Christmas is over and all those - "Well, I'll deal with the credit card next month' days are upon us, well almost, New Years is in a few days. Teri kept saying she wanted to get the girls automatic car starters. I thought it was a bad idea, the cars being old and how many years will they keep them. It was their favorite gift and they can't wait to get them installed.The Girls gave me money as part of my gift. I want to put an expensive radio in the Grand Am. It will be AM, FM, have Sirius, be blue tooth and maybe have GPS. All of that will be more then $500.00, big money for a radio in 2018 and even in 2019!(that's a joke. I'm told no one gets my jokes) it's big money.
The Girls have also put big money into their cars this month. I feel bad for them, but it was something that needed to be done. The big question is when is it too much money. Nastia was given my car. It has 155,000 miles on it. I knew it needed some work, but David her boyfriend found more that it needed and she spent $1055.00 on it. ( yeah, big money in 2018 and even 2019). It needed a head gasket, brakes, two front tires, more stuff then I can remember.Elena gave Nastia $700.00 for the repairs she did on the Toyota that Teri's father used to drive. then recently she hit a curb and a new tire and straightening out the rim cost $47.00. New Struts and a power steering hose set her back another $1,300.00, When is it too much? At this point both have cars they are happy with and run safely, god willing.
Next they get the automatic starters installed. At least Teri prepaid for that.
