Yeah. Adulting.

I used that word with a couple of friends and they hadn’t heard of it. They have two young kids and do a lot of adulting.

2017 started with the water heater ($1,200) going south, my wife's car ended up needing $2k worth of work over a 3 month period in two separate visits to the mechanic. My truck needed $1,400 worth of work. HOA made us paint our house, $4,800. I got sick (flu and pneumonia at the same time) and had to be off over 3 weeks from work without pay. My wife lost her job in May and can no longer work so we have a permanent loss of income. Over $9k worth of medical bills between my wife and I in 2017.

My savings took a huge hit in 2017. I even sold a few guns in 2017 to help with the bills.

2018 is looking up.

Yeah, you’ve been having a tough go of it lately. I’ve put a bunch of time and some of my $$$ into helping with my dad’s health issues. He’s got excellent insurance, so mostly time and some loss sleep. But otherwise can’t complain. Being able to spend more time with him is good.

$350 on a broken windshield, looking about $1k to replace a computer. Not terrible all in all.

The owners of the house we are renting want their house back. Go figure...

Hmmm, pretty bad year for you.

While I am not as unfortunate as you, I took some hits in 2017.
Kidney stone, >2k
Tax liability >3k
Crack windshield 300
Wheel bearings 300
I'm considering selling my old SUV.

2018 not looking too good for taxes either.
But hey!
I can still walk to the toilet by myself ....life is good.

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope your Dad's health issues get better. An offshoot of poor health with my wife is that I spend a lot more time with her. It has truly been a pleasure. I suspect your Dad's health issues has caused you to spend more time with him?

Sorry to hear about last year. I hope this year gets better.

Yeah, been spending a lot more time with him due to his health issues. Some were due to planned procedures and also others that came up. Overall, good to spend more time with him in any case.

     I'm hesitant to specifically call them "gun funds"

     Cracked windshield ($300), replace my truck ($21K) and totally replace Rockette's brakes and bearings front and rear ($300+) but I did not have a "vehicle fund".
I had to replace my on demand gas water heater ($700) that died after 10 yrs . and rebuild  gas stove ($150) but had no  "appliance funds".
Emergency trip to the Mainland ($3K)but had no "hospice fund".
Bad work year due to injuries also ate into savings
   
.    Our firearms and training are just as necessary as transportation, hot water, cooking and taking care of our loved ones
We do what we gotta do with what we have.
Now if you'd say what takes away from my "Gun Fun's" 

p.s.
OF,  that's not the toilet, that's the round white garbage can. 

what's up with all these cracked windshields?

Just lost my number one gig. Gotta move cause landlord is selling the house.

And a cracked windshield. I kid you not.

New vehicle loan.

what's up with all these cracked windshields?

City & County of Honolulu keeps all the roads in perfect condition

This one has taken all my gun funds.  NICU ain't cheap unless you're Micronesian.

Oh yeah, babies cost money. Congrats again brother....happy for you.

At the end of 2017 and early 2018, I had the following luck:

1) Car window bashed (UEMV)-$500
2) Loss in Vegas-$2,000 (first time in 3 years not breaking even)
3) New tires-$400
4) New breaks-$800
5) Eye exam/contact lens-$500
6) New TV-$500

Overall $4,700.  This is why I was so pake at the gun show and didn't buy a case of 223 ammo.  Instead bought the 250 Armscor box for $75.

I was going to buy a SIG 1911 and a 22 rifle, but had to wait.

***Added info: Just read the rest of the thread and I guess I can't complain.  It could be worst.  Everything cost me only property.  My health is ok for now compared to others.  Wish all you guys the best of health/luck.
