Well, I got ready for work, got in the car. I clicked the remote to open the garage door.

The spring broke.
I called a cab but the cab was late.
So I called in sick.
Where I work, if you are late 1 minute you get an occurance, and after 4 in 1 year you get terminated.
Calling in sick, I still get paid.

I googled garage door repair. I got a few big companies.
I have learned 1 thing by being an out of state landlord:
Small biz is the way to deal.
I went on craiglist and searched.
I found a company who quoted me $170.00 plus tax.
So he shows up and spends 2 hours and also does a garage tune up and replaces cables etc.
Final bill is $268.00.
So, our MMA took a hit for that amount.
Interest earnings are at $100.00 so I think we will absorb this repair just fine.

Here are the stats of our savings.
My goal is to save $1000.00 per month for 10 months. 9 months left to go.
