Life isn’t all fun in the sun, is it? After my girl and I passed 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 car loan to home projects left unfinished, she and I had our work lined up for us. And I’m persistent old dog, so I was not quitting on my GPS plan, either.

First we addressed the credit cards. Thankfully, even in this time of difficult credit, credit card companies and auto loan bureaus seem eager to please individuals with good credit. My wife did a great job isolating the optimum deal on zero percent credit cards

I’m grateful someone in the house has some sure sense of our finances… and it sure as heck isn’t me. But the lower interest rate and lower monthly bills should really supply us a little extra breathing room.

Next we had to handle a number of household betterments we had been designing for quite some time. Some may say we have no business investing in betterments at this time, but what can I say? We prefer to stubbornly push 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 patient 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 Garmin Golflogix GPS-8. Speaking of GPS, we both agree it is time to invest in a bluetooth GPS receiver.

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

I am only allayed my wife and I are on the same page for a majority of this stuff. People’s lives can be so much more challenging when the people around them use our problems as launching points for their pride instead of chances to unite and grow.
