    Default DH is FINALLY...

    getting it! He's reading "Your Money or Your Life"!!! He is tired of being gone 60 hours a week and having no time for anything else. He is talking about getting our modest debt load taken care of (other than our house and car, we owe about $7000.00 in student loans and for our hot water heater, dryer and some medical expenses). We should have $1000.00 taken care of in a couple of months and then will tackle the rest. I hope to have the lion's share of this gone before the end of the year and then get his car paid off a year or two early! THEN he can get a job that doesn't pay as well but gives him a LOT more satisfaction. Pray that he really sticks with this, gang!

    I know how wonderful it was for me when Gripey finally saw the light Lori. So I'm feeling the joy over here. I think it's a once you "get it" you don't go back kind of thing

    Great news, Lori. That's a wonderful book. It should give him the info he needs to work on your debt and then make an easier life for you both.
