As a young married couple in college, money can be a finite resource. It's tough to think about going out to dinner and a movie when you're trying to figure out how to purchase your textbooks. To make the most of your experience and to not let the stress of money effect your marriage, you'll want to stretch every dollar as far it can go. Thanks to the internet, every product and necessity can be found online, most likely for a fraction of the price they sell for in stores. We've identified four areas where you can save money—hopefully freeing up enough to squeeze in a date night once a semester.

Over the years, I’ve always enjoyed collecting beautiful antique books. My first acquisition was a 1937 edition of Margaret Mitchells', Gone With the Wind, although its first printing was in 1936, fiddle dee dee and la di da! I’ll think about that tomorrow. It is a prized possession. Books are meant for reading, but they also can be quite decorative and provide visual interest in your home.

Bookshelves, bookcases, mantels, hutches, side tables, coffee tables and tops of dressers and cabinets are all appropriate places for displaying wonderful books. Placement will, of course, always be determined by their size and shape.
