I just got the word that my partial retirement check is coming in today via UPS! I am taking a 30 percent hit off the top but for those who know my saga, it means I can pay off hubbie's restitution and his attorney can get him off probation!!!!!! Long stupid national story about school choice, bullying and abuse. Anyway, I will also be able to pay off a small loan at a local bank that cost us $500.00 monthly!!! All of this so we can live more cheaply. Simply. I can pay off a few other small things but these are the biggies. It's going to come too late for me to get to the bank ontime so first thing tomorrow I am off to spend it. I am also picking up an inexpensive used car as son and girlfriend have trashed ours. I can't wait!!!!!!!!!! Fewer worries.
