January 29th, 2007 - My adventure or ours?
laplayer asked in a comment if this was a shared adventure with my husband. That’s a good question, and I’m not sure of the answer. It’s definitely my adventure. Eric is definitely involved, but he would never be on it if I weren’t around. I certainly get a kick out of finding frugal ways to do things, such as my new laundry routine. He’d much rather just throw things in the dryer. He’d rather not worry about where we spend our money or have a large spending allowance or have gotten a snowblower years ago.
But he does recognize the value in what I do and in what we do as a family. He is just as interested as I in paying off our HEL in three years. He was thrilled when our original second mortgage was gone. He’s proud of what we’ve done financially. He’s delighted with the extra cash from Amazon.
I don’t think he’d call it an adventure, however, he’s just along for the ride. Plus, he’s not writing this, so I can’t speak from his perspective. I’m recruiting my daughter to my side (which Eric thinks is great), but I won’t change it to “ours” for that either, unless she wants to write blog entries with me. Which she probably will one day. Once she starts talking, I’ll ask her to write some…..
