Loose Lips SInk Ships

Well it has happened again. Much like previous times I dared to have some ambition and talked about it, naysayers have shot me down. This time there was no "I only do things that make me money" phrase to latch onto, but there might as well have been. I opened my mouth and talked about getting a bigger truck, but have had no supporters and am in a mood of doom and gloom. As of now, as soon as I keep my word to my brother and sell him my truck, I am going to go and buy a small single cab truck, likely without 4x4 and if I'm lucky a manual. If everyone wants to tell me a big truck is a bad idea, what does that say about my current "not small" truck? Any leftover money I have will go towards buying perishable farm supplies and I am spending very little on luxories in the coming year.

I tabulated my Credit Card expenses for the year to date and have found that I have spent 43% of my CC bill on possibly unnecessary goods. That is going to come down in the 2011 year also. Soon I am going to go see the H&R block folks and then tabulate my planned 2011 expenses by month and for the year.

Hopefully spending less and having less will get me to pay off my loans. My student loan isn't going away, and the home loan is looming also. Those will be paid off in no time once I cut some of the fat.

I have also done something to make the vet tech less than happy. She does not want to celebrate the Advent sesaon and two things have happened because of this.
     1. I am unable to convey why to those who ask.
     2. Those who ask can't seem to let it be.
So it is going to take some more effort to work through this, but it can be worked through. This is partly due to my loose lips sink ships ideology, and the ideology is holding true.
