The Oops and The No's

May 27th, 2006 at 10:40 pm

Well, DH found a lovely car he would like to buy, but unfortunately because we are paying off our debt "the hard way", I told him there is no possible way to squeeze out a car payment with all of the high interest CC debt floating around. He was good about accepting that.
The really bad news is that my paycheck bounced. Boy, it really took it a while. I called my office manager on her cell and told her. I feel bad because it is not her fault. Oh well, nothing we can do till Tuesday, but she said she would try to get the boss to give me cash (adding in for fees and "pain and sufferig".) This is the second time it has happened. I do not look forward to telling DH.....however, this is a good point for staying at home (right Ray??). I could be saving lots more and no bounced checks! At least hubby got some money from his jobs, so I will see what I can pay. I hate being in this position. We have the money, we just can't seem to get it paid to us!

    Wink You know my answer to that!

    That's not good that your paycheck bounced Frown. Hopefully they can make it up right away since your mortgage was coming up....

    Also, I hope this doesn't keep you and your family from your Memorial weekend plans!!...DH was good about the car, but you both a right to be upset about the check and the not-so-convenient timing of the bounce!

    Consider calling your bank and asking about hardship payment arrangements. I know BoA does this. They can be surprisingly nice about it, just consolidate all your loans, cards, etc., and help you pay it off. I asked my personal banker about this before for another poster, and this is what she recommended.

    Enjoy your weekend. You can always bring the gang out here and play on my soccer field!
