Its The Little Expenses That Get You

You know what sucks about being in debt?

Every unexpected expense sets you further back and makes it more and more difficult to get back on your feet. 

My family has been hit with a series of challenges that put us up to our ears in debt and we’re doing our best to get out.  We didn’t go on vacation this year and we’ve done without a lot of little things that would have been fun. 

Its frustrating to always have to think about the bottom line and count your pennies.   Its even more frustrating to constantly get hit with unexpected expenses that under normal circumstances wouldn’t be a big deal…but when you’re loaded with debt they hurt.

My wife just called and told me the coffee pot was broken.  Won’t work at all.   Now I can’t live without coffee.  I’m a zombie every morning until I have a good strong cup. 

And its not like I splurge on Dunkin Donuts every morning (though I’d love to do just that!)

So now I have to go out and buy a new coffee pot.  It’s not going to cost that much really, but when you’re watching every dollar you spend it hurts.

Anyway, I’m done venting for today.
