Zero Percent Balances for Home Improvement

Our lives are not all fun in the sun, is it? After my girl and I passed a full week away from reality on our vacation, it was time for the two of us to confront our real lives again. From exorbitant interest rates on our credit cards and our car loan to house projects left incomplete, we had our work cut out for us. And you know, I’m persistent old dog, so I wasn’t quitting on my gps plan, either.

The first thing we did was address 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 good job isolating the optimum deal by finding low interest auto credit and low interest credit cards.

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

Next we had to address a number of household improvements we had been designing for quite some time. Some may suppose we have no business investing in improvements 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.

Gratefully, 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 Handheld. Speaking of GPS, we both agree it is time to invest in a bluetooth GPS receiver.

I believe GPS technology has refined enough and become inexpensive enough that we need to integrate it into our life.

I’m only allayed my wife and I are on the same page for most of this stuff. People’s lives can be so much more difficult when the individuals around you use our problems as launching places for their pride rather than opportunities to unify and mature.
