Morning Roundup

A couple interesting pieces I found this morning that are worth sharing:

• How to Take a Cake Knife to Wedding Costs -- By cutting so many corners, Ms. Brickley and Mr. Hope, who live in Manhattan, sliced a zero off the average cost of a New York City wedding — $3,500 versus the $35,000 estimated by the Wedding Library, a Manhattan planning service.

• Sick economy has patients skimping -- The ailing economy is leading many Americans to skip doctor visits, skimp on their medicine and put off mammograms, Pap smears and other tests. And physicians worry the result will be sicker patients who need costlier treatment in the long run.

Seems like saving money is back in vogue, huh?

Thanks for the Wedding Cost link - I forwarded it to my sister (whom I blogged about today regarding ring shopping/deals) for inspiration!
