| Unexpected expenses really suck. But I guess it had to happen eventually...
I thought I would be nice to my car and take it in for its 100k service. And how does it thank me? A leaking fuel pump! Unfortunately that repair could not be deferred for safety reasons so I had to spend over $1000 to fix it, causing a hold on the spark plugs and timing belt for now (which will be another $700-800 later).
Let's combo that with a freaked out market (thanks Greece) and it looks like a temporary pause in the net worth department. The only saving grace was some extra music jobs in June. My long-term goals will have to be pushed back a few months unless I get a nice boost with freelance work, but that has really dried up at the moment. (Not that I'm complaining, it's nice to have some off time and not spend all day in front of the screen.) But if I expect to get this new home office and new car funded by end of next year, I'll need to step it up a bit. |
