A quick trip.

April 4, 2017 By: Lucy8 Comments

A road trip while paying off debt.

Hey all, I am finally going to take that road trip I talked about several weeks ago.  I had originally tried to do this back in February, but we were hit with a huge snow storm which then caused me to cancel.  On the bright side of the delay, I will save some money by not needing to rent a vehicle.  We added the insurance back on our Summer car and shortly after I get back, will drop the insurance on our Winter car.  Now my challenge is to see how inexpensively I can make the trip.  Already planning on taking snacks/beverages for the drive.  I’ll stay with family for two nights, but would like to take my elderly father out for a meal.  Other than the gas and meal out, this trip shouldn’t break the bank.  No matter, it needs to be done.

With all this being said, I don’t think I’ll be online much if at all.  I’ll catch up with everyone in a few days.  Stay frugal and stay focused on your goals.  You know I’ll be doing the same!

Almost four months?

Goodness.  I can’t believe I haven’t written in almost four months.  Do I have a good excuse?  Yes and no.
