Alright so I'm 18, just got out of High school. I started a job 2 weeks ago for target distribution making 14.45/hr 40 hours a week and a 12 hour overtime shift each weekend. So for being 18 I make really good, unfortunately I find myself driving 40min-hr for work. I have about 160$ in the bank and get paid weekly. My first car (2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee) has a loan under my mom that I have to pay off I owe 3k on it currently 115$ a month for the car and 175$ a month for the insurance, bad news it blew a head gasket this week. I sold my 2500$ computer setup for 900$ went and bought a 1995 Nissan Altima from a mechanic that has 225k miles on it for 1k. Here's where I am struggling in a list formant....
- I owe 3k on a vehicle I cant drive, paying 300$ a month on it, I am trying to dump mass amounts on it to get a quick payoff and sell it
- I have a car with 225k miles that I depend on and will probably end up paying 100-200$ on its insurance
- Gas and food each day of the 5 I work costs about 30$ so 150$ a week or 600$ a month
- I want to build another pc but they aren't cheap to do so I am wanting to buy part by part 400$-200$-150$-700$-100$-250$ would prefer to have in a month and a half at most OBVIOUSLY A WANT so 1800$
- I also have 0 credit currently and I am wanting to go and get a new car when the jeep is paid for and gone roughly 8-12k with payments
so with bills I am looking at bare minimum necessities 1,000$ a month I get paid weekly roughly 650-800$ 2600$ a month at minimum.
any suggestions on how to get out of what seems like a endless pit to me? I am also interested in getting into stocks to try and earn some cash maybe?
