Well, my car search has come to an end. I found my new wheels today I'll be finishing up the transaction over the course of the next couple days. Have to round up some cash-- difficult with the banks closed, it may have to wait til monday morning. However, I'm very satisfied with the car. I was really only looking for something that would hold me over for the next year or so. I honestly think this will run at least for another 3. It's a 91 Corolla, with almost no problems to speak of. Mechanically, we're looking at a possible radiator leak. But it's a cheap fix that my mechanic friend is going to assist me with.
With tax and title, we're looking at $1350. Not bad. And no car payment! Insurance isn't going to run me much, and I'll have a dependable set of wheels
In other financial news, I had another no-spend day (though tomorrow will be a major purchase). For the next few weeks I'm going to be working like crazy. Between the new job, and all these articles I'm going to be writing. I guess it works out that it's the end of BF's semester, and he'll be incredibly busy. Not only that, but after buying this car I'm going to be beyond broke. So I wont be going out much!
I guess it's a good thing I made out like a bandit at this book sale at the library the other day. I know, I probably shouldn't be spending money on books. I have so many. But I left the library with about 10 books and only spent $4.50. You really cant beat that.
The goal for tonight is to write another article and submit. I have 2 processing currently. I'm still getting set up at examiner.com, but I'm pretty excited about that. Tomorrow I have quite a few articles to write, as well as some web content for work. My boss is paying me $10/page. I also have to prepare for this tutoring session I have on wednesday. And plan to stop at the nursing home one afternoon this week. Even though I'll be busy, I still have to fit my volunteering in. And I have drill next weekend. So much to do!
Either way, it's exciting times around here, and I'm pretty pumped Successes all around. I hope everyone else is feeling as productive! Have a great evening, guys!
Found a car! Busy week coming up...
