My Life, My Credit
Filed Under miscellaneous
Your life isn’t all fun and silliness, is it? After my wife and I spent a full week away from reality on vacation, it was time for us to confront our real lives again. From high interest rates on our credit cards and our car loan to home plans left pending, we had our work cut out for us. And you know, I’m persistent old dog, so I was not giving up on my GPS project, either.
First we tackled the credit cards. Thankfully, even in this time of tough credit, credit card companies and auto loan agencies seem anxious to please people with good credit. My wife did a good job isolating the optimum deal by finding low interest auto credit and low interest credit cards.
I’m grateful someone in the house has some responsible sense of our finances… and it sure as heck isn’t me. But the lower interest rate and lower monthly bills ought to really 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 might suppose we have no business investing in betterments at this time, but what can I say? We prefer to obstinately push 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 encouraging or patient of my trivial gadget obsession. I’m not too bad about it, but I have my weakness. Presently I have narrowed it down to a portable 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 refined enough and grown inexpensive enough that we need to integrate it into our life.
I’m only relieved my girl and I are on the same page for a majority of this stuff. People’s lives can be so much more challenging when the souls around them use your troubles as launching places for their pride instead of opportunities to unite and grow.
