Well that figures

If you're a regular reader you may have remembered my goal of saving for a mixer. Well, I found out today that goal will be put on the back burner for a couple of months.

My husband went to the auto repair guy in town to talk to him about our suburban and pick his brain about our front end. Turns out it is the ball joints and it is going to cost about $800 to get it fixed. Nice. Instead of putting $800 into a gas guzzler we're going to buy another car. We've been talking about it for awhile but I guess we're going to have to jump into action. Of course it's going to be a couple months before we can make up the money for another car.

Figures though.

Ain't that just the way it goes though?? Never ending costs pop up. We went to do our car repair this weekend and discovered we might as well redo the entire exhaust and such, so we have put the work on hold for a bit.
Good luck finding a car.

I can certainly relate. Our big ticket item needs (washer\dryer, freezer, new bed, etc...) keeps growing but the more we try to save the more unexpected expenses pile on.
We seen to survive just fine. I guess my needs are really needs - yet anyway.

I hate when we get those big car repair bills. We bought a new Kia Sportage last year that gets very good mileage. My husband and I both like it very much. We would recommend that to you.
