Getting Away From Life to Get Back In It
Your life isn’t all fun in the sun, is it? After my wife and I spent a full week away from the real world on our vacation, it was time for us to face the music. From high interest rates on our credit cards and our car loan to house projects left unfinished, she and I had our work cut out for us. And I’m persistent old dog, so I wasn’t quitting on my GPS project, either.
First we addressed the credit cards. Thankfully, even in this time of tough credit, credit card companies and auto loan agencies seem eager to please people with good credit. My wife did a great job isolating the best deal on a zero percent credit card.
I’m grateful someone in the household has some responsible sense of our finances… and it sure as heck isn’t me. But the lower interest and smaller monthly bills should really supply us a little extra breathing room.
Then we had to address a number of home betterments we had been designing for quite some time. Some might say we have no business investing in betterments at this time, but what can I say? We prefer to stubbornly 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.
Thankfully, she’s being either supportive 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 bluetooth GPS.
I believe GPS technology has refined enough and become inexpensive enough that we need to incorporate it into our life.
I am 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 people around them use our problems as launching places for their pride rather than chances to unify and mature.
