Go on a picnic and invite all your friends to come all bringing enough food for themselves "plus a little". Then share everything and play some fun games.

Neasha, I hope my comments weren't considered offensive. You can appreciate that it is impossible to know your particular situation based on a one sentence question. I was simply trying to suggest a way to remedy the situation on the longer term, if your financial situation was a chronic one, which it clearly isn't. We too decided that caring for our 2 children with my wife as a stay-at-home mom was the right way to go despite the obvious financial strains that this encumbers. If that's old fashioned, so be it. The kids are now in their twenties and still somewhat dependent but that's another story;-)

That said, others have made suggestions of the type that you were seeking so I will close with wishing you a wonderful anniversary, hoping that it will be a memorable one. Good luck in the future. Things will work themselves out.

Commit to meeting with a government-run financial planner who will assist you in getting yourself out of this predicament so that on your next milestone anniversary, you'll be able to do something special without asking how.

Not knowing your particular situation, I don't know how or why you've ended in poverty. Was it due to a totally unexpected major event or have you been more or less broke for as long as you can remember? Either way, you need to dig yourself out so start "shoveling" (figuratively speaking)tomorrow and look forward to a brighter future.

As for celebrating your 10th, remember it's the thought that counts. Treat your spouse with a nice candlelit (dollar store)home-made meal prepared by YOU and tell her that your 15th anniversary will be celebrated in a nice restaurant. That will be sweet music to her ears. Have a happy anniversary.

Being broke is not the reason to not celebrate 10 years of living together and loving each other...that is all that is needed...eat a good supper and snuggle and celebrate your life with each other...money means absolutely nothing when compared to love and or health...keep that in mind for the rest of your lives...HAPPAY ANNIVERSARY to you both from an old broad who has been around the block and back! (: I eralize this is an older post but had to interject!

If you have a car. Go for a ride, stop at a beautiful area, get out of your car and go walking for a while. Enjoy the scenery and each others presence.

*Walking in dreams, indicate reminiscing. to think on things.

With that, you should know that walking with your loved one, indicates that thoughts are on each other. it is a beautiful time of year to see the world around you. We only have so many setting suns, so many sunrises, so many moons to view; i say, make them memorable. You don't need money at all.

Once again I thank you for your tips. as it ended up, We actually worked together on a real life job on our anniversary!! (first job in about 6 months that was worth counting), ate dinner with family, left the kids with them for the night and headed to the beach with some wine, had a fire, and slept in our car haha! it was nice. We figured if we want to do something a little more elaborate when we have the money there is no reason why we cant celebrate our 10 year and 6 month anniversary, right? As long as were together, we are happy. I should have remembered that before stressing about what to do. =)
