Finance pay car off first or save for wedding?!? Help!!

MARIA, on December 8, 2020 at 1:58 PM Posted in Planning 0 12
First off i would like to thank you for your time and all opinions are welcomed. Because of covid my September wedding 2020 turned into 2021. Next year if everything goes well i should be able to pay my car off by August. I just cleared up other bills so everything I'm saving from that i had planned on using for our wedding. My thing is because of covid and everything I'm debating if i should just use that money and pay off my car way sooner and then start saving everything after that. Or should i keep it as is making my normal payments and save everything for the wedding. I asked my FH and he said it was my money my decision😑 not very helpful. So please anyone. I'd like to hear your opinions. Thank you!!!

    If it was me I would definitely pay my car off first, if not your interest will keep building! If you paid your car off earlier, you would actually save some money!

    Pay your car off first. Whatever you have leftover, you adapt your wedding vision to fit the finances you have.

    I'd pay the car off first as well. One less payment to worry about is always a good thing

    Car first. You’ll sleep better with less financial burden.

    I agree with the others. I would pay off the car. It saves you money in the long run with the interest. Also, if you end up not being able to save enough for the wedding, you can always cut back on things.

    I would like to thank you all lovely ladies for your opinions. I made my decision and will be paying off my car first. As one of you said at that point i should accommodate my wedding to my remaining budget and i agree. So thank you!!! 💖
