Cut Debt to Get On With Life
Your life isn’t all fun in the sun, is it? After my wife and I passed a good week away from the real world on our vacation, it was time for us to face the music. From exorbitant interest rates on our credit cards and our car loan to house plans left pending, she and I had our work cut out for us. And I’m tenacious old dog, so I was not quitting on my GPS plan, 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 bureaus seem eager to please individuals with good credit. My wife did a great job isolating the best deal by finding great car credit tips and low interest credit cards.
I’m thankful someone in the household has some sure sense of our financial situation… and it sure as heck is not me. But the lower interest rate and smaller monthly bills ought to really furnish us a little extra breathing room.
Then we had to discuss a number of family betterments we had been designing 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 obstinately press forward.
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 bedsheets, we’re no longer on the same page for the new bedding.
Gratefully, she’s being either supportive or patient of my trivial gadget fixation. I’m not too bad about it, but I have my weakness. Currently I have narrowed it down to a handheld tv, DVD projector or a Garmin Golflogix GPS. Speaking of GPS, we both agree it is time to develop a better understanding of tracking vehicles with GPS for our vehicle safety.
I believe GPS technology has evolved enough and become cheap enough that we need to integrate it into our life.
I’m just relieved my wife and I are on the same page for a majority of this stuff. People’s lives can be so much more difficult when the souls around them use our problems as launching points for their pride instead of opportunities to unify and grow.
