kinda busy weekend
So in our current situation, (paying 2 mortagages), my husband has been trying to figure out some ways for us to cut down some of our expenses. Decided to take the Harley down to the shop and see if we could trade it in on something else or maybe consign it down there. He decided to trade it in on an '07 police escort bike. Our payments will be a little over a hundred dollars less per month. I keep trying to suggest small ways we can save money but I get the feeling he doesn't really want to try most of them. Things like getting rid of cable, we rarely watch tv, he mostly watches movies that we own. Also thought we could quit playing WOW. It costs us a little less than $30.00 per month which adds up over a year-he hasn't played in several months, but again, he doesn't want to do that either...I can't seem to convince him that those few dollars a month that just trickle away do add up and we would notice a savings over time. He wants to go for the big stuff, try to cut payments in half, that kind of thing. We did pay off our Shell gas card and he shredded it so thats good. We have some other credit cards as well. one for Lowe's and one for Home Depot-they each have $300.00 dollar limits and we should be able to pay them down fairly quickly-plus we want to use them to fix up the house in Spanaway. I really want to take pictures of how bad that place looks before we get much further cleaning it up-maybe post some of them here-it's pretty disgusting-and it reeks of cat pee and mice and I don't know what all...my eyes start burning as soon as we walk in and by the time we leave my throat is burning too. I'm sure getting the carpet pulled out will make a huge difference.
