The car accident really put a dent in everything, after you a few pictures of the cars here.
I really bad prang, the car was a total write-off, and of course as it was my fault my insurance paid out on it. But now they've cancelled my insurance in the future, and I'm a bit stuck.
Over the last few weeks I've been checking into the cost of replacement insurance. I phoned all those places on the TV, you know the ones that say they'll ensure anybody. Well bugger me, they won't.
Well, they will, the one company who I won't name here in case it gets deleted, wanted four a half thousand dollars a year for insurance force driving a simple coupe. You know just a 1.6 L coupe, and they want four a half grand a year! Who can afford that? Okay, some of the other quotes or a little less but I haven't found a project that is under $3900 a year. I simply can't afford that, for a start, it's almost twice the cost of my car. And my car is not bad.
Everything's got more expensive since the accident, insurance, money in other places of course, but now just getting to and from work is going to cost me a fortune. I can use public transport, a taxi would cost me about $60 a day there and back, or there is a train followed by bus followed by a second train, we could end up costing me about $40 a day taking me nearly 3 hours each way.
Yes I could do that, but it would mean giving up at 4:30 in the morning and catching the 5:10 train, and I wouldn't be home at night until almost 9 o'clock. I know my boss will still expect me to go in, but by about Wednesday the first week be that exhausted I don't know whether i'll to make in on Thursday. It's not really much of a life when your entire waking time is spent travelling to and from work or at work. I don't even know when I'll have time to eat tea or have a shower.
The end of the day, I'm worried that I may lose my job because of this, it really isn't feasible to carry on working when I'm going to have to spend almost 50% of my salary getting to and from work, or 30% of my salary getting to and from work but having a 76 hour working week.
All in all, I need to get my finances in shape, I can't go on like this. I reckon i'll be in the poor house before long, I don't know how much longer I can carry on not knowing what the future holds. Maybe it will be best if I quit my job, and find something local. But there aren't any jobs advertised. The jobs section in my local paper says jobs section, and then there are no adverts, and then it moves straight onto motorcars and transport. Four years ago there were three pages of jobs, small ads big ads jobs all over the place, now there is not even one.
Anyway that's enough of me waffling on, I need to get myself sorted. Time to make a real start and get sorted. Sorry to bore you in my first blog post but that's the way it is take catch you all around
