Well, I started work earlier this week... it is an odd feeling knowing that I will be reporting to this company every working day of my life for an indeterminate amount of time... I am so used to "summer jobs" and going back to school, it's weird knowing that is not gonna happen this time.
Anyways, I am living at home to save some money. Unfortunately, that isn't happening. You see, I live 25 miles away from my office -- no big deal, except there are no freeways to connect me there. I have to take two-lane backroads. Needless to say, they are logjammed. My commute during rush hour takes 1 hour, 20 mins on average. I have burned through a tank and 3/4 of Sunoco Ultra 94 gasoline in one week. Basically, my average speed is 18 mph, and my fuel economy is around 9 mpg.
I can't afford this
I am still making my car payment + insurance, and now a $200 a month gas bill...
I am gonna have to give something up...
No, no... not that. What I think I am going to do is pick up a reliable, fuel efficient, daily driver. A Toyota Corolla -- maybe the single greatest sensible, practical car ever made. I am going to put the WS6 in storage, and forego the rest of my summer with her With simple theft and fire insurance, that payment shrinks dramatically, and driving the Corolla drops my gas payment down to about $60 a month or so. It looks like I might actually be able to save some money doing this, in addition to gettng my daily driver.
Now, my job is heavily commission based and there is some super opportunity for some LARGE commissions... and that means mod money
I'll have her back out next year, and with a vengeance... but it looks like I am goiing to have to sacrifice this summer in order to do it
BTW: I am your guy if you want to re-finance your home, or buy a new one
