Do you ever regret your union dues?

Do you ever regret your union dues… I know I see them deducted from my pay, and I always wonder why….BUT NOT TODAY!

 

I am so excited I had to share with someone!!!

Our Union, after almost 2 years of deliberation finally agreed to a tentative agreement for us. And…drum-roll please…we get almost a 4000$ increase! And about that much in back pay as well, give or take taxes of course, since the contract expired in June of 2007!!cheer2.gifcheer2.gif

 

This could not have come at a better time!! We are bombarded with Credit card debt, we always manage to make at least the minimum payments, mostly double or triple payments, but this will help SO MUCH!! I get in tears whenever I think about the amount of debt we are accumulating, so now the card is in the FREEZER!

 

It should pay about 1/3 of our Credit Card debt!! WOOHOO!!! We want to pay it all off before we even think of getting a house! And now that is so much sooner! It feels like I can be happy about our wedding again!!! elefant.gif

 

Word of advice for your MasterCard holders, did you know you can call them every 6 months, even if you only make minimum payments, and ask for them to adjust your interest rate to your lowest possible rate??!! This has helped us SO much! I have saved thousands of dollars by sticking a reminder in my phone telling me to call and ask for a re-adjustment! bunny_4.gif

 

I am so excited!!!! …

 

Maybe now I will get a second dress…. smile72.gif

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
