Car crap

[judecorp]

So the Nissan dude finally got back to me and said that they aren't getting any new cars for the rest of the month and said we'd have to wait. I told him we couldn't wait that long and he said he would get back to me. So I'm starting to think the Versa is a bust. We can try to call a couple of other dealers but no one seems to have them and we can't wait a month for a car. So frustrating. I hope they don't give us a hard time when we go get our deposit back.

We're in the process of househunting and honestly, I don't know how people can afford to buy houses. We're actually looking at cheap houses (for New England) and the monthly payments, with taxes, will be pretty close to what we're paying now, probably. I thought we were moving to SAVE money. Argh. So now Jen will be making less money and we'll have more expenses. Hopefully I won't be taking a pay cut, too, or I'll be working two jobs and the babymaking will go out the window. Phooey.

I'm sure this is just stress talking but right now I just think that I was foolish to think that things were starting to work out. Bleh. We need a car and a place to live, STAT!

p.s. I'm glad that House and SVU are back into new episodes.

Yes, I know that you can deduct property tax and mortgage interest. In fact, mortgage interest deductions are the single largest Federal welfare programs in the United States! (Go go social work school.) And while I am jazzed about lower income tax, I also know that we have to pay our day-to-days, and that's what scares me... not what might come off the back end at tax time.

I'm sure it will all work out. I'm just SO TIRED of struggling and having us both make together less than most of the people we know make alone.
