Today, I’m flying out to Las Vegas for my sister-in-law to be’s bachelorette party. This is the first time I’ve been on a plane since we started our debt reduction plan last year.
Sure I could stay home and skip the expense, but it means a lot to me to be a part of the events leading up to her marriage to my brother.
I promise to be good.
Have a good weekend.

Friday, my husband left on a cruise to Mexico with my brother’s bachelor party. As I said earlier, he charged the entire bill to our credit card since the cruise lines won’t let you split the tab.
I was angry since we had just paid off our card – and because we’ve been burned in the past when we allowed others to use our credit.
Just as I expected, there were problems… but not the kind of problems I had guessed. Not only did the guys pay before they left, they overpaid by $20 each (we’re giving it back).
Our credit card still took a hit from my husband (I’ll talk about the REAL expenses of a cruise in a later post) but we’ll be able to pay it off before it rolls over and starts to accrue interest. We won’t be able to pay extra on the auto loan but at least we’ll be heading into October without credit card debt.
Would I loan money again on my credit card? Even though it actually worked out this time, I’m still SOLIDLY on the no side.
