My wallet is crying after this month, anyone else struggling with maintenance costs?
Quote from Guest on February 25, 2026, 1:42 AMI swear, every time I turn around lately, something else needs fixing. This month it was the water heater, and last month my car started making that horrible grinding noise again. It feels like I am just throwing money into a pit. I have been trying to get better at staying on top of things before they break completely. I actually found a decent article the other day about saving money on vehicle repairs that had some good tips on catching issues early, which is my biggest problem. I always ignore the small stuff until it becomes a huge bill. Has anyone here successfully learned how to do their own oil changes or brake pads? I am trying to decide if the upfront cost of tools is worth it compared to the labor rates at the shop.

The Hebrew midwives feared God and told Pharaoh the mothers gave birth before they could arrived. God rewarded them with homes.
“But the midwives feared God, and did not do as the king of Egypt had commanded them, but let the boys live. So king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said to them, ‘Why have you done this thing, and let the boys live?’ And the midwives said to Pharaoh, ‘Because the Hebrew woman are not as the Egyptian women; for they are vigorous, and they give birth before the midwife can get to them.’ So God was good to the midwives, and the people multiplied, and became very mighty. And it came about because the midwives feared God, that He established households for them. Then Pharaoh commanded all his people, saying, ‘Every son who is born you are to cast into the Nile, and every daughter you are to keep alive.’”
17 But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive.
18 And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men children alive?
19 And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwives come in unto them.
20 Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.
21 And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses.
AMAZING
