Weekly Roundup: Happy Valentine’s Day Edition

Topic: Roundups | Comments(5)

Happy Valentine’s Day to all the love birds out there.  My wife and I enjoyed a dinner at Outback Steakhouse last night, compliments of a gift card my mother-in-law gave us for Christmas.  It was nice to have a night out just to ourselves, and I was happy because the early-bird specials were available until 6:00pm Monday through Friday!

Other than the ProFlowers I ordered for my wife, which arrived yesterday, we decided to forgo Valentine’s Day gifts as we continue our push for debt freedom and a fully funded emergency fund by the end of this year.  I know it isn’t very romantic, but the added feeling of security from debt freedom is worth it.  Besides, next year we just might take a short, debt-free trip to celebrate Valentine’s Day with financial freedom!

    I’m a little disappointed not to see my perfect Valentine’s Day post about life insurance on here. ;)

    I’m really happy to see you posting about the fact that you are still on the “journey” to financial freedom. Its one of the things I like about your blog. So many other sites seem to take the “you idiot, why don’t you know how to do this” attitude.

    @frugalCPA: Sounds romantic…sorry I missed it!

    @Dianna: Please, I have no room to call anyone else out! I’ve made every mistake in the book, to varying degrees, over the years. I appreciate your comments.

    Thanks for the mention, FD! We pretty much agreed to ignore this V-day as we went skiing, but I still got her a little card and wrote a little something special. It was a small surprise, but still a good one!

    How ironic, my girlfriend and I also went to Outback last night on a giftcard!!!
