Just got the first refund.

February 6th, 2009 at 04:05 pm

and probably the last one I will ever get from the federal government, lol. So payment in full for our couch, our appliances and our kitchen stuff which was all on 0% interest credit cards.

Once that is done, we will have about $2700 to add to the EF fund and 2 last credit cards with approximately ~9k. It amazes me that I am having a hard time paying off the last 10k of debt. Its almost like having gotten this close, we just want to spend. I am sure the purchase of a house at this juncture had nothing to do with that difficulty. :P

DH wants us each to have the ability to spend $150 so that we don't feel deprived. Is it sad that I am just going to count mine towards the cost of the handyman who is going to fix things for me? I just want the odd jobs done and we seem to be getting further and further behind (maybe because we keep adding projects, lol).

DH though should at minimum buy himself a charcoal grill because he has been wanting one ever since we moved into an apartment complex that wouldn't let us have one (used to own one).

    hmm. sometimes i get like that too, and then usually something happens and then i realise 'im only X amount away from being debt free!' and then work double the amount harder to pay it off. Big Grin is that $150 a week, fortnight or month?
    I have $60 a week and DF has $80 a week. we just base it on 10% of our net income - which means if we earn less we have less to spend Big Grin

    Oh sorry whitestripe, its a one time expense. Since the credit gave us such a large refund, he wanted us to be able to spend a small portion of it. Personally I think we are spending more than enough already so I am inclined to forego "my share" and just let him shop for what he wants.
