Your life isn’t all fun and silliness, is it? After my girl and I spent a good week away from reality on our vacation, it was time for the two of us to confront our real lives again. From high interest on our credit cards and our auto loan to household projects left unfinished, we had our work cut out for us. And I’m persistent old dog, so I wasn’t quitting on my gps project, either.

First we tackled the credit cards. Gratefully, even in this time of tough 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 the best 0 percent balance transfer credit cards.

I’m thankful someone in the house has some sure sense of our finances… and it sure as heck is not me. But the lower interest and smaller monthly bills should genuinely provide us a little extra breathing room.

Then we had to handle a number of household improvements we had been designing 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 obstinately push 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 bedding tips, we’re no longer on the same page for the new bedding.

Thankfully, 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 handheld tv, DVD projector or a Garmin Golflogix GPS. Speaking of GPS, we both agree it is time to develop a better understanding of a GPS vehicle tracker for our vehicle safety.

I think GPS technology has refined enough and become 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 most of this material. People’s lives can be so much more challenging when the souls around you use our problems as launching places for their pride rather than opportunities to unify and grow.
