mousmeDo you get rid of a car you're leasing?
Anyone know?
The best I can figure is to get someone else to take over the lease, but I don't even remotely know how that's done.
*sigh*
Must do drastic cutting back of expenses. Shoulda done that months ago, but denial ain't just a river in Egypt, apparently.
The car is, of course, the main expense. The lease plus the insurance and all that. Ayoye, as the local expression would have it.
Also, will have to look at Bell Canada bill and see if it's really meeting my needs. I think I took only a basic package, but it seems very expensive anyway.
*twitch*
I want to believe that the internet is not a luxury, but it sort of is, isn't it?
*sigh*
At least, this one month of free high-speed is a luxury.
*pout*
I then get three months at the same price as my old dial-up, as a special deal. So, I break even on that score. I don't know if I should keep the internet because it's good for looking for work, or if I should ditch the internet because it's too much of a distraction and costs a lot of money, relatively speaking. Not compared to the car, mind you, but it still adds up over the months.
My online games, while really special to me, shouldn't really be a consideration if I keep things in their proper perspective. If I want to not declare bankruptcy in the next few months, something's gotta give.
*kicks wall in frustration*

Date: 2004-05-08 05:54 am (UTC)Internet's not really a luxury anymore, given that so many employers want to contact people by e-mail, and a huge number of job postings are online-only. Not to mention that a huge part of your support system is primarily online... This advice *is* partly selfish, but would you really be better off without easy access to people who care about you (*cough* especially given your low-phone-use habits? *cough* :))
{{{{hugs}}}} It'll work out, sweets. By hook or by crook, you'll work it out.

Most of my support system *is* online, actually, and over the last few years increasingly so, what with people moving all over the map. We seem to be a very mobile country.You and Rich, Steve and Julia, Leslie, and this is just off the top of my head...
Thanks for the good thoughts. :)
