Meeting someone and becoming a couple is a wonderful feeling. You begin sharing your time together and your love for each other, and as your relationship grows closer, you may move in together, which means sharing expenses.
Sure, it's nice when a guy asks you out on a date and offers to pay for dinner, but when it comes to being in a committed relationship, I'm a firm believer in sharing all the costs.

I am in a destination wedding this summer. My partner and I are going, and it is costing us over 1100 for airfare and the rooms are 800 per night (all inclusive). I tried to look at this as a vacation, but the more I think about it the more I know I would never choose this location as a vacation spot and am not excited about where it is and what we are spending the money on.

Due to the recession, most of us focus on how much we spend going about our daily lives, but we don't often budget for death, which can be very pricey. An increasing number of people are finding ways to decrease the cost of burying a loved one — they're holding DIY funerals.
Compared to the average cost of a funeral, which runs about $6,000, taking over part or all of the burial preparations can cost family members as little as $250.

I think we can all agree that the worst part of being in a wedding is the expense. Though traditionally wedding attendants pay for their own attire and travel expenses, that particular rule has never made much sense to me. Obviously in some cases, especially when it’s a large wedding party, expecting the bride and groom to pay seems unrealistic, but I just don’t know how I feel about this one.

WIth President Bush signing the $162 billion war funding bill yesterday combined with the news that the US spends $720 million a day in Iraq, it seems like this war has to be the spendiest ever by a long way.
Well, not yet it's not, and it's got a long way to go before it eclipses the most expensive war the US has ever waged. The brilliant Libertarian-pegged mag Reason (which I just picked up and cannot put down) has the cost of every major US conflict, translated to modern dollars.

Apparently there's a lot of cash to go around at insurance company AIG, which makes a lot of sense considering the US government cut the failing giant an $85 billion bailout check. In fact, since Sept. 16, AIG has received $123 billion in loans from the Federal Reserve.

In February, the US government mandated that doctors and healthcare providers create an Electronic Health Record (EHR) for every American by 2014. This new system, which healthcare providers and government officials can access when authorized, promises to make health care more efficient and less expensive. But there's a growing concern that the adoption of a central, online system could compromise patient privacy.

My boyfriend and I have been together for over a year now, and we've lived together for all but one month. (Yes, we moved quickly.) We have an amazing relationship, and we are very happy together, but I feel like I have always supported both of us. When I first met him, he was living off of ramen noodles and tap water.

In October's Vanity Fair, Levi Johnston says Sarah Palin asked to adopt his and Bristol's baby and keep it as her own. According to Levi:
"Sarah told me she had a great idea: we would keep it a secret — nobody would know that Bristol was pregnant. She told me that once Bristol had the baby she and Todd would adopt him.
