The transmission of my car blew to shit, leaving me vehicle-less. I kinda *Really* needed a car, so instead of simply repairing it (the thing is very old and beat up, dropping money for the expensive repair would leave me vulnerable to another expensive fix down the road) I bought a very nice used one for 2500$ from my friend Frankie. He overcharged me from what it was on blue book, so my "friend" Frankie... but I placed myself into the ideal getting conned situation, of needing a vehicle, and being on an extremely tight time limit, so paying the premium got me the nice car.
It's a nice car, I love it, it is a huge upgrade from the one I was driving. I'm extremely anxious now, cause that consumed a huge chunk of my savings, putting me down to below a grand in the bank for day or so before my next paycheck hit. That sucks, I was hoping to keep a big cushion of money to keep me safe. Well, I mean, it DID keep me safe, now it's just less able to keep me safe. I save a lot of money, I haven't turned on my furnace even once this whole winter, so my utility bill has been consistently very low. I don't have internet. I have no real vices besides spending a little on MTG every now and again. I think I have a meager and pitiful lifestyle that has being cost effective as its one real plus.
I have a feeling I'm gonna have to find a way to supplement my income, or get a new job, because just about a grand isn't a lot to have on hand if something goes wrong, because if something does go wrong, my meager lifestyle won't last long with my pittance of an income. Even with the job I have right now, I wonder if my job security is good enough, as I still wonder if my boss would just get rid of me if she could, as the department is just one person away from having a serious scheduling crisis, and even now it's kinda leery.
