    and only then did COVID happen and I lost my job twice. So that’s roughly three “holy shit thank god we saved for a rainy day” events in three years.

    You just explained the last three years of my life. I have no savings left. Period. If anything happens to the car, or either one of us loses our jobs, we’re done. That’s it.

      Well, you aren’t “done”. Life continues.
      Even when the state conspires against you having shelter from weather when you’re homeless. Life still goes on.
      Until it doesnt.
