You can buy a big diamond or a fancy car for 30K
So today we had another contractor (we'll call him Marvin) come over to check out the job and give us an estimate... To our amazement, there is a lot more shoddy work than we anticipated... we're talking 30K to start and then the sky is the limit..... ARRRRGGGHHH.
To think of all the things I could do with that money. It makes me sick to think how long it took me to save that kind of money.... I don't have that kind of money, that's a %^$*-en nice car for %#&@-sake! I get that sinking feeling like... when did Tom know he was going to screw us over and take off with our money? How long was he planning it? I feel like such a sucker. He was so well-mannered and charming... too good to be true... well YEAH you idiot.
So here we are in our mid-life, living like a poor college student again. Jammed in a small bedroom, stuff piled up around us and eating ramen from a hot pot while our contractor's fiance is probably sporting a new 30K rock on her finger, care of yours truly.
