My Worst Year(Rant & Very long post)
7 years ago
General
Soooooo this year has been pretty terrible. The only good thing that has happened has been getting a job but even that didn't even help much.
Right after I was hired and worked for about a week a bogan neighbour of mine kicked in the door to my unit and tried to choke my partner. I punched the neighbour in the face but unfortunately fell over and he turned his attention to me, pinning me against the cupboards and kneeing me in the face multiple time, luckily guy's ex was around and pulled him off me. He ran off but turned himself in to the Police later. I went to the hospital just to be safe and I was completely fine but since I didn't have ambulance cover I was hit with a hefty fine, well over $1000. So my partner and I went to the Victims of Crime group and they are helping deal with the ambulance fine and get us compensation.
Now we are looking for a new place to move to but as well as stressing over that, I was pulled over driving by Police from Morwell because the registration had expired back in November. So that was another fine we payed off, we could afford that one.
However, the new stress on me right now is that I wanted to get the car under my name because it was still under my Nana's name and that's why my Dad and I never got a notice about the registration expiring.(My Nana passed away and the retirement home didn't know who to send it to somehow).
So I took the car in to the mechanic for a road worthy test and was told I would need to spend estimated around $3500 in repairs. So I will need to decide on either saving that amount or just get a new car. I am leaning towards getting a new car.
So that is what I have been dealing with over the past 3 months. Struggling to save money and life just keeps throwing things at my partner and I. Thankfully friends and family are there to help me out and keep me positive. I can't thank my brother enough to drive my partner and I around to where we need to be while we hunt for a new car and new home.
I hope in the future i will look back at this time in a better position.
