Grappling With Life’s Stresses
October 31, 2009 by Jason58
Our lives are not all fun in the sun, is it? After my wife and I passed a good week away from reality on our 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 home projects left pending, she and I had our work cut out 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. Thankfully, even in this time of tough credit, credit card companies and auto loan bureaus seem eager to please individuals with good credit. My wife did a good job isolating the best deal on zero percent credit cards.
I’m grateful somebody in the household has some responsible sense of our finances… and it sure as heck is not me. But the lower interest and smaller monthly bills should genuinely provide us some breathing room.
Then we had to discuss a number of household betterments we had been planning for quite some time. Some may suppose we have no business investing in betterments at this time, but what can I say? We prefer to pig-headedly push onward.
My wife has been looking over the different available home 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 small 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 develop a better understanding of tracking vehicles with GPS for our vehicle safety.
I think gps technology has evolved enough and grown cheap enough that we need to incorporate it into our life.
I’m just assuaged my wife and I are on the same page for a majority of this stuff. People’s lives can be so much more problematic when the souls around you use your troubles as launching places for their pride instead of opportunities to unite and mature.
