Re: The Good News Thread

Credit cards can really get you into trouble. Thankfully my wife and I are at a point in our lives where we don't carry over monthly balances, but back when we were first living together and she was going to school full time we often used our cards for groceries and other living expenses (and sure, more than a few dumb purchases were also made). Credit card debt can spiral out of control really quick.

This really is very good news. Having to fund all that interest just hurts your ability to dig out of it. Very cool that he did that for you.

My wife and I made a new years resolution to spend way less this year. Since Jan 1 we've eaten out a total of maybe 6 times, and all of them were at Panera Bread. I've cut my bills drastically and in the process learned some really great recipes and enjoyed cooking even more than before. It's amazing how you can go on autopilot with spending. Changing a few habits can really help, and in my case I don't even miss eating out.

In my head $40 bucks is a trip to say Applebee's TGIF etc.... I got a 5 and 2 year old so they typicall eat cheap. I am still scratching my head how I got up to 40 at P. The kids meals don't included milk which is fawking BS.
