I had some help this week on saving money 3 years ago

Unfortunately, it was because my purse was stolen out of my car. I had to cancel everything because the moron used my debit card- which shows me online when transactions are made. I noticed it immediately. I apparently got really lucky: I called last Thursday to report my purse stolen. Less than 3 hours later another police department called me to say that they had my stuff. The kid was being served a warrant and had my atm card in his wallet when they searched it. He said he found it on the ground. The cops luckily found my wallet (with license, SS card- should not have been in there- and my credit cards) stuffed in his robe pocket.

Anyways, he is probably out of jail while I am sitting here on the phone dealing with automated systems. I can’t use any credit cards or my debit. So, one of the best parts was saving money!! Too bad he will probably get off easy with the charges being all misdomeanors.



Why is it 3 years ago

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. =(
