Zero Percent Balances for Home Improvement
Our lives are not all fun in the sun, is it? After my wife and I passed a full week away from reality on vacation, it was time for the two of us to face the music. From exorbitant interest on our credit cards and our auto loan to home plans left pending, she and I had our work cut out for us. And I’m stubborn 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 anxious to please people with good credit. My wife did a good job isolating the best deal by finding great car credit tips and low interest credit cards.
I’m grateful someone in the household has some responsible sense of our financial situation… and it sure as heck is not me. But the lower interest and lower monthly bills ought to really provide us some breathing room.
Then we had to address a number of house improvements we had been planning for quite some time. Some might say we have no business investing in betterments at this time, but what can I say? We prefer to stubbornly push forward.
My wife has been looking over the different available 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 bedsheets, we’re no longer on the same page for the new bedding.
Thankfully, she’s being either supportive or patient of my little 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 invest in a bluetooth GPS receiver.
I think GPS tech has refined enough and become cheap enough that we need to incorporate it into our life.
I am only relieved my wife and I are on the same page for most of this material. Life can be so much more challenging when the souls around them use our problems as launching places for their pride instead of opportunities to unite and grow.
