Good News: 5th day no credit card use.
Bad News: My car broke down today (on the free way, with two small children and no cell phone!) It is costing $650
Good News: We are all ok. We had to wait 1/2 hour on the freeway until CalTrans came and pushed us out of traffic.
Bad News: CalTrans pushed us to the only available open spot there was-a bus stop. I got a $250 ticket for parking at a bus stop. They don't care that it was an emergency and I had my car towed within the hour.
Good News: After some time, I was able to reach my mom who came and picked us up. I rented a car dropped my 18 month old at daycare and my four year old son and I went to his school field trip to the zoo, only two hours late.
Bad News: The other day I cut up every one of my credit cards. I always kept them around for such an occasion only to rack up non-emergency debt, so I said enough is enough.
Good News: I have no credit cards to charge non emergency debt
Bad News: I have no way to pay the $650 with no credit cards.
Good News: I get $2000 on the 1st.
Bad News: The car will probably be ready tomorrow and I've used up my EF fund
Good News: I have learned what an EF fund is really for
Bad News: Not sure what I should do to come up with the money in the meantime. I could possibly ask my grandmother for a loan, write a credit card check to myself or the car place, borrow my husband's credit card.....
Good News: reading any suggestions that moght help!
