oh come on
I spend $16K on the basement, then my $2K laptop dies, now two days later my sister says they need $5K for [reasons]. I told her that it's a tough week for me to come up with more cash because I just shelled out $16K on the basement and T hasn't yet told me how he's going to pay me back for his half. I didn't tell her about the laptop, that's not really the issue. It's the $16K! Temporarily eating up my cash reserves.
But I'll have a conversation with T over the weekend and then crunch the numbers to see whether I can help my sister. It would help if by then I'd fixed my laptop -- if it is just a loose plug inside the case.
Ugh.
Perhaps I could organize a little telethon among my other siblings and see if we could each kick in $1K instead of relying on Bug to do the entire amount.
I'm looking into refinancing the house because we have enough equity now to get rid of the mortgage insurance, and then we could also take out a HELOC, but that takes time and I wanted to finish fixing the basement first to help with our appraisal.
Ugh.
What next, the week isn't over yet.
