Hit by the dreaded ILYBNILWY part 2

Mikey, maybe explain your financial situation to the dentist and see if the work can be prioritized. That's a huge financial hit to absorb all at once, but perhaps some of the work that can be postponed a while.

Good deal on the car, glad to hear you're taking control of things again! Congrats on the tickets!

Thanks, yea might be something I'll try and discuss with them.

So today I finalized everything for the car. Payments are $230 less and my insurance is $30 less so a total savings of $260 a month. The wedding loan has 5 more payments left so I'm getting close on that as well which will add another $150. Pretty excited, things are slowly turning around. I didn't quite want to get the car just yet, as I wanted to save and do the 401k loan, but with me driving the truck and spending over $100 a week in gas vs $40 I haven't been able to save and was having to start eating into what I did save just to get by. So I had to jump the gun, get the car while I had the money saved for the down payment and start fresh with saving toward the 401K loan. But this $260 a month plus fuel savings will help me get there quicker.
