Fair warning this is not a happy post, I had even considered naming it 5 Financial Woes but decided that was a bit dramatic.

1. My snow days last week, which I did enjoy ended up being unpaid.
2. On Saturday of last week, the windshield of my van started to crack for no apparent reason. The crack has now spread to cover 3/4 of the windshield. It is not actually in the line of site but the entire windshield will need to be replaced in the near future.
3. Our water bill increased this month by $18.
4. Our electric bill increased by $160 from last month and $80 from our average bill.
5. Our earning apps, extra money has slowed to a crawl.  This is expected for the first several month of the year but still a cut in pay.
