For the affluent couple planning a lavish six-figure
wedding, the declining economy will have little effect on
their wedding spending, but for the rest of us budget-minded
folk, our failing economy and the uncertainty of a stable
financial future can mean drastic cut-backs in wedding spending.
Planning a wedding on a shoestring budget, however, doesn't
have to mean skipping the day of your dreams altogether.
Here are some tips on how to save a few dollars, but still
have a wedding to impress. |
The Homebuyer Tax Credit ends April 30, 2010! It provides
for an $8,000 tax credit for first-time homebuyers, as well
as $6,500 to current homeowners seeking to relocate. With
the 2010 wedding season in full swing, extension of the
tax credit couldn't come at a better time for newly engaged
couples considering their first home purchase together.
This tax credit is a "true" credit. It does not
have to be repaid unless the home owner sells or stops using
the home as their principal residence within three years
after the purchase. Additionally, the tax credit is “refundable,”
meaning that you will receive the tax credit regardless
your refund status at tax time. Home ownership and income
limitations apply.
