Debate & Discuss / Staying on financial course

« on: April 01, 2017, 08:36:14 pm »Message ID: 1133010

Often times, I set goals. You know-3 mo, 6 mo, 9 mo, 1 yr, 5 yr, & 10 yr. Marriage was something that happened and then I have been trying to stay the course for the last 1 1/2 yrs. Don't get me wrong, I have been fortunate to marry s/o who understood I have goals. The issue has been staying the course and incorporating a new person in my plans. The financial aspect is the one where the impact is noted the most. Taking our combined incomes and expressing that in order to get where we are going in life, we have to sacrifice. Date night still happens, and I am grateful he sees that we are more at ease knowing that we incorporate a night on the town, without adversely impacting where we are going. The ultimate point is that in order to better our credit scores so we can get the house we want, not what is offered because it 'fits our credit profile' is to stay on course. Does it hurt at times? Yes. Is it worth it? Definitely.

Word Chains & Countdowns / Re: no more cold or snow for me

Moved to Illinois from Georgia in 1994. The 1st 3 winters, I kept calling hm complaining about the snow. Lived in Germany for a while, and by comparison, the cold fronts are much colder. However, the only thing I would like is a birthday without a blizzard. It will snow for Thanksgiving, maybe for Christmas, but I am guaranteed to see a small or large blizzard in January. Now with the weather changing, I feel at home. Birds chirping, things turning green. Don't mind the rain, because it is bringing beautiful things for the Spring.

  I agree. Very clear & 2 the point.  Thanks 4 taking the x to post so that s/o like myself can have an idea as 2 how 2 behave on the forum. The main 2 things I appreciated: (1) the fact that no one bashes another 4 their views, and (2) the fact that it is O.K. 2 share a link to a YouTube video, as oftentimes, I myself have found information there that is beneficial 2 more people than myself.

I would like 2 know, however, is it O.K. 2 post a link to a song/just general how 2 items?
