A few months ago we decided that we were going to go to New Orleans next year for WrestleMania. The Bf did some research on when tickets were going out and how much they were going for last year. We thought it was going to be November. Which would have given us time to save for our Aussie trip in October and pay off a major part of the credit card. But obvioiusly the universe had other ideas.
I get a frantic call from the BF the other day saying that the ticket were going on sale that day and were more than we thought they were. Shit we both thought.
So after a quick discussion, some rearranging and quick thinking I managed to move some money over and we ended up buying the tickets for Wrestlemania. The issue is I had to use my Aussie credit card to do that (which I said I would never use that again unless a real emergency or when we move back home, sending money overseas to pay it is expensive)
So basically we are right back to where we were a year ago.. only worse cause I had to use the cards.. So I am a little annoyed with that BUT at the same time I am going to Wrestlmania.
And the tickets include 3 night hotel, the show, the fan fare, the induction ceremony the night before and Raw the night after. So it’s a little exciting at the same time.
So after we bought the tickets the BF and I sat down and worked out how we will pay off all the cards. It will, instead of the end of 2014, early to mid 2015 to get them all paid. This included the trip to Aussie, the cruise for next year and WrestleMania. We also decided after the Cruise in July no trips for the rest of the year and work to get this all paid off.
It’s a little bit of a conundrum. Part of me is pissed to spend that much money ahead of time, without saving, but part of me is glad we are going. It’s a once in a lifetime experience. And the plan will work.. just need to work hard to maintain it and we can do it
And so it begins.. again
