So.....
A follow-up to my whole "money sucks" post.
We have had some pretty shitty luck here lately. Money is pretty tight right now to begin with, but now it's starting to get ridiculous. We had one of our cats get pretty sick, and needed surgery. It was $2800. I know that seems high, but he's our cat and we got him repaired. That's more than I spent for my truck, but whatever. I chatted with some very nice people with a debt-management firm to try to get our finances a bit more under control, and it looks like that's our only way out. We were about to get all the paperwork taken care of for that when someone wiped out my wife's checking account via an ATM somewhere, so now that's on hold. The universe really owes me right now so I'm thinking it's high time I started playing the lottery.
