Your Personal Best

Your life isn’t all fun in the sun, is it? After my wife and I spent a full week away from reality on our vacation, it was time for us to confront reality. From exorbitant interest on our credit cards and our auto loan to home plans left incomplete, she and I had our work lined up for us. And you know, I’m determined old dog, so I wasn’t giving up on my GPS project, either.

First we tackled 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 zero percent balance transfer credit cards.

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

Then we had to address a number of home improvements we had been designing for quite some time. Some might suppose we have no business investing in betterments at this time, but what can I say? We prefer to obstinately 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 tolerant of my trivial gadget fixation. I’m not too bad about it, but I have my weakness. Currently 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 tech has evolved enough and grown inexpensive enough that we need to integrate it into our life.

I am only relieved my girl and I are on the same page for most of this material. People’s lives can be so much more challenging when the people around them use your troubles as launching points for their pride instead of opportunities to unify and mature.
