They want $105 down and I'll have to pay $9 a month on the back bill. I will also have to go on budget billing.
So I asked her if was okay if I took it back. It's unopened and she threw a big hissy fit. She's disabled so she qualifies for all sorts of programs so she never actually pays her bills. She doesn't understand the concept of hard earned money.
My husband is dumbfounded that she rather us have a vacuum than electric.
Last night big family drama happened this morning I'm trying to just figure it all out. Hubby is out putting in some applications. He says screw his degrees, his experience he's tired of looking. He's hitting the fast food and retail stores now hoping for a minimum wage job to just bring income in.

Well now part of me wonders why you needed to ask mom, but it is family so I do kind of understand.
Well now if I remember correctly a vacuum cleaner makes a nice dust collector if one doesn't have electricity.
Sorry you are going through so much.
If you are going to return the vacuum, you might want to do it soon. You can always buy a cheaper one later.
