<prompt> Human: I need help to save for my wedding in August of 2017. Im a private in the marine corps currently in Florida for my aviation mechanics school. We get paid on the 1st and the 15th every month and my paycheck averages around 550. I want to pay for this without having to use a credit card or loan. What other information do you need to help me?  <response>: The easiest way to save money is not to spend it in the first place. At your income, I wouldnt even bother having a ceremony with more guests than you can count on two hands. You just cant afford it.
