I feel so naked!!!!

January 7th, 2008 at 04:19 am

Well, here is what has been happening in Boo land! I am running about a week behind because of the flu. I finally have the Christmas beast tamed back into the basement and everything cleaned up.

Our debt stands at about $45,000. Yes, this is the amount the DH would have been bringing home had he still been getting the consulting money. Instead, I (we) kept spending, so now it is in credit card debt. Yes, NAKED. There it is.

I took all the credit cards and even my debit card out of my purse. I now only have the checkbook, no cash, a check I have to cash and $50 I have stashed for emergencies. Yes, NAKED!!!

For goals I have decided to keep it simple stupid (as the saying goes). The big goal is to incur no new debt. Period. Hahaha. The action goal is to put $1000 in an EF before we even start hammering away at the debt.
The other action goal is to get a new job with more hours than I am getting now.
The short term goal is to have as many no spend days in a row as I can. Also, to eat at home.
I have made a menu plan for the rest of the month. If the family does not like it, they can starve. I do still have planned 2 date nights for myself and DH. I told him we have to look for coupons and gift cards so we can do this for cheap or even free. Even a small expenditure in this will hopefully be well spent by avoiding divorce!

Thank you to everyone for the well wishes of getting better. Between DD2's pneumonia, my FLU, and DD3's strep, we are a typhoid family. (Ugh more bills!) I am at about 95%, I just need to get rid of this cough!

Happy New Year everyone!!

    Dear NudiePatoodie, glad you're 95% - we still are coughing a bit here ourselves.

    Cheap Date night - we try to catch the local drive-in restaraunt's special (you know the kind with car-hops?) for 99 cent ice cream sundaes. So for $2 and change we can get away from the house and kids and have a small treat and sit and visit for a few minutes. Now, granted it isn't dinner at a five-star, but it works for inexpensive and time alone.

    Date nights are definitely cheaper than divorce! A good investment.
