Expendables 4 and Financial Liberation

I watched the Expendables 4 the other day, and it quite honestly was not very good. It came out a decade after the last Expendables, and there looked to be a lack of effort overall in making the film. The actors and actresses seemed to be phoning it in, and there was an abundance of CGI that just looked clunky. The plot was terrible with very predicable twists. The action sequences were good but nothing that we have not seen before in other action movies. This was disappointing as a am admittedly a fan of the Expendables franchise. It was the type of movie where you turn your mind off and just watch actors of the past. There was over-the-top action, and it was generally fun. This latest installment was a bit boring, and I doubt that they make another one anytime soon.

Otherwise, things have been good with me and my wife. Now that she has a full-time job, our financial situation has been much better. When it was just me working, we had to be really frugal with our money. We had to eat at home most of the time and not go out to eat even if it were donuts for breakfast or just hamburgers and fries. Now, we do not have to worry about that. There is definitely something liberating about being able to go out or buy things without this worry about finances. However, that is not to say that we do not have to be smart about our spending. We eventually want to buy a townhome or house, and we will have to save a lot and consistently in order to reach that goal. However, we have been so restrained with our money, and with my wife getting her first paycheck, we just had to splurge. We will definitely reign it in though in the near future.

So far, the future is looking bright. We pretty much have something to do every week and especially on weekends. There are events, shows and vacations planned, and it has been a positive to be able to do such things.
