We did more Christmas shopping this weekend. Now we are down to cousin gifts, stockings and the sweat outfits. Piece of cake. We are going to open another dedicated savings account after the beginning of the year. We'll save some money every paycheck and then by next October or so, take out the money and go Christmas shopping. I'm totally hooked on getting the shopping done early. What a relief!!
Let's see...the debt? Well, the payments are coming along. We are under $4,000 now....that is the LAST TIME we will have cc debt at that amount. It feels good to be under that marker. It's been SO long since we were under that amount. Let's see....it's probably been a good 10 years or so. Wow - that's just crazy. That's most of our married years. Never again!!
I can't describe how good it feels to have DH doing the finances right along with me. We are on the same page and actually communicate about where the money should go. Gasp!! Communicate? To each other?? It's been a foreign concept....up until February anyway. It's so nice to have a partner in this. And I think he enjoys seeing where the money goes as opposed to feeling like we had so much and wondering where it was all going! He's so awesome.
Anyway...off to do some laundry. I gotta look at the envelopes to see how big of a box of soap I can buy. It's got to last me another 1 1/2 weeks at least!
