case of the mondays...
So today was just really really shitty.
The beginning wasn't so bad. I woke up, got dressed, and went to hang out with my sister at her apartment. Then my mom and my cousin Mia came over and we hung pictures, and I built a chair. Charlotte fed me pizza. All good stuff.
Then my dad calls me...
Tells me that I have to give my car back to his boss on monday cause that's when the lease is up.
No big deal. I knew the lease was gonna be up soon anyways.
But then he tells me that the buy out on the car was gonna cost me $10,500 if I wanted to do that... Sooo... no fucking way was I gonna do that. It seemed at first that my dad's boss was trying to scam me into paying him more money than what the car was worth, cause it's worth on blue book was only $8500. But... it turns out he was right... and with the overage on the miles, that's what it would have came to for me to buy it off of him.
So I decided to go to the Saturn dealership in Southgate and see what they had used wise for Ions or even see how much it would cost to lease a new one. They didn't really have anything in the used part, but then I was talking to one of the guys and he put the idea in my head that I could lease a new one for only $225 a month. Not too bad, right? But then... I didn't even take into consideration about insurance. I don't know what the fuck I was thinking not even considering that into the overall payments per month... So say I totaled that into the cost for the payment per month... I would cost me $400 a month for a car.
Yeah... I don't think so...
So I came home really fucking upset cause I'm thinking I'm gonna be car-less again for a while just like when I was after I got into that accident back almost a couple years ago. Shitty shitty...
So I get home, and I'm pretty bummed about that cause I've been running around all day trying to figure something out that I can do, and I also got my Verizon bill in the mail today. I was actually excited about it cause I had up-ed my text messaging so I had THOUGHT that my bill wasnt going to be stupidly huge, right? WRONG.
Fucking went over in my minutes cause everyone that I talk to now a days doesn't have Verizon so I use up all my non-IN minutes. So I owe a sweet $230 by Aug. 1st. Fucking awesome...
So I'm bummed out to the max to say the least... My girlfriend did cheer me up with a cute little joke and a pep talk though :] So that was good...<3
Then my mom comes upstairs and we start talking about everything... We decided to go to the bank early tomorrow morning and she's gonna co-sign a loan for me to take out for $6000. I've already got $1000 in the bank so that'll give me a good $7000 for a car. I can live with that... We checked out this one dealership online and they have 3 Ions all for $5900.
So... plan is...
Apply for loan early tomorrow.
Check out cars later in the week when I get my loan cause it only takes a little less than a week to process.
If all goes well... I SHOULD have a new Ion by next week... I'm really really hoping that I do :/
I don't know if I can handle driving my mom's gas guzzling Jeep for a long extended period...
Keep your fingers crossed for me.
Either way... if tomorrow goes good or bad, at least I'll get to spend the rest of my day with Amanda<3
Thank god... I miss her...
