Life, Credit, GPS and Home Improvement
Life isn’t all fun in the sun, is it? After my girl and I spent a full week away from the real world on our vacation, it was time for us to confront reality. From exorbitant interest on our credit cards and our car loan to household projects left pending, she and I had our work lined up for us. And you know, I’m determined 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 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 optimum deal by finding great car credit tips and low interest credit cards.
I’m grateful someone in the house has some responsible sense of our finances… and it sure as heck is not me. But the lower interest and smaller monthly bills ought to genuinely supply us some breathing room.
Then we had to handle a number of family improvements we had been designing 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 pig-headedly 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.
Gratefully, she’s being either supportive or tolerant of my trivial gadget obsession. 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 dog gps collar for our dog’s safety.
I believe GPS tech has evolved enough and become inexpensive enough that we need to integrate it into our life.
I’m only assuaged my girl and I are on the same page for most of this material. People’s lives can be so much more difficult when the people around them use our problems as launching points for their pride rather than opportunities to unify and grow.
