Feh (more minor financial woes)

[mousme]

Just got a notice in the mail for an allegedly unpaid parking ticket from something like January. Bugger. At least it seems to be the only one. I could've sworn I'd paid them all on time, but then I got so many in January and February when the signs on my street changed that I might well have missed one. I swear, some random white-collar worker out there is keeping his job because of me. X(

*sigh*

Am paying that off right. fucking. now. so I don't have to worry about it later.

Paying off my apartment insurance today too.

I ask you: why is my car insurance five times more expensive than my home insurance? My home insurance is about $170, and my car insurance is over $1000. So expensive, in fact, that I have to spread the payments equally over twelve months, otherwise I wouldn't be able to afford it. :P

I must call Hydro Quebec (the electric company) to equalise my heating bills too, since my Idiot!Landlord threw me a curve (see my post from about two weeks ago on the subject) with how much the bloody thing costs. Then again, at least now I'll be getting the bills here (rather than the Idiot!Landlord getting them and not informing me that he wasn't paying the goddamn bills).

*eyes light up*

Ooh! There's a form here that I can fill out without going through Customer Service! Yay! *fills out form*

Okay... so I'm going to get that withdrawn automatically too (that feature SO keeps me sane instead of keeping track of all the stupid bills that come in every month). I wish I could do that with my rent, but no way am I letting the Idiot!Landlord anywhere near my bank account even if I could... ^^;

The man's an ass. I might even go so far as to say he's an asshat, but I don't think he's intelligent enough to qualify. :P

After that, if I continue to sort of make money and pay off my credit card a little bit at a time, I may in fact see the light at the end of the tunnel for my financial troubles. That would be nice.

All righty. So now I'm off to:

A) Mail four (4) letters. Three bills and one personal.

B) Stop by Chapters to see if they have a book I'm looking for.

C) The Nautilus Plus club on Mount Royal, to do a work-out.


This seems feasible to me.

That, my dear, is because, like me, you're under the magic age of 25 and are thus a part of the age bracket where the most vehicular mishaps occur (we even beat out the 70-plus hat-wearers).

*sigh* Two more years...

Anyway, you're right.

I'm still annoyed. ^_^

Hey, at least you've only got about a year left to go. I've got two - and worse than that I own what is still classed as a 'new car'. Luckily, like you, I pay by the month (well, fortnight) so I don't miss it that much.
