So far my year has been better than last. No major dings to my finances and debts are being paid. Right now, I'm adjusting to the fact that I don't have a working vehicle. A car that sits in the parking lot and doesn't move because I don't have the money to fix it. And there's definitely no extra money to pay for a new car. As of late I still don't know what I'm going to do with a broken down piece of junk. I'd love to just have it towed away as scrap metal and not worry about it. Which isn't a bad idea since I wouldn't continue paying car insurance for it. However, if I do "buy" another car, I'll need to have the insurance in place for whatever I buy. Here I am between a rock and a hard place about what to do with it.
As for my finances, the line of credit is slowly going down with each pay. It helps that I don't need to buy gas for the car. Not to mention that with the car, I could have easily hopped into it and went shopping whenever I felt like it. So, I'm saving money better. On the other hand it suck when I need to go grocery shopping and need a lot of food and other household items. The local transit was set up for people to go grocery shopping.
I can't complain though, I'm getting use to taking the bus to where I need to go. I actually get to see some of the city that I never get to look at while driving. I do miss having a vehicle to hop into and go where and when I want too. Unfortunately, that's the biggest problem to overcome this year, finding the means to get a new car. It's a long shot to win the lottery, last night's Lotto Max was up to $55 million and nobody won. Next week, it's up to $60 million and I'll play again, hoping that I win enough money to get me out of debt. That's going to be a long shot for anyone but it doesn't hurt to try.
