Car repairs and emergency fund.

December 4th, 2007 at 03:30 pm

This time it is $400 - to replace the timing belt and some water pump or other... The heat is blowing weirdly.
Sucks! It is a very unrewarding way to spend money.

But it made me think of people who say that car repairs "it couldn't have come at a worse time"(Like there is ever a good time to be separated from your hard earned cash?) and blame car repairs for their financial struggles.

I suppose in the grand scheme of things it is ok because we have the money and it won't put us in trouble. Though it sucks!

But it is common logic, unfortunately: if you have a car it will at some time need repairs. Guaranteed. If you have teeth, you will need to see the dentist, if you have a house, something will need to be fixed sooner or later. Nothing is eternal. Some people can't get that and never have money set aside for these inevitable things.

    Good point. I think if people adopted your attitude, then no one would really lose it when they got a flat tire, or learned they'd need a root canal, becus sooner or later, thru random luck, we all deal with those things.

    About the car repairs, i couldn't agree with you more...a very unrewarding way to spend money.
