expense wise:
1) replaced 2 vehicles with new ones. Sales tax $7K for both (paid). Also paid 2/3 of agreed sales price for both cars w/cash and trade-ins, roughly 40K (paid mostly cash).
Good thing is, will probably have them both paid off in 2-3 years and only debt I have…hate debt.
2) Property tax due on home and cars in December, 10K.
3) Christmas time 4-5K.
We expected all of the above and planned for it….so not so bad. But shat has happened since:
1) Uncle Joe (fed taxes) = 4K
2) Gas furnace went out, 5K
3) Today…took daughter’s car to get tires, also found out it needed alignment (normal), brake pads and rotors…..all said, almost 2K.
4) Also got daughter’s college graduation coming up in May…..gonna be costly too.
Never had a run like this, just want the bleeding to stop.
Oh well, at least the venting makes me feel better. I also have my family, we all have good health and there are only 283 MO dayz before Uncle Joe leaves office.
Got that going 4 me/us…..
