Help me!!!


I am so sick of our couches they suck in pet hair are navajo style fabric and about 10 years old. It is so temtping to go and get a used sectional and now costco is having a sale on pretty much what we want. But our plan was to wait until the car is paid off. The miracle is that my husband who is now a DR fan is saying let's wait.


How do you guys ignore something that is driving you crazy that you really want to replace when it is not apart of the current plan?

I don't remember if you mentioned how long it will take you to pay off the vehicle (I read these posts two at a time and I'm too lazy to go back and read). But hopefully, it won't be too long and you can start your couch fund. Even before you pay off the car, you can put bits of "found money" and watch it grow. For every latte (or whatever your favorite treat is, put a couple of dollars in the kitty. Saving for stuff can be fun.

The goal is to be by the end of the year. So a ways off but oh well. We are way ahead on our car payments and that why it is so tempting. But we are going to forge ahead with our current plan of pay off the car and then think about a sectional to reward ourselves and then we will tackle our bathroom loan.

Funny, my grandson, who is now 4, was scared to death of the vacuum at the same age of your daughter.

Good idea. I will try that today. One good thing about taking our time in buying it is that I think I have a better idea of what we want and need and hopefully that will last longer.
