Starting Our New Lives Together....Curt & Dahlia Moving Forward !!!!

[Cha n Nel 1]

Again congrats it's well deserved....lucky for dahlia curt already made space for her at his crib....as for me, my wife mandated that I do the rearranging since she is so busy with work and my kid. What's even challenging is that my lil bundle of joy undo everything I did Oh well this is what I get...but definitely no regrets...

Thank you!

I really appreciate what Curt has done in his house for me. Emptied 2/3 of the walk-in closet for me though I still need more space when I start my shopping mode . The house is clean, acceptable..... just I need detailed cleaning.... . Very accommodating....... even I was surprised the he already installed a toilet bidet spray for me .

Dahlia and I continue to blend our lives together, her first week here in the US is almost over.....

Her clothes are all sorted out and put away....we are driving around together and Dahlia is finding all the stores.....ugggg !!! and I see I am in lots of trouble with that....letting her loose for the first time might turn out to be a disaster....

Dahlia is certainly putting her touch all over in our home....loving my plants...moving a few things around and laying down some new household rules.....as I said, we are blending, blending, blending........

We are clearly in "Wedding Mode" slowly making progress towards our big day on Sept 28th :-)

Planning a wedding together is certainly a good test of how each of us will deal with stress......

Both of us continue to see how our relationship together is growing even more strongly every day as we learn new things about each other......good communications, patience and tolerance is certainly a big part of our lives...

Moving our lives forward has been fun and exciting....

No credit cards... just a debit card. Credit cards are for emergencies only.... not shopping.

Hmmm.... Emergency shopping = Credit cards

I disagree. I buy everything I can on CCs. I would pay my mortgages if they would let me. 1~3% cash back on every purchase. Money made on money that cannot be saved. Been doing it for over 10 years now. Pay it all off when the bill comes, and it IS a debit card... with rewards!!

[JAYANN & JAY 11]

I only use my credit for gas & grocery to earn rewards and of course for emergency. It stays in my wallet incase of emergency. As much as possible I try to use cash and leave the credi/debit card at home to avoid over spending.

I used to shy away from CC, when I wasn't quite as... disciplined. Then I discovered (thanks to DiscoverCard) that they not only take 2~4% from the merchant, but they are willing to share 1~3% of that with YOU the cardholder. So I began using a CC more and more. Today, I never use debit. Doesn't make any sense to me to 1) Take the money out of my interest-bearing account right away, and 2) Allow the CC company to get all the merchant fees for themselves.

So now I share that profit with them, and get over $600 cash back every year. It isn't much, compared to some investments. But considering that you can't normally make interest on money spent on groceries and utilities, it's not a bad way to go. You just have to be strong enough to use it only for what is needed, and never, EVER allow a balance to accrue that you cannot pay off each month. Start small. Work your way up. In a year or two, you will be used to it and will appreciate my advice.
