So I've basically come to the realization that if I ever want to get married, I am going to have to take on a second job in addition to my full-time teaching position. Otherwise I don't know how I ever would ever be able to pay for a wedding and a life together with Dan. (And I'm not even talking about anything ridiculous... like right now, a simple wedding with a reception at a park or something.)
I don't have a savings account. I don't MAKE enough to have a savings account. My bills take up all of my paycheck. I usually have about $15.00 left in my account each month.
I don't even know how any of this works. How do you coordinate two lives who are not legally and religiously bound to FUND the means to secure this binding -- when both members of the party barely maintain a balanced budget??? (And not due to any ridiculous spending. Simply bills.) There is no surplus to put towards an engagement ring and wedding band unless they come from someplace like Claire's. (And I've posed that option to Dan. A ring from Claire's and a bottle of clear nail polish. It would work.)
Do you just take out a bank loan? Play the lottery? Just go to the courthouse? Elope to Vegas?
What do you do????

A conversation from class:
TAG Student: Ms. S I want to write a report for our radio show about James Bond.
Me: What? The ornithologist?
TAG Student: Huh? No, the spy. What's an ornithologist?
Me: It's the study of birds. Well, the requirements of this assignment are that you do a report on someone who is real. Ian Fleming got the name for James Bond the spy from an author of book about ornithology I'm not sure what information there is about James Bond the ornithologist.
TAG Student: ... Maybe I should pick a different person...
