    I just want to know what type of emergency only costs $500 anymore?

      A simple blown tire that renders you only reliable way to work that doesn’t pay enough to cover your basic living expenses is a catastrophic emergency that could cost around 500 bucks.

      A part of a tree falling on your windshield.

      Seriously, that’s what it ended up costing me, and I did part of the body work needed to be able to fit a new windshield in right. If I hadn’t kept the tools around, that would have been another 500.

      Mind you, the 500 I did pay out included some other body work I just couldn’t physically do. The glass and installation of the glass was “only” 150 ish (can’t remember what the tax was).

      The one before that, that was barely under 500 was the AC unit for the house freezing up and fucking the compressor.

      And 500 is a single emergency. You get hit by multiple, and you’re fucked .

        Had a tree limb fall during a storm and crush my wife’s car roof. That was an f.u. moment.

      Exactly. A cheap car repair is that with labor. Add kore than one thing in a few months and most people start to really bleed.
