Good Choices
Posted on February 11, 2006 by Her and tagged choices
As a comparison to my parents Bad Choices, I've decided to list some of the Good Choices we've made as a couple:
-Chose to complete our education before getting engaged
-Chose to save up and pay cash for the engagement ring, even though it meant waiting longer than we wanted to
-Chose to work as a team on our finances, spending time together each week to review our accounts, pay bills, and plan for the future
-Chose to forgive each other's previous financially bad choices, such as missed payments and unnecessary purchases
-Chose to support each other in making good financial choices, such as discouraging splurge purchases and encouraging saving
-Chose to combine our finances to double our leveraging power
-Chose to pay off the highest-rate credit cards first, no matter which of us owned the card
-Chose housing that is slightly under our budget to allow for extra savings
-Choose to menu plan together each weekend so we don't have to waste money on dining out during the week
I'm really proud of the choices we've made.
