First let me state for the record......March kicked my ass.
Except for a few days away in Delaware, it was a sucky month, both financially and personally.
Lots of bills....too many for my taste.
If not for a nice tax refund we would have been into the negative money in March after paying all the bills.
The health is ok but I am not making enough progress on my goals of dropping weight and getting more fit. It's difficult to see results when you can't exercise much due to breathing issues.
Can't get motivated to do what needs to be done to this house or the many projects I have to do.
I am about at the point where I just want everything that isn't getting completed GONE from the house. I feel a big donation to Sallie's bubbling up to the surface.... ;-)
At this rate, by the time 4 years from now gets here, I won't have anything to throw away or even MOVE when we leave this house. lolz
My newly fixed, floored, painted and crown molding-ed living room still has no furniture in it. But the dog enjoys the rug in there to sun herself on nice days.
I'm so glad we had that work done.....for the dog's pleasure. ha!
I guess I am just feeling frustrated and ready for some warmer weather. Remind me I said that when I am sweltering a few months from now... ;-)
Back to the bills.....
I just tallied up what we've spent on the SUCK HOLE that are cars in just the first 3 months of
this year.
$5,076.35
And that's just repairs; not gas, insurance and the usual monies we have to sink into them.
I just wish you could fix everything car related with duct tape. My life would be so much more pleasant and richer!
So hating what it costs to remain mobile in this society of ours......
Hubs has decided to just limp along with his vehicle(aka the Death Trap)until August.
When #2 Son leaves for college the Death Trap gets donated(somewhere they will take it!lol)and he'll start driving the 3rd car(that use to be his car before he bought the DT)again.
Then we have to decide what to do with my minivan......the one that needs bodywork or won't pass inspection this time again next year, but doesn't even have 100K miles on it yet.
Maybe we will become a 1 car family by then?
We had planned on downsizing to 2 cars this year, then 1 car once he retired in 4 years time.
Maybe we'll get down to 1 car sooner than we planned.
Lord knows I'll enjoy NOT spending all that cash on the beastly things!
