John: We have x dollars left in our savings. (x=number that should be higher but Lisa had a spending problem.) What do you think we should do with it? Perhaps we should prioritize our bills, cancel unnecessary things like satellite radio in the car, etc.
Lisa: Nope. I think we should take the money we have left, buy three plane tickets and fly somewhere really far away. We could stay in an all-inclusive resort, bask in the sunlight, and forget all our problems.
John: Yeah, but I'd still be unemployed and then we couldn't pay our mortgage.
Lisa: But at least we would be on vacation.

Ugh.. I manage the bills, but probably shouldnt. Heath is in charge of 1 bill and always manages to pay it late!
Excellent, excellent plan.
Make it 4 plane tickets... I'll come babysit little Maggie Moo so you guys can blow your last $20 at the casino. Taking up gambling might be your solution - you could turn $20 into $200,000. It happens. I've seen it happen in movies - and they must be based on some truth....
first time to you blog..and I am sooo with you and wishing we could just gooo away for awhile!!!!! Oh and hey I agree with Kate....Ive seen it happen in movies too!!! hehe
Guys just don't think!
I'm right there with you. Money in the bank? Experiences spent together as a family ARE. PRICELESS!
Love your humor and blog!
You just reminded me that I have bills to pay and get in the mail!
Ooopsie!
PS- I second the vaca...so need one too! :)
Your plan sounds WAY more realistic! (to me at least) :)
I So love your idea! BTW, you really need to stay away from the bill paying! LOL
Fabulous plan...yep, I'd be all over that plan:)
Sounds good to me and why I am not in charge of bills! I hope your hubby finds something soon!!! Stopping by from BSU!
I manage the bills and there was a time I would have done the exact same thing you wanted to do. In fact I did. Now we're digging out of that mess. Stay away from the budget. I mean it. Stand clear! ;)
