July 1, 201511 yr ..........yesterday, my car battery died.. well.... as long as my car was started and run daily, or every other day at the worst, it would JUST hold a charge... Given it was 4.5 years old, I wasn't disappointed, BUT as today is P day, informed the mechanic that he'd have to come back today, to which he offered a 10 day account!!!! So, not only did I get my battery yesterday, but the BEST part is that today, I can actually PAY for it!!!!! and still have money left over!!!! As a smoker, my fortnightly 'cigi money' was MORE than the cost of a new battery, ($160) so it's put EVERYTHING in better perspective for me!!! (My pension is $898 p/ft) NO MORE STRUGGLING and going without the bare NECESSITIES of life, just to feel ashamed and angry with myself!!!!! WOOOOOHOOOOO!!!
July 2, 201511 yr Isn't it wonderful to be able to buy things that we actually need once we kick that disgusting addiction to the curb! I actually wonder how the heck I afforded it sometimes!
July 2, 201511 yr I'm with DD - how the heck did I afford to smoke??? It's nuts!! I keep a ten dollar bill in my car for more than a day????? Say whaaaaaaaaaaaaat? Awesome.
July 4, 201511 yr Good for you, isn't it great to be able to buy stuff we actually need, rather than buying those stupid smelly cigs!
