Memorial Day Weekend
This was the first three day weekend I have had so far this year. It was really nice to have this past Monday off for Memorial Day so we can remember those who have served our country so that we can live in freedom. Beer and barbeque outside in the really nice weather makes a lot of things we stress over just melt away. On top of that we even went out to the movie theater to see the new Indiana Jones movie.
I should have an update to our debt reduction effort in a few days when I crunch the numbers. While our debt didn’t go up this month, it didn’t really go down much either. The concern coming up here is my wife’s student loans payments will be starting up here soon. Since she doesn’t have a full teaching job yet we might try to defer those off because the payment on them alone would consume the income she currently brings in. This why I am eager to pay off credit cards quickly so it will free up the payments to tackle student loans. While it may seem daunting right now if we throw 1-2k a month at them, they will go away in a couple years easily.
How is wife’s job search going? I understand she doesnt have full teaching job but does she work part time a teacher?
