Getting Away From Life to Get Back In It

October 12, 2010 | By Kenny In everyday | Comments(0)

Life isn’t all fun in the sun, is it? After my wife and I spent a good week away from the real world on our vacation, it was time for the two of us to confront reality. From high interest on our credit cards and our car loan to household plans left unfinished, we had our work cut out for us. And I’m tenacious old dog, so I wasn’t quitting on my GPS plan, 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 eager to please people with good credit. My wife did a great job isolating the best deal on the best 0 percent balance transfer credit cards.

I’m thankful someone in the household has some responsible sense of our financial situation… and it sure as heck isn’t me. But the lower interest and lower monthly bills should really supply us a little extra breathing room.

Then we had to discuss a number of home betterments we had been designing for quite some time. Some might say we have no business investing in improvements at this time, but what can I say? We prefer to obstinately press onward.

My wife has been looking over the different available steam showers and we both agree on the bathroom lighting 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 little gadget obsession. 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 Golflogix GPS by Garmin. Speaking of GPS, we both agree it is time to invest in a bluetooth GPS receiver.

I think gps tech has evolved enough and grown inexpensive enough that we need to incorporate it into our life.

I am just relieved my wife and I are on the same page for a majority of this stuff. Life can be so much more problematic when the souls around you use your problems as launching points for their pride instead of chances to unite and grow.
