So over the weekend my car completely quit on me. I wasn’t too worried because I had a little bit of money saved so I had it towed to a local shop. After 2 hours of inspecting it, they could find no reason whatsoever that it would start and then immediately die.
For the past few days I’ve been stranded out of state and my dad just picked me up to bring me back home.
I was planning to start school in August and move in with my boyfriend where rent and all utilities would be $400/month.
I have about $1200/month coming in right now so I think I can buy another car by the end of the month. My issue is trying to save an appropriate amount while having to utilize Uber to get back and forth to both of my jobs.
I’m worried I’ll have to push school back another semester (it’s been two years since I’ve been enrolled) and set my progress back even further.
I think that if I’m able to get a car by the end of July I should still be on schedule to at the very least move. I’ll just be behind in my savings. I guess at this point, I’ve been a little blindsided and I don’t really know what exactly my next steps are.
My dad told me I should try to get a car loan and just buy a used car but because my parents forgot to pay a medical bill a year ago and I didn’t know about it, my credit dropped from a 720 to a 590 two months ago.
