I got another freelance check in the mail today plus a Pinecone check, so I'm adding $700.50 to the challenge. The new total is $7,628.34.
My husband is itchin' to buy a new $3,000 memory foam mattress for our bed and I'm itchin' to pay down a credit card. He keeps asking me when we can buy the mattress. I was just sitting here trying to figure out how to distribute the freelance money (between savings and debt) and he started whining about the mattress again.
I think I'm going to have him sleep on the couch for a few nights, so he'll shut up about a new mattress and be happy with what we've got.....
Another challenge addition, plus my husband's whining

"But honey, look! It's made out of foam! Isn't that neat? Foam? Aw, why are you looking at me like that?"

Examples of "foam mattress" type stuff I (or we) have bought and highly regretted:
1) traded in a nearly perfect working Honda for a 1968 Mustang (not in working order). My dh told me he could do the work on the old car, but when it came time to do work, suddenly, we did not have the tools or space. WE also no longer had our car. Will not go there again.
2) invested in a home based business than went flop. (It actually made that sound.)
3) signed up for a credit card while working for $4.25 an hour as a full time graduate student
These are just a few of the money mistakes that I have come to regret.
