Our lives aren’t all fun in the sun, is it? After my girl and I spent a good week away from reality on our vacation, it was time for the two of us to face the music. From high interest on our credit cards and our car loan to home plans left incomplete, she and I had our work lined up for us. And you know, I’m persistent old dog, so I wasn’t quitting on my GPS plan, either.
The first thing we did was tackle the credit cards. Thankfully, even in this time of difficult credit, credit card companies and auto loan agencies seem anxious to please individuals with good credit. My wife did a great job isolating the optimum deal on balance transfers to move our debt to cards with lower interest.
I’m thankful somebody in the house has some responsible sense of our financial situation… and it sure as heck isn’t me. But the lower interest rate and lower monthly bills should really furnish us a little extra breathing room.
Then we had to handle a number of family improvements we had been planning for quite some time. Some may suppose we have no business investing in improvements at this time, but what can I say? We prefer to stubbornly 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 bedding tips, we’re no longer on the same page for the new bedding.
Thankfully, she’s being either encouraging or patient of my trivial gadget obsession. I’m not too bad about it, but I have my weakness. Presently I have narrowed it down to a portable tv, DVD projector or a Garmin Golflogix GPS. Speaking of GPS, we both agree it is time to invest in a bluetooth GPS receiver.
I think GPS tech has evolved enough and grown inexpensive enough that we need to integrate it into our life.
I’m only allayed my wife and I are on the same page for a majority of this stuff. Life can be so much more challenging when the people around you use your problems as launching points for their pride instead of chances to unite and grow.
