Things have been going nicely finance wise. Paying debt. Chugging along at a good pace. Then Friday the 13th hit.
No. I’m not superstitious.
Or…
I should say, I wasn’t superstitious.
That was before the furnace and garage door broke. The only two things my husband can’t fix himself. Cha-Ching!
Sigh.
We’re still looking good for a February payoff, but it will be a while before we can save our full emergency fund. I guess hubby will have to wait another few months before I can spring to replace that Charger oven mitt.

Friday was pretty good for me….on the 13th my wife and I went to look at apartments. We were taken to look at this one, that we ended up applying for and you know what it was #1113 what makes it even fumier we currently live in #213 at our current place.

As for the remainder of you post, just keep an stiff upper lip and keep trudging along….you will succeed.

Furnace and AC repair look intimidating but I watch what they do (damn easy, really, the wiring diagrams are right there inside the cover) buy the parts on line and stack them handy for the next time it breaks. The same thing breaks the next time. (The igniter on the furnace and the starter capacitor on the AC) The parts are half the price online what the repair company charges and no service fee.
