    I was supposed to pay $250 extra on the car loan this last check, but even the best laid plans go awry. Last week, I had to take my dog to the vet, leaving me $115 poorer. This week, DH had a medical issue come up that might require further tests. So, I'm holding off on paying anything extra until DH gets back from the doctor. (I'm not tapping into the EF just yet...at DH's request.) On the bright side, I'm planning on paying off the medical bills instead of charging them on a credit card.


    How much we enjoy what we have is more important than how much we have. Life is full of people who have more than they know what to do with, but cannot be content. It is the capacity to enjoy life that brings contentment.---Unknown
