that when you really try to save money, that is when you HAVE to spend more? Had to fix my car last week- $850 added to my already loaded credit card. Flat tire on the other car, which turns out that all the tires have reached the limits on their lives- $675 on the same credit card. Now it is at its max. Then, to top it all off- my computer is no longer working. While I do have another computer in the house, it is not the same. It is not MY computer. Luckily, though, my stepdad can build computers for cheap. He used to work with Dell for a little while, so he has great connections and skills. Thank goodness for him.

Too bad that his father’s day gift is going to be him building me a new laptop. =(
