What is normal?

I look at my life and wonder somedays how simple things are and how I like routine. I have very few areas in my life that are unpredictable. Then there are people who have a dark cloud following them around and it rains on just them. Car trouble is something I have very little of but other people have car problems ALL the time. They owe too much on the car to sell or trade but the car is old enough and has enough miles that repairs are in the mix along with car payments. Can't get rid of one without the other. Car did not even qualify for "cash for clunkers" because it was too new. Hum, maybe if the car wasn't so deluxe it would be more cost effective to drive and/ or repair.

I will stay with my new vehicles and hope to buy and then pay off before I do repair bills. I will also look to make sure I don't have a cloud following me.......
