3) At some point, you will need a good car mechanic, locksmith and/or towing company.
I don’t care if you drove a brand new car home the day before your spouse left… something WILL malfunction with your vehicle.
This is where having a little something in a savings account and a membership for roadside assistance eases your mind.
But here’s an important hint: Don’t ever tell a car mechanic your husband is deployed, ladies. Unless, of course, you have knowledge about the workings of an engine.
If you do, you are my hero.
Some days, I barely know which side of the car my gas tank is on. If work needs to be done, I get an estimate and detailed description of the work they want to do, then consult someone with more knowledge of cars (and less potential desire to rob me blind).
