Yard Sale
We had a yard sale on Saturday and sold a LOT of stuff. We made $440. I am going to pay cash for oral surgery at the end of the month. Someone asked me if dentists office actually take cash anymore, and I thought it would be funny to take the CASH with me to the dentist’s office and PREPAY with CASH before the surgery. I wonder what they would say. Ha ha. I love it.
CASH IS KING!
BEF!
No, that doesn’t stand for best friends. It stands for BABY EMERGENCY FUND! And it is COMPLETE! This is the first time in our married lives (well, probably our entire lives) that DH and I have had savings of ANY kind. We’re pretty excited. It feels really nice to know that we have a cushion between us and life. When it rains (because it WILL) we have a little umbrella between us and the credit cards.
Speaking of credit cards, DH and I don’t entirely agree on whether or not we should close all of our credit cards after we get out of debt. I am a definite believe in never having a credit card ever again. DH thinks it’s good to have one, just in case. I can’t imagine in what “case” we would need one – although he did bring up some valid points about being out of the country and not being able to use a debit card for things. But I’m pretty sure we can still use our debit card for anything. Anyway, that’s not a bridge we have to cross now, so I guess we’ll just wait and see what happens.
