Our Life the Money Pit...

So within the last several weeks, we've had several household items that have gone in the crapper. Can you sense my frustration just a bit? Right now we are living on less money than we are used to due to some choices of our own and some not. Our savings account is okay. These types of things are the reasons that we put aside money... Well that and to pay for things like our retirement and our son's education. The current monthly savings plan is to pay for another degree. (I think in our house, there will always be school bills looming.) Well, this month, no savings are to be put aside for that purpose. Nope. Instead all of those savings and some other emergency reserve funds are going to replacement costs for things that don't last as long as you wish they did...
Thank you hot water heater, washing machine, tires for the Corolla, and garbage disposal. Thank you for quitting on us all at once and showing us that our best laid savings plans are definitely something to be thankful for, even if we aren't always able to use that savings for what we had intended.
