So I applied for and got yet another CC, this one a Disney Visa with the Little Mermaid on it. Of course they want to give me more CC's, I charge and pay a lot of $ on the ones I've got already! Everybody wants a piece of me! So as much as I hated to do it, I got another one b/c the 0% interest rates are going to be expiring soon on 2 of my 4 CC's and we've got lots more legal bills to come. So if I have to use CC's to finance this court battle, then at least I can do as much as possible on 0% interest for a year.
S and I had a long conversation today about our financial future. I am still trying to get him on the same page as I, philosophically speaking. For example, last night we drove through Taco Cabinet, and instead of getting the $4.99 nachos, he got the $3.99 nachos. Then he wanted a Coke. I pointed out that we had Coke at home (which I buy at the grocery store so he won't waste money on ripoff vending machines) and he said he liked TC's ice and that he was already saving $1 by not ordering the other nachos! I retorted, as long as we're saving $1, let's save $2!!! We argued for a minute but of course, I won. I had to remind him today that both of us are sacrificing and we need to continue sacrificing until our debt is paid off.
BTW, I did another spreadsheet to see when that might be. According to my calculations and best estimate, provided we get custody of the baby and the whore starts paying us $350/month child support here very soon, we should have our CC's/custody battle paid off totally by Jan. 2009, possibly even Dec. 2008. I reminded S that will happen ONLY if we continue to sacrifice and live the lifestyle we are living currently: no extravaganzes, no vacations, clipping coupons, etc.
