Truly sorry to be so crude. As most of you probably do not know, Chris and I really turned over a new leaf this year. I read Dave Ramsey and we have really (100% truly) been budgeting and saving - not some of the time but all of the time. I am not going to be crude again and talk about money, but we are like most Americans in that we have very little in emergency savings. We are not idiots. We pay our bills and we contribute to our retirement, but there just is not much left over. Dave is inspirational, and we finally (finally!) got a mini emergency fund and I was feeling in control and positive until this week when our emergency fund is not nearly enough to cover all this crap:
3/19: Katie's blinker on the fritz (yes, this is apparently cheap although I don't know because I haven't fixed it yet but this just set the tone)
3/20: Squeaky brakes = new rotors for Chris = sorry Kate, you have to wait another week for two new tires even though you have to fill up the one with the slow leak several times a week (good thing I don't drive far)
3/22: Katie's car won't start = new starter (the only blessing in this is the angel at the auto parts store who saved us several hours of labor)
3/23: Chris new transmission (total damage TBA)
3/23: Adding it because it is truly odd that it happened today: all my radio stations spontaneously reset to fuzz. What the......?????????
My last post as a 29 year old is a total pity post. I guess I won't be blogging from my new birthday laptop tomorrow.
Bah. You know how you feel like you work so hard to get ahead and get your life in order and, in a blink, you are back to square one? Have you been there?
