if you go with a second job - 1) use that money to pay the debt off. 2) figure out exactly how long it will take.3) be sure to caculate the extra commute cost, baby care and extra going out for food costs.
I am giving my self till the end of october to decide on giving up netflxs. we haven't used it much since we moved - over a year ago. But we have been talking about spending more time together without other people and without spending money - like - a date, but cheap.
I would miss BSG , cartoon network, and the food channel if we gave up cable. But it is on my list as first to go if need be. I have friends that don't have cable - but they watch lots of DVD's . they buy some they borrow others from friends and libraries, and they netflix. for what I spend on cable I could have a netflix account and buy 3 movies a month.
And thanks everyone - you are all so aupportive and wonderful to listen to my constant bitching.
Also, we had to take Lunar/Space Kitty to the shelter Saturday. He used Em's crib as a litterbox again.
As I said to a friend in town the other day - here people I know that are smart and capable agonizing over thier budget makes me feel better about agonizing over mine.
ION, being on high BP meds mean my thumb, which is usually a great place to stab my self to test my blood sugar - no longer bleeds enough even righ after a shower. Bizzarely, this is a first world problem.
Aimee, have you changed your withholdings? Paul (finally) did, which frees up a fair amount of money to pay our bills (I'm still withholding as much as possible, but I'm barely working), but we do have a house and deductable interest to keep it from assbiting come April.
Plei, package came--thanks! You rock. Also, what kind of fabric softener do you use? I love the smell.
I don't, most of the time. I use Country Save liquid (because it is on sale more often than the other natural brands) detergent, which is very lightly scented.
