I’ve been a little away from blogging because my kids are at home due to Easter school holidays and let’s say that, they keep be busy.

This week I received the taxes refund that immediately disappeared in the bank account. Payday loan ate part of the money as well as the credit card, I had to pay for my husband’s car not so cheap insurance, cable tv, so the money is almost vanished.

We also had what we call a once in a while bill. A new big shopping center opened in a nearby city and I took the kids there. It is a kind of new concept near our city so it was a special occasion and we spend some money in food. Eating out is very expensive and we barely do it, but this week once the kids were at home I thought they would be entertained over there.

We have been using the credit card because it gives us some advantages like 1% in every shopping bill, 2.5% in gas but all that money we save end up going to interests we pay if we don’t have money to pay the full amount we owe. This month we are not going to use the credit card unless it is an emergency or a spend and pay thing. By spend and pay I mean arriving home and immediately pay what I spend on that day with the credit card. Let’s see how it works.
