Cut Debt to Get On With Life

Your life isn’t all fun in the sun, is it? After my girl and I passed a full week away from the real world on vacation, it was time for the two of us to confront our real lives again. From exorbitant interest rates on our credit cards and our car loan to home projects left incomplete, we had our work lined up for us. And I’m stubborn old dog, so I was not quitting on my gps plan, either.

The first thing we did was address the credit cards. Thankfully, even in this time of difficult credit, credit card companies and auto loan bureaus seem anxious to please people with good credit. My wife did a great job isolating the optimum deal on a zero percent credit card.

I’m thankful someone in the household has some sure sense of our financial situation… and it sure as heck isn’t me. But the lower interest and smaller monthly bills should genuinely furnish us a little extra breathing room.

Next we had to address a number of home betterments we had been designing for quite some time. Some might suppose we have no business investing in improvements at this time, but what can I say? We prefer to pig-headedly 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 small 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. Speaking of GPS, we both agree it is time to invest in a gps receiver with bluetooth.

I believe gps technology has refined enough and become inexpensive enough that we need to integrate it into our life.

I’m only assuaged my girl 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 them use your problems as launching points for their pride rather than opportunities to unify and mature.
