In Saturday's mail I got
notification that my apartment insurance was due. Apartment insurance
asserting got suckered into this when I renewed my van insurance
after my van had sat idle for more than a year at my apartment
complex. Longtime readers of the blog will remember that I got the
van insured when we had the family reunion last year. Members the
family thought it be a great idea if I had transportation to and from
events. I was kind of sucker punched when all was said and done my
insurance gone up like 20 bucks or more a month to over 100 bucks!
Now, don't get me wrong I
love having the van in fact at one of my poems I equate having a van
is equal to owning ground in the old days. Having a working vehicle
somehow gives you standing in the community and certainly that you
get the places a lot easier than public transit. But everything comes
at the price and insurance as part of that price. I probably abuse by
Brent twice maybe three times since the family reunion. Mark are one
of my friends has to drive of course since I don't have a license. We
also have to spend time to get the vehicle charged. I do not drive
the vehicle enough to keep the vehicle batteries charged. I would
probably have to go somewhere once a week at least to accomplish this
feat. So, I am throwing away more than $1000 a year for the price of
driving. I am stupid! I know this but I continue to keep the vehicle
which means keeping the insurance. I am however going to cancel my
apartment insurance which I think is a Royal scam. I know that as
soon as I do such a rash act something will happen that would've been
could've been covered by my insurance. And insurance by the apartment
is not that much really just a few dollars a month but it's just the
fact I paying American family insurance for coverage I doubt that I
really need. Like I was saying earlier American family insurance is
who I used to carry as insurance cover and supposedly I still am but
for some reason coming back to my insurance after letting it go for
so long I have to go to a high rate of coverage insurance pool
something like that. So I'm insured with the “General” it's some
sort of high risk pool which is just stupid. Maybe it's just my pride
that forces me to carry the insurance on a dead vehicle. Maybe now
that the weather is warming and once charged the battery should stay
charged much longer and if I work at it I can get someone to drive me
around once a week just to keep the battery charged. Am I not seen
something? Is there a wicked joke being played on me?Aren't I really
smarter than this? I mean actually how many cabs could I engage with
$1000 over a years time? I could be going here and there doing this
and that even if I just used a cab to get to events I couldn't reach
by public transit like in the evenings, holidays and weekends. I'd
probably still do all that and still have money in my pocket. But
like so many other seniors giving up your personal transportation is
just letting go a little bit more of that great American dream…
