I really feel bad for one of my friends that I know. He isn’t exactly having the best of luck with everything. He’s been saving up for a television at a slow and steady rate. This was a time-sensitive endeavor because his kids were about to start school meaning his savings rate would drastically decline. He was really excited and did his research, oh he did his research and had a few picked out. By the time he was about halfway through to his dream television, he got slammed by a red light camera. I know, I know, it may have been his fault but his timing was horrible as much of his funds were sucked up by traffic school.
But that’s not all, he just found out that he may have to drop a few hundred more for hygiene sake. He just went to visit his Scottsdale dentist and they told him he had to have two root canals done, and those aren’t cheap. He has insurance from his work but he’s still out a few hundred if he decides to move forward with it. Sure he’s in good shape still, but I feel bad for anyone who has their eyes on the prize (with the prize being a nice, new, gigantic LCD hdtv) and it crumbles slowly. I know he’ll get it eventually though, it’ll just take a little bit longer than planned.
