Rick and I have always had issues with our finances. Most of the times it's to do with our laziness and bad habit of eating out and not staying home. This new phas is more about practicality and health, with a little kick of finance.
Since quitting basketball in 2011 Rick had gained all the weight that he had lost during his time playing, so out of concern for his health, coinciding with monetary worries, Rick and I decided he should trial going to work using public transport. With my parents coming back, our home life and social life settling down, Rick has been taking the train and enjoying the walks. This will be our first month where we include, in our budget, money for the train and reducing the amount for the petrol.
Not only is Rick saving money by not using his car everday for work, he's also reducing his carbon footprint, which we all have to do now!
So we're spending the week days apart, Rick staying at my parents house which is right next to the Bray Park train station, and I'll be here at home enjoying the company of my furbabies.
