Wow, it really is a lot when you break it down like that... My AH totalled a car in Sept (driving drunk) that we had just thrown $800 into for repairs that same week...I had to pay $200 for tow bill and didn't even get money from scrapping it because I had to sign it over to the garage to avoid another $350 in storage fees. He also went to the hospital for that accident and had $18K in bills from catscans on his head that was gashed open...plus 4 staples put in. He had a DUI with major fines and court costs as well as raised insurance costs...which also resulted in a suspended license when I had to waste gas driving him back and forth to work all the time (rather than him driving one round trip). I can't even begin to imagine how much was actually spent on alcohol...There was also a huge job promotion coming up for him at one job (into a management position) that he missed out on because he got fired for drinking and being a no-show. I can definitely sympathize!
