[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 3948251, member: 24302"] My wife and stepdaughter manage just fine with their jobs. But when I was there it was always let's go out while the bills piled up. Last year I proved this would work but after paying off the car and coming home we had three things happen. Leak under tub flooded our bedrooms. Repair required pulling tub but contractor convinced my wife to remodel bathroom, assuring her insurance would cover it. We were in a Residence Inn for a month which insurance did cover, but only 20% of the remodel. Still owed: $7800. And septic tank had major issue. Cost: $2700. Paid that one. Then during snowstorm tree limb fell on the Honda Accord I paid off and totaled it. Wife put insurance payoff on another Accord. Still owed: $9200 plus interest. And if the last few months have proven anything it's after monthly bills are paid what's left over is soon gone and I just sit inside watching tv in very cold weather. And please don't talk to me about working. I tried several jobs but the diabetes is doing a number on me. On the plus side I was at JC Penny's warehouse long enough for their insurance to pay that $36k emergency room bill I incurred. Now I'm enjoying much better weather, can afford medical care, am putting away a bit each month, or will be, and getting the debts paid. Life is good! [/QUOTE]
