Dear Bizi,
You are doing great. You are lucky to have a husband who can work with you on most of this. You have already noted a few places where you can cut.

An expert might tell you to work on saving more for retirement.
The school loan is high and costing you interest. If you can pay more toward it each month you can pay it off faster and put the rest into retirement.
Keep the insurances and retirement accounts. They are important.

I think you said once that you have a 15 year mortgage. That will be nice to look forward to paying off.

I think you are right to look for ways to raise your income and to minimize trips, alcohol, and eating out.

M.

Unhappy Entering the weekend baaaaadly.

Not going to work... Passed out, from the heat, I'm guessing. Did I already say that here? Had bloodwork done but mdoc's is out of town. I've gone to ground in my FL cave & have appt Mon a.m.
Besides the physical woes, I'm thinking I may be beginning a slide into depression. Guess I'd better get an appt with pdoc too...

Dear Judelauren,
I'm worried about you in the heat. You had a problem with the heat a week or two ago and ended up in the hospital.

Can you call the pdoc Friday? You don't need to wait until Monday. You are new to the diagnosis. Some pdocs let us adjust our meds within a certain range by ourselves.

I just heard about this on cnn a couple of days ago.
http://www.ooma.com/micro/faq.html
it is a cheap phone service after you pay about 229 for the box. then it is a little over 3 dollars a month for taxes etc. I am considering it.

thank you bobby,
we are changing to the fiber optic system because of our 2 phone lines and lumped in with the internet. Jeff is doing that today...we need to figure out how much mega bites per second...the lowest being 10mbps, we don't know what we have now for comparison. 10,30,50.100 different levels and costs of course. currently, we have high speed thru a&t&t DSL.

Did Jeff look at it?

I'm not even trying to deal with this heat. I'm chillin'.

I called pdoc this morning, and he's out of town as well as my mdoc.
So I'm treading water this weekend.

Thanks for being there.
