Well, as it goes when you start to pay off everything and get a little excited about the prospect of being debt free sometimes one goes overboard. So okay, I went a little overboard with my payments and now I'm a little tight for these two weeks. Everything is paid and we have $290 for two weeks for two people. Grocery's will cost us about $200 ($100/week) leaving a grand total of $90 in discretionary income for the two weeks and that will include gas. So it looks like we will be using the gift certificates that we have recieved over the Christmas holiday for fun and we will be creating our own fun somehow. I think this week I need to plan my menus out completely so I only buy what is needed at the store and I will get two of my Longaberger baskets out to sell on Ebay. Hopefully people will still be buying out there. This will give us some extra discretionary income for the next couple weeks so we can have a little fun (grin). My thing with becoming debt free is that I don't want to be so tied to payments that I can't have some fun. I believe life is partially fun so we need to enjoy it and live it while we pay off our debts. So extra income can come in the form of selling books, dvds, cds, clothes, household goods, and collectibles. This week I'm going with the collectibles on Ebay. Listings will go up tonight when I get home from work. Here's to having fun while becoming debt free.
God Bless.
