A Steep Hill to Climb

So here's the rub: my car was stolen. And I had a lot of clothes inside because I was going to do laundry. Winter clothes. Winter is well on its way. But now that I'm trying to limit my money, what the heck am I going to do about staying warm when it's only 17 degrees outside? Should I break down and buy additional sweaters (I have about five warm sweaters)? Or should I try to work some kind of miracle and rotate the five sweaters I have? And what about a coat? I don't have that either! Thieves are making it hard for me to budget.

Hopefully they find my car...as much as I hate old Ruby (my Dodge Neon who is 9 years old in November!), she's free. Paid for. Cheap, full coverage insurance from Progressive. Great fuel efficiency. I'm not really trying to take on a car note when I don't even have a full time job. Yes folks. I'll be attempting to pay off this debt while working part-time gigs (until I get my FT as an English teacher). So you see, even though old Ruby is a pain in my rear, cuz she needs a new motor, I need her. At least until I can afford a Corolla or a Civic or a, eh em, TSX :)

Off to bed: Practice #1 in increasing monthly money -- sleep better so I drink less coffee. I shouldn't need two cans per month!
