How did at most $300 turn into $567.77?

I just hate it when someone estimates things for you and then all of a sudden this and this and this need to get done. Oh don't worry, it won't cost that much. How is $567.77 not too much? I wish I had that kind of money to throw around. I guess I will be living on $25 dollars the next two weeks. I love bills and expenses. I also love having to pay twice as much as I need to. Sometimes I wish money could grow on trees but then it wouldn't be worth as much and you would still have the same problem. This feels like a never ending problem, never having enough money. I hate feeling insecure about money but having money is not the solver of all problems either. I just signed over my house in Texas to my ex-husband. At this point, there is nothing connecting him to me anymore. Is that good or bad? I think it is good. I would rather have my freedom to think and feel what I want than to have money and not be free. I also have the security that if my husband files for bankrupsy then I am not responsible for a house I can't even make one payment on. Things could be worse even though it may not seem like it now. Just a thought.
