Just me whining

Mine is the only income as well, but we have no kids, only 3 dogs, still have a mortgage and all the other bills. I've been trying to keep my budget for the Dart as low as possible but there are some things that can be expensive. I have learned to do much more myself than I did on the last one, which helps me keep the costs down. I have less patience sometimes but I can't get ahead of myself or give it up. So I do what I can and I wait until I can afford the things that I can't get right now.
