My Life, My Credit
April 29, 2010 | In: General
Our lives are not all fun and silliness, is it? After my wife and I spent a full week away from reality 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 household projects left incomplete, we had our work lined up for us. And you know, I’m tenacious old dog, so I was not giving up on my gps plan, either.
The first thing we did was address the credit cards. Gratefully, even in this time of difficult credit, credit card companies and auto loan agencies seem anxious to please people with good credit. My wife did a great job isolating the best deal by finding great auto credit tips and low interest credit cards.
I’m thankful somebody 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 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 might suppose we have no business investing in improvements 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.
Gratefully, she’s being either supportive or tolerant of my small 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 invest in a bluetooth GPS receiver.
I believe GPS technology has refined enough and grown cheap 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. Life can be so much more difficult when the people around you use your problems as launching points for their pride rather than opportunities to unite and mature.
