That is the typical 'special repayment.' Either you repay unscheduled, then there is no money for such repairs, purchases, and you take out an expensive installment loan. Or you hold off on special repayments because an expensive TV has to be bought after all.I once knew someone for whom the special repayment was the highest priority; every free euro flowed into it... when a new car was needed, then all bets were off. He absolutely did not want to take out another loan. There was never any money for anything else either; the partner had to pay for those (meaning the "smaller" purchases, e.g. a new washing machine, which are always occasionally necessary, not the general living expenses). One has to have a reserve of available money. I know the benchmark of three months' salary. And I think many also have to dip into this reserve when building. (Me too). And then it has to be replenished accordingly afterward. But maybe you are in the lucky position of not having had to use this reserve.
