Cut Debt to Get On With Life
Your life isn’t all fun and silliness, is it? After my wife and I passed a full week away from reality on vacation, it was time for the two of us to confront our real lives again. From high interest rates on our credit cards and our auto loan to house projects left pending, she and I had our work cut out for us. And you know, I’m stubborn old dog, so I was not giving up on my GPS project, either.
The first thing we did was tackle the credit cards. Gratefully, even in this time of tough credit, credit card companies and auto loan agencies seem eager to please individuals with good credit. My wife did a good job isolating the best deal on a zero percent credit card.
I’m thankful someone in the house has some responsible sense of our finances… and it sure as heck is not me. But the lower interest rate and smaller monthly bills should genuinely supply us some breathing room.
Next we had to address a number of household improvements we had been planning for quite some time. Some may suppose we have no business investing in betterments at this time, but what can I say? We prefer to stubbornly press onward.
My wife has been looking over the different available steam showers and we both agree on the bathroom lights and bathroom sinks we want for our bathroom remodel, but after looking over some discount bedding tips, we’re no longer on the same page for the new bedding.
Thankfully, she’s being either encouraging or patient of my little gadget obsession. I’m not too bad about it, but I have my weakness. Presently I have narrowed it down to a handheld tv, DVD projector or a Garmin Golflogix GPS-8. Speaking of GPS, we both agree it is time to invest in a bluetooth GPS receiver.
I believe GPS technology has refined enough and grown inexpensive enough that we need to integrate it into our life.
I’m only relieved my wife and I are on the same page for most of this stuff. People’s lives can be so much more difficult when the individuals around you use our problems as launching points for their pride rather than chances to unify and grow.
