Rotten Morning -$tupid tax

March 2nd, 2016 at 11:46 pm

Ugh. This morning on the way to work I got pulled over and got a speeding ticket. 10 over in a school zone. Ugh, ugh, ugh, I'm usually SO careful in school zones, but I was just kind of zoned out. Too tired I guess.

So now I get to choose between paying $100 for court costs/ ticket or $100 and 4 hours to take a safe driving class.

The first option would be simplest. However, it may raise my insurance rates. The second option would be a pain, but would keep the points off my license and keep my insurance rates the same. However, it can only be done once every 3 years.

It's been at least six years since I was last pulled over for anything, so option two seems pretty safe.

I'm just SO annoyed with myself.

Househunting isn't going that great. Neither of the places we looked at on Sunday are viable options. There's little other options. We've even looked into what it would cost to build our own house (beyond our budget even for a simple house.)

I guess it just means that we have to be patient til the right place comes along. No matter how long that takes.

    Definitely wait for the right house. Don't settle, you will regret it from then on.

    Sorry about the ticket. It's hard to remember to reduce speed in school zones.

    Aw I'm sorry about the ticket, if you're innflorids you can rent the DVD at your local library watch at you convince and then submit your proof. You're given a code.

    Sorry to hear about the ticket! As for the house, just keep your eyes peeled - something suitable has to come up eventually - my fingers are crossed for you!

    Bummer about the ticket. I agree with Petunia; the right house is worth the wait. Plus, you have enough on your plate now anyway!

    In California you can do an online drivers class/course. VERY easy and not more than an hour or two depending on how fast a "test taker" you are. You might want to check it out.

    Not sure what happened while typing but I meant to say if you are in Florida.

    Sorry about the speeding ticket. I hate that.

    It's still maybe a few weeks early before the spring housing season really gets underway, isn't it? There should be a whole lot more inventory on the market later this month or into April I would think.

    Thanks everyone.

    I think I have decided to do the online driving course for $100. It takes 4 hours (required time.)

    PS - Maybe. There was an article in the paper this past week talking about how few houses are on the market right now compared to other years. We are in kind of a housing crunch here really - lots of new businesses opening up or expanding bringing in new people. That's why we even looked at the option of building ...
