Have you ever added up all of your debts?ALL of it?
All the little things?
(or big)
Like student loans, car loans, "parent" loans, mortgage, credit cards (cringe cringe).
(not that I have all of these, just 1/2 of them...ok maybe 3/4...but who's counting?)
Here's a "Rachel-ism"
Money-Honesty...
Seriously...it's a little daunting. All of those zeros and commas. But you know what I wish?
I wish I COULD blame it ALL on the economy. But I can't. It's mine (well, ours).
With or without the slumping money issues we'd still have this debt.
You might be thinking..."Dear, sweet, Rachel...what brought these deep thoughts on?"
(want a real deep thought, click here)
If you must know, the "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" light appeared on my dashboard this morning.
(sigh)
Talk about putting a damper on a perfectly good Thursday!

Just try to top our week in cars: On Monday I took my car to be inspected--it passed just fine. Then Dave had 2 tires blow out in 14 hours, and I had to rescue him on the side of i-30 in Tuesday morning rush hour traffic. I of course had the lovely job of driving a car with 2 spares 20 miles back to Rockwall, lights flashing because I couldn't go faster than 50 mph. I went to buy 2 new tires, only to have the tire guy tell me the alignment was so bad I better take it straight to get fixed, otherwise the other 2 tires would go. So I get the alignment fixed, and of course they find a leaky water pump and a soggy belt that is about to snap and a couple of other things. $1400 later, and it's no wonder I keep Emma's clothes on the floor of her room while I wait to buy her a dresser...
Student loans are the killer, aren't they!?!?! I remember when Spencer graduated from school and thinking... "we are more than 1/4 million dollars in debt from student loans with no current employment, no place to live, and kids to take care of... what are we ever going to do?" Life goes on and someday those student loans will be paid off.... ah, SOMEDAY!
Hey Rachel, check out on what the birthday brought to me this morning, life is interesting?!?!?!
I would like to invite certain people to add their debt up just give them a reality check . . . maybe not, they would have a heart attack.
I love the real deep thought. Makes me laugh. Stephen and I just got all of our hard core numbers figured out. Living on commission is sure a stressful way to live. Zeros and and commas make it that much scarier. Good luck with the car, ours have been doing that to us too. GRRR
