Dear Readers of Get Out of Debt,Tonight I have rediscovered that I can be very happy staying home on a Saturday Night. For the past 10 years, every Saturday night I would go out with my friends to eat and drink. Now, with my new challenge of paying off all my debts and having a very low discretionary budget, I have decided to play board games with my wife and have a nice dinner. I would say that my entire weekend will cost me $20. In 2008, every hour outside of my home on the weekend would cost $20 per hour. Dinner for 2 with wine in a good restaurant can get to $100 easily. A night out to the movies $30. A taxi ride back to our house, $20.
Tonight, my wife and I have played Monopoly. We had a nice steak dinner. And we are on our laptops writing emails to our friends. In a few minutes, we should be heading for bed. I am sure that peace of mind will fill our dreams.
Thank you for reading and regards,
Eric
