Warning: This is going to be a sarcastic ride!
So ... I've found an amazing way to save LOTS of money. I mean, just oodles!
While you're driving home from picking your daughter up school ...let your brakes give out. Completely. Oh yeah, it's a thrilling experience. Luckily, we were on my parents street when I lost them ... and I don't know how far away, but it wasn't "life threatening" ... though I almost took out their trash can.
Let me say though ... I'm saving boatloads of money! I've been carless for about 4 days now ... and other than the cost of parts I am going out to buy tomorrow ... I haven't been able to spend any money lately. YAY! There's no way to "run to Wal-mart for a couple of things" that I just "have to have!" Darn.
I'm also on the same tank of gas from two Fridays ago ... and with half a tank left in it. Of course, that doesn't hurt that I am now living at my parents, maybe a mile or two down the road from work. Yeah ... it doesn't get any easier than this.
My friend and his brother and law were going to work on my car tomorrow ... but his dad was put in the hospital this morning for a possible heart attack. We are all very worried, since the man keeps saying things like "If something happens to me ..." or "You all know you have to take care of your mother ..." Of course, we're all hoping he's just worried, worried about being in the hospital, worried b/c he could be sick ... you know, not that the doctors have told him something and he doesn't want to tell the family. His wife had a stroke last year ... and he's obviously very worried about her. These people aren't "old" by any means ... but it's shocking when you see the mortality of your friend's parents up front.
Needless to say ... I am ready for this week to be over!
Oh, and the new Bank of America ATM's SUCK for deposits. UGH!
A new way to save money!

I didn't know BofA got new ATM's. I guess I'll be testing it out on Monday.
