Driving home from work on Wednesday, my car started randomly downshifting while on the highway. I tried to make it to a service center, but I lost instrumentation and was stuck in 3rd gear. I called a tow truck and had it towed to the shop. The news wasn't good: the transmission control module was broken, the front-right strut was leaking, and my tie rods needed replacing. All told, the bill came to $2,205.
The good news? I can afford it. I don't buy a lot, so I just sock my money away for times like these. Money doesn't just buy goods; it buys peace of mind.
TL;DR: Got stuck with a random $2,200 bill. Can pay it off and move on with my life. Emergency funds are important!
