Well, I don't want your husband, b/c I'd have to trade you straight across, and I KNOW you wouldn't go for that; but I can tell you that you're not alone. My car reg. was almost 5 months overdue b/c we couldn't afford it. We finally got that paid (and b/c it was so late, the fines were almost double, so it was almost $600), and about a week later, we realized my dh's tags were due
. He HAS to drive b/c he's the one who works and he works a long way away from here. He still needs to renew his tags and needs new back tires (so do I, but I don't drive on the freeway like he does) and that's over $600. Luckily, when we had to renew the insurance, the insurance company said that they could do it monthly (they automatically take it out of his checking each month), so that helped a little. I don't even drive anywhere much anymore b/c the gas is so expensive; no more little drives just to check things out around town anymore. I know EXACTLY how far $10 worth of gas goes in my car; thank goodness the "Range" feature seems pretty accurate so far; yesterday I was down to 3 miles left when I got to the gas station. It's terribly humbling when you realize how much EVERYTHING costs. On the other hand, I am thankful that I even have a car and a roof over my head. And a Yorkie that we love more than anything!
