Wow I really needed this today. I'm sweating an expensive dental bill and wondering how I'm going to come up with the extra cash for the payments. You have reminded me of how I grew up. I do have valuable skills that I picked up along the way and I also have resources my parents never dreamed of. Thank you.
My BF needed his oil changed today and they charged us almost 100$! We don't currently have a place to do that ourselves/my BF hasn't learned that skill yet, but he was definitely thinking about finding some place that'd let him change the oil in the parking lot and learn how to do it properly so we don't have to spend money we really can't afford to spend on things like that. Yes, the mechanics need to get paid, too, but goodness me, 100$ to change the oil? What happened to 15$ oil changes???? Edit: *Meme Russian Accent* In Soviet Ohio, Turkey eat you!
@DoodleBug84 yikes! That's insane! All you need in terms of space, is just any place you can park your vehicle for about 15-20 mins. It might look strange to do it in a parking garage, but in this day and age, who cares if you look strange? Haters aren't paying your bills lol
@@storybrookefamilyfarm Yeah, it was absolutely nutty. And a lot of places (Our apartment complex included) have stupid rules about what car work can be done on the grounds. We'll definitely be looking into finding somewhere we CAN though, because ouchie!
@DoodleBug84 I've never been a big follower of silly rules. I hope you both can find an easy work around, even if it is just claiming you were looking underneath and not doing work lol
@@storybrookefamilyfarm Haha! Thank you! I'm not much one for silly rules, myself, but my BF is nervous about anything happening. We'll get it sorted, thank you for your encouragement!!
@DoodleBug84 I'm sure you'll find a gas station, rest stop, or store that won't bat an eye at you guys saving yourselves some money, especially if you buy a beverage or something little while there. Maybe next time we change our oil I'll post a how to video to help you guys learn how to do it quickly and easily
I love this take on low income families yes

@@MsMaggieNolia you're welcome! I hope you unexpectedly come into more than enough money to cover your bill
Only two generations ago valve jobs were an operator level task
