    Default why do we work together in debt reduction?

    to back each other up

    I am so glad I got dh on board with getting our financial life in order.

    our furnace is 15 years old. last monday I got a flyer from our furnace company they had a 1/2 price sale and 0% financing two of my favorite words.... so since it is 15 years old I called to have them give us an estimate......... well dh said ours works great... save the money they will have the same deal next january..... ( cycle sales I taught him that) appointment was canceled and a tune up appointment was made for this week


    Then the dishwasher stopped working... dh said call the repairman... while he is reasonable I said him only 3 screws hold this and 2 this part so we took those apart no major clog but clelaned up the small stuff..... then I said only 1 more screw holds this.... and I found 5 toothpicks and a chicken bone and some plastic....


    yes I said it again only one more screw.... the whole thing was clean we got it back together and It worked like new. $100 saved!!!!

    And this is why we talk before spending money.
