We took "stitch" in for his 90,000 mile maintenance check... and this time my STRUTS were shot and needed to be replaced.
***Face Palm***
Between the 90k service, the struts and a few other minor things, we had to pay another $715.57 in car repairs this month. Apparently there are a few other things that are in the "watch" category that don't need to be addressed at the moment, but most likely will the next 5,000 miles....
Why do I feel like this annual goal of mine to have a car emergency fund will never actually happen because of all the car repairs we keep having to endure?
But I am grateful that we aren't living off both our incomes so we can cash flow this again...
It's going to be a tight rest of the month since we had already spent some money on some things BEFORE this happened, (like the bed frame, my garden and some things i've yet to blog about)... but thankfully this month is a 3-paycheck month for me so were hoping there will be a little extra cash on that check that can go towards these repairs so we don't dip into savings.... cause right now we need to find $200 to break even.
