Some Setbacks

Ξ June 11th, 2008 | → 2 Comments | ∇ Budget |

I’ve had some major setbacks on the budget.

To start with, I had to get my car inspected.  I had budgeted the money to do so, but what I didn’t know was that there was metal sticking out of my tires.  Fortunately, I hadn’t made my extra payments yet from my debt snowball, so i was able to get four tires for the car without having to get into the EF.

But then I developed an infection in my tooth.  The whole side of my face swelled up, and I was in misery.

My mother in law works at a dentist office and had the dentist call in a prescription for some antibiotics.  But the scrip still ended up costing over $100.00

So now I’m broke.  I ended up almost $100.00 overdrawn, which i covered from the EF.  I have  left some change in my car and a couple of dollars in cash.  But tomorrow is pay day, so it’s all good.

Someone remind me that this will be worth it one day.  I’m tired of being broke.
