Camino Inca

Your life isn’t all fun and silliness, is it? After my girl and I spent a full week away from reality on our vacation, it was time for us to face the music. From exorbitant interest rates on our credit cards and our auto loan to home projects 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.

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

I’m thankful somebody in the house has some sure sense of our finances… and it sure as heck isn’t me. But the lower interest and lower monthly bills ought to genuinely furnish us some breathing room.

Next we had to handle a number of house improvements we had been planning 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 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 small gadget obsession. 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 technology has refined enough and become cheap enough that we need to integrate it into our life.

I’m just allayed my wife and I are on the same page for a majority of this stuff. People’s lives can be so much more difficult when the people around them use our troubles as launching points for their pride rather than opportunities to unify and grow.
