My Life, My Credit
Our lives aren’t all fun and silliness, is it? After my wife and I passed a good week away from the real world 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 household plans left unfinished, she and I had our work lined up for us. And I’m determined old dog, so I wasn’t 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 agencies seem anxious to please individuals with good credit. My wife did a great job isolating the best deal on the best zero percent balance transfers.
I’m grateful somebody in the household has some sure sense of our financial situation… and it sure as heck isn’t me. But the lower interest rate and smaller monthly bills should genuinely supply us some breathing room.
Next we had to discuss a number of family improvements we had been planning for quite some time. Some may say we have no business investing in improvements at this time, but what can I say? We prefer to pig-headedly push onward.
My wife has been looking over the different available steam showers and we both agree on the bathroom lighting 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.
Gratefully, she’s being either encouraging or tolerant of my small gadget obsession. 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 invest in bluetooth GPS receivers.
I think gps tech has refined enough and become inexpensive enough that we need to incorporate it into our life.
I am just assuaged my girl and I are on the same page for a majority of this stuff. Life can be so much more challenging when the individuals around you use our problems as launching points for their pride rather than opportunities to unify and mature.
