My Life, My Credit

Your life isn’t all fun in the sun, is it? After my girl and I spent a good week away from reality on vacation, it was time for us to face the music. From high interest rates on our credit cards and our car loan to home plans left unfinished, we had our work cut out for us. And you know, I’m persistent old dog, so I was not quitting on my gps project, either.

The first thing we did was address the credit cards. Thankfully, even in this time of tough credit, credit card companies and auto loan bureaus seem anxious to please people with good credit. My wife did a great job isolating the best deal on refinancing our auto loan. This should compensate for my blunders with penny stock trading.

I’m grateful somebody in the house has some sure sense of our finances… and it sure as heck is not me. But the lower interest rate and smaller monthly bills should genuinely furnish us a little extra breathing room.

Next we had to discuss a number of household 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 obstinately 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 supportive or tolerant of my trivial gadget fixation. 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 dog gps collar for our dog’s safety.

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

I am just relieved my girl and I are on the same page for a majority of this material. Life can be so much more challenging when the people around them use your troubles as launching points for their pride rather than chances to unify and grow.
