Weekly Thoughts

I had planned on going to Hawaii this year, but my family had other plans.  My wife said that Hawaii would cost us around $10,000 and that it’s too big of a financial expense for us at this time.

Oh we could put the vacation on our credit card and pay it off over a few months, but we never carry credit card balance.  So instead we are going to an island in Florida for some days in the sun.

While in Florida, we are going to swim with the dolphins.  That sold my kids, and wife for that matter.  We also plan on spending a day or two at Sea World.

Since I’ll be at a location where being in shape would help with the heat, I’m going to accelerate my “Losing Weight Frugally“, expanding it to include body shaping and maybe even fasting.  To date, I’ve lost a total of  around 15 to 16 lbs. 

Since today is father’s day and I’m late with my weekly update, I’m just going to put links in this article.  This way I can spend time with my family and not get in trouble (lol).
