Vent: I will never be out of debt :(

Anasara

So our plans for buying a house once we got back from India may have been thwarted. 

Boo.

While we were gone our cars were due for inspection.  My car is a 2010 Elantra so it passed no problem.  DH drives my old POS '96 Taurus.  It's been a great car, but it's getting old.  I figured we may have to fix a few things.  Ha!  Estimated repairs for it to pass inspection?  Almost $2k!  Like we have that kind of $$$ hanging around after we just spent most of our emergency fund (almost $3k) on tickets to India to deal with MIL. 

So we'll be car shopping this weekend instead.  I'll have to talk with the mortgage guy to see if this is going to screw our credit up (new car loan).  Not that we have money for a house downpayment now with everything that's gone wrong anyways.  And not like we need a house since we have no kids to put in one.

AAAAAUUUUUGGHHH!!!!!!

Hugs. I'm sorry you are dealing with unexpected expenses. Unfortunatly, I know how you feel... We just had to drop $2,000 on a new well pump so we could actually have water.

((hugs)) I'm sorry. We're having to face down our debt as we try to make it through adoption homestudy. It's so tough.

Yay!  I was on that a few mos. ago, it is good stuff. 

I feel ya on the bleeding $, we just had to sink $5K into our basement to get A/C and hot water back after the flood.  Good times.  I vote for renting.

I can definitely see why you are frustrated.  I hope things start turning around for you and that your mortgage rep can work something out so you can still get into a house.

omg.  I totally understand...  My credit card, has now surpassed what I owe on my car- due to IF expenses... ugh.

DH always tells me- which I want to ring his neck sometimes "things could be better, and things could be worse" which I find some truth in...

((hugs))

I'm sorry hun. I realy hope that things work out. I know it's not what you want to hear but I would be prepared for some problems with the loan mortgage though. Any new large loan is a red flag during that period. However, it's not the end of the world. You can always revisit home buying in a few months. I hope you don't have to though. Can you swing buying a cheaper car that you wouldn't have to have a large loan, if any at all?

I completely feel your pain on so many levels. We are just now getting back to a good place after my 10 month unemployment. We have one newer car and my old 98 Blazer that is getting really run down. We are trying our best to avoid having to take out yet another car loan. All our savings was wiped out with renovations to the house and my unemployment.

Keep your chin up. I'm always here to talk if you need to. We're glad you're back (((hugs)))
