I still have a job, and a car. Paying $329 a month for the car, plus $135 insurance. My inconsistent hours at Walmart allow me an income of approximately $1250 a month. The cheapest apartment I could find in Dallas was for $529, not including all the usual fees. If I get approved at all for such an apartment, I would be left with about $200 a month to survive on for an indefinite amount of time, which I guess is not impossible.
I was living with my brother, and my plan was to keep on going til I finish off my car payments before he unexpectedly bailed out on me, just when I started to search for better jobs. I guess that’s going to have to go on hold til I figure out how to survive homelessness.
I haven’t had much time to adapt to this sudden change, and my survival skills are quite terrible. Mentally damaged, yadda yadda... I probably need to find a roommate or something, but honestly I’m terrified. Dallas isn’t exactly friendly, and I’m a defenseless nerd. People tend to take advantage of me (like the salesman that sold me a fucking Corolla on a Walmart salary), and I generally have difficulty getting along.
I was told to see if I can refinance my car for lower payments. I’m waiting to see if they’ll approve me for that.
Was also told by someone else to just ditch the car and stop making payments, but that sounds like terrible advice.
Laaaaa
