Unexpected Surprise
Hmmm you may be thinking as you read the title. I wonder if the surprise is anything good. Maybe a birthday cake. Maybe some found money. Maybe the surprise is "everyone gets a car!!!!" Sorry Oprah. Just had to. Nope. The surprise is not actually a good thing. I received in the mail an unexpected bill for $565. Ouch. That hurt. That actually really hurt because we had to take part of the money out of our emergency fund. I admit, I kind of freaked out over it. The worst part is the bill really wasn't that unexpected. It was for car insurance that is due every six months. I had gotten slazish (lazy/slacker) and forgotten to calculate the amount of money needed to be put away every month so that the car(s) insurance could be paid. Dave Ramsey would say that I just paid some stupid tax. Some of you may be saying it is ONLY five hundred bucks. Some of you may tell me it isn't that ...
