I want to prefice this entry by saying I am more grateful than I can say that DD3 was not injured in her accident. We are truly, truly blessed that she was ok.
Our insurance company is not going to payoff the car, rather they will pay what they feel the car is worth minus our deductible plus subtract for each ding the car had....oh and the rust on the tire. Luckily, the interior upholstry didnt sag.
So...a car we owned less than 6 months, that was less than low blue blue book when we bought it...plus I put $500 down and paid on it for 6 months...and we still have a deficit of almost $1000 from what the insurance is paying and what I owe. ARGH.
I am sure that if she gets another vehicle, it will cost and arm and a leg to insure her.
But again. I am grateful this is our biggest challenge this week and not hospital bills or worse.
Fortunately, I have enough saved to payoff the car. Obviously, leaving it in savings would have been my first choice...especially over paying off something that is worthless. sigh.
Ok, end of rant. DD3 is ok, and thats whats important. Money...just painfully replaceable.
Crash and burn....at least that's what it feels like today.

DD is OK and that is what truly matters. The rest of the stuff can be annoying though. Keep up the attitude of gratitude! There are many blessings to be thankful for! (That is what I've been reminding myself of lately!)
