gazerwolfYa know. I lead a pretty boring life.
Don't get me worng...this has it's good points.
No phone calls from bill collectors...
None of my relatives fighting in the next room..
Very little of my relatives begging for money... (That's because we finally convinced them that we are POOR.) (Thankfully we aren't as poor as they think we are)
No Drama.
For the most part the boys are well behaved...they rarely give us trouble in public...(they tend to be a BIT wild when no-one but ifamily is around...but hey.)
My job is nice and steady work...which I can take all the breaks I want and catch up later...setting your own schedule for work rocks.
For the first time since my father died we have money to handle emergency situations (See the above statement about moochiing relatives)
We've managed to stay in one place for more than a couple of years. (relatives again...both trouble making and lack of rent payments)
You want a simple pleasure that means a lot to me...
Being in a store and saying, "Hey...I'd llike that." Turning to my wife to see if we can afford it and getting back a "Why not."

starsongky has worked miracles with our finances...mainly because we made it a rule early on to ALWAYS talk money before buying anything. We don't just go out and buy things, we talk to each other first adn decide if we can do it or not. That was a big problem for a while when my relatives were lving in the same household as us....my mother and brother have a bad habit of buying things with tommorrows money...always leads to trouble.
