With this unplanned surgery, we’re down again by a few more thousands. huhu! It feels like the going just keeps on getting tougher. And I’m almost out of ideas on how to get back on track to saving.

For now, the only option I could think of is selling something - like my laptop, to earn back some of what we’ve lost. The problem is what am I supposed to use in school once I dispose of it? I mean, I can’t sell it for large bucks simply because it’s almost 4-5 years old already. The highest I could go with it is probably 15-18k, which is really not enough to earn back some of the dough and provide me with enough to buy a (this time cheaper) laptop substitute at the same time. I mean, I hate to sell it like a discount furniture but that’s as high as it would sell. Especially with all the newer and cheaper units available now, it would be moronic to compete with them in terms of price.

I just wish I could think of a better solution…
