My father used to say that whenever it rains, it pours.
When things were tough, love health concerns or unforeseen financial crises, the worst seemed to never let up.
At the time we had a roof leak one year that resulted in many thousand dollars worth of water mangle in our attic as well as the top floor of our house. Just a week later, we had a plumbing leak the affected the ground floor separately. All in all, my parents weren’t prepared for the catastrophes. They were forced to take money from our Grandparents to make the necessary repairs before more mangle was done. Now that I am their age, I am experiencing the exact same type of drawbacks, time as well as time again. I started noticing acceleration troubles in our car as well as was hoping I just needed a new fuel pump. On most days it’s a relatively low-cost area as well as with minimal repair fees. Instead, I was told that our transmission is slipping as well as only had a few hundred miles left on it before total failure. Needless to say, I was devastated with the news. To make matters even more disastrous, right after our car was fixed, our central air conditioner was acting up as well as cycling with more noise than usual. Fearing the worst, I started pricing brand new air handlers. To my shock and dismay, things would only get worse from there, then my worker explained that whenever an air handler is swapped out, the condenser unit outside has to be replaced as well… The coolant from the seasoned air conditioner is still in the lines that leads directly outside, so hooking up a new component without at least flushing these lines can result in major disaster. Therefore, the condenser unit along with the refrigerant lines need to be swapped out whenever your air handler is replaced. This was absolutely an extra $4000 in my unique situation because our plan is sizable to begin with. Sometimes I just wish the metaphorical rain would let up already.
