Trying to move on

[ClingingToHope]

My W hasn't gone totally overboard. It's just without me there to say, let's wait two months for this, or we should pay this off first, she sees something she buys it.

And now that she knows the house is going to be an anchor around our necks, I think she's starting to get scared.

I am finally to the point where I'll see how frugally I can live. I have about everything I need in terms of household stuff and I'm through the dental and hernia bills.

I'm guessing with the second jobs I'll be OK if I can get out from under the credit card accounts.

That's where ALL of W's retirement money that she'll have to pay me will go and I'll end up draining my IRA to zero as well.

Oh well, I love my job. No need to retire until I'm 70.

Funny thing. The 7-year-old kissed a boy on the lips on the bus. She was all excited until I made her call W and tell her -- no way was I going to have W accuse me of hiding that from her.

W was mad and is going to have them switched on the bus. I would too.

Still, the whole thing made me smile.

D10 is very depressed though and says she doesn't know why.
