2011 was a year of saving for the Landwehr's. The year before was a big spending year for us - a wedding and honeymoon (!), a new (used) car, etc. I wish we had a money tree!!

Our largest expense was a vacation to Hawaii - an early one year anniversary trip for us. It was fabulous and much needed and deserved. We both love to travel and budget our dollars for trips more than anything else.
We're also saving up as we hope to find a home to buy in the next few months. So, our financial priorities are a little different now than they might have been a year or two ago. I put myself on a shopping moratorium last year and I've been sticking with it for the most part.
I miss shopping terribly but I've held off and only purchased books for my Kindle and a pair of jeans. My mom took me shopping for my birthday but other than those few clothing items, I haven't made many other purchases. It helps that I don't need to dress up for work and that most of my clothes are classic and timeless so they haven't gone out of style (or at least I pretend that they haven't)!
Where have you saved or spent money? Do you think you'll change your ways in 2012?
