i'm becoming a statistic.

i have a new car payment. that makes two, folks. just give me 2.5 kids and a $1500/month house payment, and i'm the American dream. well, it's more like a friggin' nightmare. how in the heck am i supposed to make two car payments plus give Texas Tech their usual 60 gazillion dollars every month? they don't teach you that solution in college, that's for sure. while i start listing my pet rock collection on e-bay in a desperate attempt to bring in some cash, you check out the pics of my bitter half's 'new' car. it's a 2002 Ford Taurus with all the amenities. it's cool and all, but i'll stick with my Honda. after all, my patriotism only goes so far...
