So unexpected expenses thus far:
During DLC, Jenna had to shell out ~$1300 to fix the car, so she could drive down to LA to get a copy of her birth certificate(needed it now, takes 8 weeks to get by mail). Good thing we did, since what we knew wasn't working(cruise control) turned out to be not the only thing wrong. Good odds her BREAKS would have failed on that long trip if we hadn't taken it in.
Shortly after, cat goes to vet because he's vomiting every day. $500 for the vet to tell us that he doesn't know what's wrong. Will be another $300 to get some test results once we can afford it. Thankfully, cat is no longer throwing up every day, so its waiting until next paycheck.
Get a notice that Jenna missed a court date due to a traffic violation and failure to pay the fine. We go "what the fuck, what fine?". Jenna calls the contact number, finds out they sent the notice of the violation(running a red light apparently) to the house we lived in...over two years ago. But apparently were able to send the notice that we hadn't paid so her license was suspended to the right address? $400 for the ticket + $500 for missing the court date, and it's not their problem that they sent it to the wrong address. They sent it! We didn't get it, so that's our fault.
Not unplanned, but $300 for child's band fees(band gets no money from school, 100% supported by parents...). Just came at a bad time. Putting it off is not an option, they won't let him in band if we don't pay now.
All told, that's $2700 in surprise expenses with another $300 in "we knew it was coming, but shit timing" + $300 more on the horizon. All within a 3 week span.
I do not have language strong enough for all of this.
