Credit Cards, Bathroom Sinks and More
Life isn’t all fun and silliness, is it? After my girl and I spent a full week away from reality on vacation, it was time for the two of us to face the music. From exorbitant interest on our credit cards and our auto loan to home projects left incomplete, she and I 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 tackle 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 good job isolating the best deal on the best zero percent balance transfer credit card.
I’m grateful someone in the household has some responsible sense of our financial situation… and it sure as heck is not me. But the lower interest rate and lower monthly bills should genuinely provide us some breathing room.
Next we had to discuss a number of family improvements 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 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 bedsheets, we’re no longer on the same page for the new bedding.
Thankfully, she’s being either encouraging 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 bluetooth GPS receiver.
I believe gps tech has evolved enough and become cheap enough that we need to integrate it into our life.
I am just assuaged my wife and I are on the same page for a majority of this stuff. Life can be so much more challenging when the individuals around them use our problems as launching places for their pride rather than opportunities to unite and mature.
