Life, Credit, GPS and Home Improvement
Sunday, November 22nd, 2009 | Always Online
Life isn’t all fun and silliness, is it? After my girl and I passed a full week away from reality on vacation, it was time for the two of us to confront reality. From high interest rates on our credit cards and our auto loan to household plans left unfinished, she and I had our work cut out for us. And I’m stubborn old dog, so I was not quitting on my GPS project, either.
First we addressed the credit cards. Gratefully, 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 great job isolating the optimum deal on zero percent credit cards.
I’m thankful someone in the household has some sure sense of our financial situation… and it sure as heck isn’t me. But the lower interest and smaller monthly bills should really furnish us some breathing room.
Then we had to discuss a number of home betterments we had been planning for quite some time. Some may suppose we have no business investing in improvements at this time, but what can I say? We prefer to stubbornly press onward.
My wife has been looking over the different available a steam shower 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 small gadget fixation. 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 develop a better understanding of tracking vehicles with GPS for our vehicle safety.
I believe gps technology has refined enough and become cheap enough that we need to incorporate it into our life.
I am just assuaged my girl and I are on the same page for most of this material. People’s lives can be so much more challenging when the individuals around them use our troubles as launching points for their pride instead of opportunities to unite and grow.
