Went running to blow off some steam. It's a long story, but my car got towed last night and I had to drop $400 to get it back. I was saving that for car repairs that I was already stressed about, so now I'm screwed. Had to apply to take out a personal loan today because I can't really wait to repair my car. I think I'll hear back about that on Monday so I'm just crossing my fingers I get approved. Planning on paying it off as fast as I can, the loan will be for 2 years but I'm hoping to pay it all back within a few months. Might get a second job just to get me out of this hole.
Just trying to be positive. I'm grateful I had a credit card so that I could pay the $400, otherwise I might not have gotten my car back. They needed it all up front, and each day it was in the lot the fees go up, so I needed to get it back asap. Just a really crappy situation, ultimately it's my fault for not seeing the signs at the entrance to the parking lot about needing an authorization to park there, but I'm mad because multiple people who knew about it failed to let me know my car could get towed.
I was just starting to feel like I could breathe, like I don't have to worry about where my next meal will come from. I finally had a couple hundred extra and was starting to get back to weekly therapy etc. but now I'm back to struggling, I have to make it a week on $200 and have a psychiatry appointment on Monday, which is $55, and then I drive so much for work that I have to fill up twice within a week, so there goes another $100 because gas is expensive and my car has terrible gas mileage, and I have no food because I need to go grocery shopping... so now I'm stressed. Ugh. I thought I was past this, but when it rains it pours right? Multiple car repairs need to be done, plus the towing, just unforeseen circumstances.
