Time to Put it All Back

Tweet

It is just the way I tend to do it. I hate spending money. Even when it is for things I want. I just hate doing it. And when we do take it, no matter what it is for, the direction directly after is to put it all back as quickly as we possibly can. Come hell or high water. And to do that there is always a careful and calculated plan. It's never left to chance or circumstance or what ifs. There is a plan and I always stick very strictly to it. I am referring to the camper which we will (so far) being taking delivery on this next upcoming Saturday. We will need $10k down, and another $3k or so for some things that have to be done to the truck. I pulled another $5k just in case we have any surprises. So, that is roughly $10-$15k that needs to be put back. So, how do I do it? I can put in some extra hours at work. Take shorter lunch breaks on the days I don't get paid for them. I can pull back the spending budget just a little bit and put the difference back. I can buy more stocks and increase my dividend pool. I can sell more covered call options contracts and use the premiums I receive to repay the money. The most important thing is to simply get it all back sooner rather than later. The money spent is worth it. But at the same time I want to be able to have my cake and eat it too. I want my camper AND I want my money. So, onward and upward we go to accomplish exactly that.
