This is a month where I'm doing serious damage to my credit cards. I've planned for this "disaster" for months, and now the piper wants his due.
Today, I paid for the tires installed on my car this past weekend. Shortly, I will be placing the charge for the Hawaii cruise I've been writing about for a while. Am I nervous about spending this money? Yes. If I weren't nervous, I wouldn't have the money available for me to spend. Too many people have said, "Marian, you've got the money - spend it!" It's because I don't spend it with reckless abandon, that I still have money to spend.
I am looking forward to my Hawaii cruise. It will be a little over 10 straight days spent in Marian mode. Getting on a plane makes me nervous. No, it's not because I'm afraid of flying. Instead, it's because I fear the headaches of going through security and having something trigger a more thorough security scan. It could be the metal in my underwire bra. It could be that I forgot to pack something in my checked luggage that is in my carry on bag. Who knows? I'll have to contact Kim and get some advice.
There are a lot of small bills that come in through the month, and I haven't seen the first of my Medicare Part-D bills yet. Nothing shows up on Mint or my Bank Statement. So I wonder what's up. That'll be a call for tomorrow....
