One step forward, 8 steps back
I guess this is why I'm not a good debt blogger, when I get a financial kick in the gut, I want to crawl under my covers and hibernate.
Last week I got a few such swift kicks.
I went to see my mom and as promised, no charges on the credit cards. I am still making progress w/paying a bit extra and Month 7 should be pretty sweet after all. I hate wishing time to fly, but in the case of my bills, I'm anxious for June and July to come already.
Now when I got back, 2 kicks, the check engine!! light popped on my car and my gas, water bill: $264!! for one freaking month!! All other months, I'm in the $35-$55 range. I still have to call and find out what the heck happened, but it feels like every step forward, I'm picked up by the scruff of my neck and tossed back.
Now, I got the car checked yesterday morning, nothing. *fumes* I was pissed to waste all that gas and waking up super early to hear that, but very relieved I didn't have to shell out loot, for now.
I do need to do my car maintenance, but next month I should be able to spare the funds. As for the gas/water bill, stay tuned...
