Grappling With Life’s Stresses
Our lives are not all fun and silliness, is it? After my wife and I spent a full week away from the real world on our vacation, it was time for the two of us to confront our real lives again. From high interest rates on our credit cards and our auto loan to household projects left pending, she and I had our work cut out for us. And I’m persistent old dog, so I was not giving up on my gps project, either.
The first thing we did was tackle the credit cards. Gratefully, even in this time of difficult 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 on the best 0 percent balance transfer credit cards.
I’m grateful 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.
Next we had to handle a number of home improvements we had been planning for quite some time. Some might suppose we have no business investing in improvements at this time, but what can I say? We prefer to pig-headedly push forward.
My wife has been looking over the different available steam showers and we both agree on the bathroom lights and modern 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 patient of my trivial gadget fixation. 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 technology has evolved enough and become inexpensive enough that we need to incorporate it into our life.
I’m just relieved my wife and I are on the same page for most of this stuff. Life can be so much more difficult when the individuals around them use our troubles as launching points for their pride rather than chances to unify and mature.
