Eh, Getting Ahead is Overrated Anyway

I have to laugh. Because at a certain point it just gets funny.

Mr. ZigKvetch just called. That funny sound the car started making this weekend turned out to be nearly $1K worth of work. Frozen brake calipers, fried brakes, excellence all around. And we're way overdue to replace the timing belt (another $400). And this is our "good" car. And then there are our regular bills, the dentist, union dues, excise taxes, real estate taxes, the new computer we ended up having to buy (it's a necessity for us), etc., etc., etc.

Every time we start building up a little savings, it gets blown. Isn't that grand? Get it? Grand? A-HAHAHAHAHAHA! (Insert continuation of mad cackling here.)

I have an old Monty Python song in my head:

Here comes another one
Here it comes again
Here comes another one
When will it ever end?
