STUPID ME!!!!!!!

OK, so I made a purchase that is makin me feel like the dumbest person EVER!! I will give you a little background (and my rationale for spending the money).
I spent the last year finishing school during the week and working 36 hours EVERY weekend. So, my husband was home with our daughter every weekend for a year. It was hard for both of us, I hated missing my family time and he hated not being able to get out and do things.


I would never tell you you're stupid! :) You made a decision based on what was important to you, and you were able to move things around to make it happen. Are you happy with your decision? It sounds like you are, and that's how it should be!
By pushing those bills back by a week, are you going to incur a late fee? If so, you might want to take that into your accounting.
I hope your DH enjoys his gift!
You are just following your heart. I know what that is like. I haven't been able to buy my husband a "good" gift in years.
I have one of those great gift items in the back of my mind for my dh as well. I'm praying that I have the cash to pay for it for next Christmas. I just know it will take a long time to save up for it and our savings rate for the sinking funds to be a year ahead is way off thanks to unexpected expenses, like a double premium bill on our new insurance or the $80 my son needs for one of his classes. Little things like that have been setting me back some.
Mentality wise though, I would prioritize bills and put gifts on hold. I know you want to go forward with the gift but it's a combined gift and you still have until Christmas to come up with all the cash for it.

This is one of the hard things about this journey. It is a major balancing act no matter how you look at it. You have to do what is right for you and your family.
As long as you won't receive late fees for paying the other bills one week late then all is well. If you are paying bills LATE.....then I wouldn't do it.
Way to go Amanda
HE IS WORTH IT...and you have a plan....
Men like and deserve gifts just as much as women....
