...belly crawling in here today...
That CC debt that was paid off earlier this year? We are having to charge some vehicle repairs because two of our vehicles have decided that now would be a good time to break. Also, the automatic gate openers broke Saturday. I'm hoping to YouTube that repair. DH's brother dropped a surprise visit (he lives in Tokyo) for their grandma's 90th and sprung a trip on the DH. We agreed to try to spend as little as possible, but his brother is a not a budget minded dude.
I have to remember the positives: 1. I know there is debt and it isn't hidden. 2. When DD's car stalled on the freeway, she was able to exit and coast to a parking lot. She was safe and never in danger. And the towing fee went to a friend who owns his own business--I'll think of it as supporting his business. 3. When DH's truck's alternator died, it was on the way home and he had enough battery power to get home. 4. The gate openers are a luxury. I hope I can fix them, but if I can't, it is what it is. We have had 15 years of use out of them. 5. DH's brother lives half a world away. Money is money. Being able to see family like this is more important than money.
So, that CC ticker will be back soon. And that's okay.
