Well this was an interesting day!
After cashing in some savings to pay off our lingering credit card debt, we had been debating whether both Grump and Sweetie should get iPhones. Grump was leaning towards, "No," until today in a staff meeting it was reiterated that folks where Grump works should NEVER, EVER use the internet on a work PC for personal use.
Ugh! Grump needs to browse the 'net from time to time, just to unwind a bit, so he relented and phoned Sweetie, telling her that they would go get iPhones after work. Which they did.
But here's the wrinkle ..... a nasty surprise arrived in the mail today, a $1,200 bill from our dentist! Now it appears we will never get out of debt!
Before you jump on us, asking WHY IN HEAVEN'S SAKE did we get iPhones when a new, large, unexpected bill arrived, bear in mind that the cost of these iPhones, bundled with the iPad, will actually be LESS than our existing setup of an iPad thru Verizon and cellphones thru AT&T. Makes you wonder why we didn't do this a while ago, huh? (It was because, until recently, AT&T's cellphone plan was much cheaper for us.)
So there you have it: we acquired new iPhones, and a new ugly lump of debt. Here is how Grump feels about our finances at the moment:
