I reached a few goals today. My car needed some repairs and 3 jobs were done. I save $20.00 every month. It gets withdrawn from one account and automatically deposited into my savings account. I only need 2 repairs to go. One is going to have to wait until income tax next year, unless I am able to get about $750.00. The next repair I will be trying to fix costs about $500.00 and not sure where I'm getting this type of money. My dad would like to get a loan but I don't want to burden him with my money problems. I am picky where I take my car for repairs. I have been taking my car to the dealer since 1996 and have been satisfied every time. They are honest with me and I trust them. I might have to get someone else to repair my car. I don't feel right about this but I don't have the money at this time to pay what the dealer charges. I looked up 2 businesses on the BBB and both got a good rating. I also have a friend (ex-coworker) who is willing to help me out with my repairs. Will message him later on this evening. How do you save extra money that you will need for any upcoming expenses?
