Vacations is over....

Hi all,

now that vacation is over, I look over our finances and realize that we have spent way too much money. Money we couldn't afford to spend. Mostly on DVDs and food (unnecessary food, like chips and junk). 1 good thing came out of it. After we spent 12 Euros at KFC for lunch on my birthday, we decided that it wasn't worth it and that I could have made a much better, more festive meal, much cheaper at home. So we are not going out to eat anymore. I'm kind of upset and frustrated, because we are right back at square one, after we finally made it to square 1.5 :). But we just have to keep on plugging away. Bills are still being paid, just can't buy not even the smallest "extra" and I wonder if we will ever learn. Next week, we are going to talk to the bank about refinancing to free money to be able to work with at least. We still don't know if we'll do it or not, but in light of my husband (and can someone explain to me what DH means please, I'm stuck on disfunctional husband)needing to have his teeth fixed, we may have to do it. One good thing that would come out of refinancing would be the lower interest rate and the fact that it will free up his disability and we'll have about 600 more Euros a month, so depending on the payments, we may do it.

Well, I just wanted to check in and say that we are still here and plugging along, trying to get out of debt.
