Blogging Away Debt

This week’s Friday Blog Highlight is another blogger who is trying to get out of debt.

“I am a single parent with 10 month old twins. I have substantial credit card debt from fertility treatments and recently started paying all household expenses myself. I am going to reduce my debt in the following year by generating additional income (second job, selling on e-Bay) and saving money on daily expenses.”

We all have our reasons for wanting to get out of our debt. Those reasons are what we hold onto for motivation – and let me tell ya, twinsmommy has two adorable reasons! 🙂

Something that I think everyone should do is to try to generate additional income to help battle your debt. Twinsmommy is sharing what she is doing to bring in some extra money.

You Know What They Say…You Get What You Paid For

by Tricia

Yesterday was a pretty exciting day for me. We went to pick up my brand new glasses. After I put them on, everything was so clear and I felt better about spending the money to purchase them.

Really, the price I paid for them was less than I would pay somewhere else. It’s always nice to get a good deal. But I think my glasses are going to be an example of a purchase that perhaps you want to pay a little bit more for.

After taking a closer look at my glasses, I see that there are gaps between the lens and the frame on the right side. It sticks out to me like a sore thumb, especially after taking the time to bend and shape my old frugal glasses. It appears that the lens is the incorrect size for the frame.

I’m still deciding on whether I am going to say something about the quality when I go back on Monday for a lens check (I am also getting the prescription for contacts).

Do you think I should say something? Am I being over-critical? Anyone else have a similar experience and care to share some advice?

As always…thanks! 🙂
