I just cant get a break

I've been tryin to save some $$$$$ for a while now. I've gotten some extra security jobs and made the $$$. But, my daughters blazer blew a intake gasket, the jeep she borrowed from my Mom fuel pump went out. Then the dryer quit and I had to buy a new one. Now the washing maching wont spin. Got to checking on it and its a direct drive model and the replacement part is 2/3's the price of a new washer. Shocked

I'm just about ready to give up.

Sh!t happens, and you just gotta grin and bear it sometimes.
It is tough economy world wide right now.

Yup, hang in there, lets see washer, dryer, transmission (car) and furnace all in two weeks!! It's a ball buster but you have got to hang tough, oh and 2 weeks ago hot water heater went south. Never give up!!!

As Elvis said...been there, done that mate...got the scars.

Hang in there...you still have your health and your family, so if nothing other than that, you are blessed.

Kick back, relax, and enjoy life. There is ample enjoyment at home without worrying about going out on the town...and the savings will soon catch up mate.

Cheers, Vince

It's just how the ball bounces sometimes !!!

No doubt you'll get through it as we all have at one time or another.
Hang in there and think about the positive in your life not the negative.
Good times to come.....hopefully sooner than later !!!

If your washer is 5+ years old don't even consider fixing it.
Replace it with one of the names under the Whirlpool banner. They only difference is the outside appearance..... internally they're the same machine.

Dont sweat the small stuff, in the grand scheme of life, its hardly a ripple, annoying but still a ripple.

Stay positive; go buy the appliance.....then take the old one out to a secluded area and shoot the living crap out of it.....stress relief of the highest order! I'm sure you will feel a million times better.

I have to say that having spent many years being crapped on by Karma, I'm now so laid back about things that go wrong, I need distance glasses to see a dachshund's belly. Very Happy

Getting worked up over something that I couldn't prevent only led to feeling even worse, so I decided a few years back to no longer give a £$%&.

I'm much happier now. Very Happy

I feel your pain.
Seems like just when you have extra money, something blows up, and there goes the bucks. Sad

Like the gang says, hang in there.
Things have to get better. Very Happy
