My dad could fix anything. lol<br /><br />I think everyone ebbs and flows with this whole budgeting process. From what I've seen that's perfectly normal, but the people who succeed are the ones who keep moving forward, especially after a fall.<br /><br />Just keep swimming.

My wife and I seem to blow back and forth during the year. For a few months we'll "scrimp and save" and do really well making extra payments on the mortgage, but then we'll fall out of Gazelle intensity and have a few months where we make budget, but don't have much in the way of saving or paying down debt.<br /><br />I agree about "just being at the movies". We probably buy only one or two blu-rays a year (we have a GREAT library with a GREAT DVD collection that is FREE!) but being at the movies is just about the experience. And sometimes we used to go just for the overpriced popcorn. When we were dating before marriage, we were famous for being at the theater every weekend! Not so anymore. Though, to be honest, I become less impressed with Hollywood's offerings every year, so maybe it isn't such a loss. But How to Train Your Dragon 2 was fantastic! :)<br /><br />I too am no "handyman". I wish I would have paid more attention to dad showing me how to do things when I was living at home! I too would rather just pay a professional to fix broken things. I guess we are just too "artsy". :P<br /><br />Keep pinchin' :- )Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08793805904771759998noreply@blogger.com
