Getting Out and Enjoying the Show

by

Where I live, October brings a fabulous color show. There have been years where we missed it due to our work schedules. Lately, though, we have been trying to get out more and well, live a little. Last weekend was basically peak fall color time so we went cruising and did a little hiking. We were not disappointed. I said I would share a pic if I had any pretty ones. I do have one, and here it is.

I wish I could take a picture and it would capture the moment exactly like my eyes saw it. In person, the colors were so vibrant and the sky was light blue. It was a beautiful weekend. Before we know it, the fall color will fade and be replaced by a blanket of white snow.

Then we can go out sledding and snowshoeing 🙂

Time Management, Demanding an Additional Payment and Canceling Credit Cards

by

Before I share some articles that caught my eye this week (I’m getting back into the swing of things and bringing these Friday round-ups back 🙂 ), I just want to mention that there is more info available about the writing position here at the Saving Advice Blog. The big thing to note is the deadline, October 13th.

Now onto the round-up:

First up is JD at Need To Be Debt Free. I think I really feel a connection with JD because he’s in Michigan and he shares exactly what’s on his mind. He’s had a lot of hardships, but gets himself and dusts himself off after hitting those bumps on the debt reduction road. Recently JW was thinking about time management. That’s one of my weak spots, so I found his schedule interesting. I think I’m going to need to do something like that.

Grace at GRACEful Retirement shares a co-worker’s experience with American Express. They called and demanded an additional payment, above and beyond the normal monthly payment. If that additional payment wasn’t paid – the card would be suspended. All I can say is ?????

Him & Her at Make Love Not Debt are taking some steps to clean up and started canceling credit cards. They report that none of them fought to keep them as a customer. I’ve decided that it’s time to simplify our lives and start canceling some of our cards.
