Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Could you cover a $1000 unexpected expense?

Well, I guess I'm the looooooser of the bunch. As of now, I would be hard pressed to cover a $1,000 surprise bill. To make matters worse my Diesel pickup (05 GMC) . stopped running . Yep, it was idling for about 1 min. and just stopped. It's in the shop now. With the $1,000 credit card payment coming up next week, and possibly the $1,000 truck repair, I will be hard pressed to come up with the money. However, let me explain. Thanksgiving weekend I had an 04 Malibu that had rusted out Subframe so bad the shop said dont drive it. I ended up with an 08 Chevy Impala with 45,000 mi. on it . Set me back $9,700. Come Jan. 3rd I put in my yearly ROTH for the wife and I . That set me back $14,000.. I have $1,000 in cedit card payments, a $1,000 home owners ins. payment due soon, and likely a $1,000 truck repair bill. so, no , right now I dont have $1,000 to spare. On January 3rd this year , I had a grand total of $ 207 left in my checking account. I do however, have a $2,000 check for a drywall job I can get soon and another $2800 invoice should be in the mail soon for a kitchen remodel. I am however all but broke at the time.
