Exclamation Major Relapse!

Well well well... it's been nearly a year since an update and I have to say that living without a car for this long really helped me out financially. I saved enough money to buy my first house at age 23 back in March of this year and I'm even getting rental income from roommates!

Things have taken a turn though. My job has switched me to working in the early mornings of weekends where mass transit isn't running in my city . I thought about taking a cab for those days (especially needed for our Canadian winters), but truthfully it would be nice to have something for groceries, emergencies etc. as well.

So I bought myself a $600 SUV!

The truck is very good in every aspect except for the fact that it has 435,000 kms on the odometer! I'm hoping that as long as I drive it gingerly (as any ecomodder should drive I should add) it should last several more months at least . Looks like I'm back to the website! I mean... that's a good thing, right??
