$$$tress!

I know, who isn't? I feel like I've done some growing up in the past few years, up until my father passed away, I was always borrowing money for rent, groceries, electricity, etc. I haven't had anyone to borrow money from so I don't. I make it stretch and last now. So I was doing really well, until last month. I bought a newer suburban, was thrilled about looking like a respectable adult, was thrilled about having a vehicle that was new enough that I wouldn't have to worry about dumping hundreds of dollars in each month just so it would run. Then I fucked it all up...was so busy scraping money together to finish off my down payment that I neglected to pay the insurance...

SIDEBAR: I had cigarettes, satellite tv, cable internet, cell phone, but no insurance?!?!?

Then it happened: I hit someone. Stupid, don't even have the excuse of being drunk, I just wasn't paying attention...How many times have I been driving, talking on my cell, fucking with the stereo, etc and nothing has happened. Yet this time, I was doing non of the above, and ran right into some chick. So now I have a $371 car payment, gonna lose my license, getting sued, etc. My own fault, don't get me wrong, this isn't

"POOR ME"

this is just idiotic.

It's just when you think you are getting it all together that you fuck it up and have to start over from square one again.

So...now I have to sell the boat, bought a beater Volvo, or Vulva as Jim likes to say, to drive in the interim until my burb is fixed (which could be forever away considering the boat isn't selling, weird, it's November, who doesn't want to buy a ski boat in November???) and I am the absolute worst person about saving cash for ANYTHING.

Oh well, 30 is minutes away it seems, and adulthood? Years, again.
