I am posting for a friend, heres his story from him.
Ok, i am debating something right now, and looking for some advice on what i should do. Heres the story: (Right now i have to only pay for my car insurance and car loan= $320/month plus my credit card bill) I live in michigan and im 19, my dad had lost his job back in december and hes flying to go to an interview in san diego as we speak. Now if he gets the job i am debating whether or not i should move down there with my family, or stay. The thing is, im not sure if i can support myself....i took out a 5,400 dollar loan about 2 months ago to buy my $11,600 srt4 and i pay $215/month for insurance. I work partime @ $9.45/hour and i am going to community college full time (so i dont make that much but i plan on working 2 jobs in the summer). If i do stay i have a good freind that would be able to let me stay at his house (if not then im defenitely moving to cali). I really dont want to start a whole new life over there and i would also have to sell my car if i moved there. Basically if i stay, i would have to finish paying my car off, pay for school, all my necessities, and i dont know about health insurance or what? For car insurance, i am under my families plan so i dont know if i have to be taken out or whatever. Im looking for advice with people that had to do something like this on their own, so looking for some MATURE help/advice. What would you do? and let me know if theres other stuff i need to think about living pretty much on my own. thanks people, its a hard time right now. |

if hes not to concerned about the srt-4...sell it and pick up a swapped celica..theres a guy selling one on here for like 3k....there goes the insurance down a little bit, use the money you get from the srt-4 and pay the loan back...so your not making paymets there....and he'll have a bad ass car that will run right with a srt-4(assuming hes a motor head and knows about them)...the srt-4 may be a "dream car" for him...but when your in a pinch for money you have to do the responsiable thing...pay off what you can with what you have...and while your at it pick up a nice car thats still got balls to it...seems like a win win...then in a few years when you get on your feet, buy another srt-4 if you want..i dunno thats what i would do if i was hurtin for money...paying a loan, plus going to school, plus insurance, builds up mighty quick, not to mention a phone bill and a lot of other crap that has to get factored in...tell him good luck and dont sweat the small stuff...it'll all work out in the end
