A Way To Pay For An Unexpected Expense

August 22nd, 2009 by andik

Nobody has “extra cash” right now, and I am no exception to that rule. I’m not in dire straights or anything, but like many people I do live from paycheck to paycheck. I have cut down on how often I go out and how much I spend when I do go out. Any luxury items I want have been put on the back burner.

Coming home from work a few days ago a dog ran out right in front of my car. I swerved and missed the dog. But I ended up hitting the curb. It destroyed one of my tires and one of my rims. I put the spare tire on and went to the tire shop to see what the financial damage was going to be.

Did I mention that I live from paycheck to paycheck? I needed cash fast! I remembered seeing one of those sell gold jewelry for cash commercials on TV and knew that now was the time to act. So I gathered up my old watches that hadn’t been worn in years, a big gold class ring that no longer fit and a few chains and ended up getting cash for gold. I was able to get a new rim and tire by getting rid of jewelry I never wear.
