one day.
