Today sucked besides the gym

Well the only thing that went good today was the gym. My wifes car is DEAD and not I have to get another one. 2 years ago I had to file chapter 7. Took 1 year to get back in order with finances. for the past year I have actually been doing good. Getting my credit back in order. Some cash left over each month. Had a good tax refund with year. Going to actually take a week off work this year for a small vacation. nothing fancy but just a week off with family. Both my cars were paid off. now today her 02 van died. I do not enough coin saved to buy another car in cash and I tried to get a loan for a cheap used car (i dont need to keep up with the joneses) but they wouldnt finance a car under 12k because of the age of the vehicles and mileage. but they will finance me for 20k. so now I am going to have a car payment and higher insurance rate since I will have to have full coverage on it. can you say shit happens. I am going to have tothrow everything I can to pay this thing off as fast as I can. I hate payments. Hell I pay my credit cards off each month. oh well that is life

yeah, life sucks. But count your blessings aswell. Its a balance act. Ying and Yang. lol

The most important things to me is family and that is going good with me. Have a good marriage, 4 good kids. 1 of them have a disability but we take that in stride. money just like 99% of us. 1 step forward 2 steps back. oh well just had to vent a little.

Yea, at least you have your priorities straight. Things will turn around someday, just keep taking it in stride and moving forward. Things get bad before they get better
