Doesn't it figure?

My husband took the buyout from ford. Meaning he quit, but got a severance package. So we've gone for a month without any incoming cash while we're waiting for the big check to come in. Doesn't it figure that when we're low on money, our one and only working vehicle decides to break! The battery won't hold a charge, so he was hoping that it was just a battery problem and NOT an alternator problem. He ran it up to get tested and guess what? It's BOTH! so a $60 fix, is now a $300 fix!
Where in the world are we going to get an extra 300 flippin dollars to fix it?
Go figure...
