Money

I just got engaged and we are both young. We have decided to wait a couple of years to get married, because we want to get some college done(if not all) and save as much money as we can. My question is...what is the average cost to live per year for 2 people renting or owning? We live in Florida if that helps. I am trying to get other people`s opinion to see what a good goal for us is before we get married

What I would suggest to you is to do some reserach in your area. Cost of living really varies by city sometimes. So, I would suggest getting online and donig an apartment search or just calling some complexes in town and find out how much monthly rent is. That is at least a start. Then ask people in town that you know about typical costs of power, water, etc. It would be virtually impossible for anyone to give you a number that would be good for you. I can tell you that here where I live in MI it costs about $15,000 for two just-out-of-college student who don`t require a lot of pizzazz. Hope I helped a little bit.
