There are many things to get upset at in life, but then there are times when it is so ridiculous because you're poor, laughter is the best thing. Now, I have a friend who thought it would be a genius idea to rent a U-Haul and buy a queen size bed for about $350.00 on sale. The problem was he did not ask the right questions. That bed was to be purchased on a credit deal, which would have locked the price into a year contract that is actually sold by Big Lots to Progressive for payments. So what would happen is that bed would actually be close to $650.00 by the time it was paid for. If one wanted to buy out the contract, there would still be a ridiculous amount to pay.
So when things went wrong, since the truck had already been rented, it was time to just make the best of the situation. We went out to eat and he had White Castle for a little over $7.00 and I had Burger King for $4.11.
I couldn't help laughing; however, when that queen size mattress became a blow-up mattress purchased at Wal-Mart along with an electric pump. The mattress came in a box and when blown-up was 8" high. The solution, stick cushions from the couch beneath it along with the twin mattress from the old bed.
So many questions had been asked about the U-Haul and whether because trucks were not available could the U-Haul van accommodate a queen size mattress that it just was hilarious when the van wasn't needed at all since the mattress fit in a box 14"x 3." Since we were at Wal-Mart, I picked up a bike pump.
The good thing, it was actually cheaper since we only drove about six miles to have rented the U-Haul rather than a car.
Have a Happy 4th and tip your hat to a Vet.
