Bill Day

Yesterday was bill day, thankfully it was also payday, so the will start with the good. Wife’s deposit was $650.00, my check was $2430.74 for a total of $3080.74, now the bad, the bills, Car#1 $710.00, BG&E $278.06, Comcast $199.66, total of 1187.72, also on Wednesday I paid $500.00 on Car#2 and $2100.00 on Lowe's, total $3787.72, damn that hurt when typing that, that’s a lot of money going out in one week. Now I have to renew the tags for Car#3, $128.00, I was wrong from an earlier post that I had to pay 4 this year, It was only 3, but I sold my motorcycle before it was due, one less vehicle sucking money out of my wallet now. The only bills left for this month is Car#3 and the Mortgage. 

Best Day in a Patents Life

POST: Best day in a parent’s life.

I always tell people the best day in a parent’s life is when there children get there own car insurance and there own cell phone plan. Yesterday was one of those days; my daughter finally bought her new used car, and got her own insurance, they grow up so quick; my ass. I made a deal with her when she got out of collage that if she kept her current car I would pay for the insurance and repairs, only because of her tremendous amount of student loans. My wife also has a new job where she will be working from home so that saved a little on insurance too.

I will catch you up on where my bills are as of right now, and how I’m dealing with it or what the plan is for it. Way back in mid December my wife and I bought new bedroom furniture, that’s the good news, the bad news is we needed carpet to, so $3500 for the furniture and $4600 for the carpet, well you get the idea, so here’s where I stand, both are interest free, carpet 1 year, furniture 2 years. The carpet is down to $4038.00 and I’m paying $2100.00 on that tomorrow, and rest next month, just what to get that out of the way. The furniture I’m not in any real hurry, I pay $125 a month on it and it will be paid off before I have to pay interest. My Discover card has a balance of $329.07, I'm paying $100.00 a month on that. My biggest goal right now is to pay off my wife's BMW by February, I'll owe about $9500.00 on it, it's doable, and when I come up withe that plan I'll tell you about it, because I need less car payment's in my life.
