I know you guys are pretty smart and responsible, plus I should take what info I get online with what I paid for it, but I need some advice on what to do.
First off, I am going to get my eyes examined tomorrow and am pretty sure can get a license to drive, just need new glasses. Well, thats a doc appointment, 1 if not 3 pairs of glasses in all. Lets not forget getting a car, driving school insurance, gas, etc.
As is, at my current job I hate more and more every day, I only have 300 bucks after current bills are paid for the month. Rent, power, home phone with no features, no cable tv, no internet (share with parents account) food, 80 bucks for roach coach food, 25 for carton of smokes, 13 for sat radio. I did not factor in 90 for bus fair. 3.50 for a sandwich and fries is rather cheap now a days from the roach coach and I would find it difficult to cut that out. So, if I did cut the roach coach, would need to buy more food and likewise if I quit smoking.
So, 300 bucks right now. Thats not likely enough to make a car payment, insurance, fuel, not to mention a couple hundred for glasses, driving school and money owed to parents and brother.
So, the grand idea is to start running a balance on credit to get one pair of glasses for now for driving, charge driving school and other bills like groceries to free up some cash. Get my license, visit both former colleges for career help/jobs, rent a car for interviews, land second job with more money if not same pay, return rental car, get a used car I maybe border line of affording used. Work both jobs and pay off debt.
I would work my flexible job now part time and second one what ever shift it is, so working 12 hours a day, 11+ bucks an hour. Pay back parents, brother, credit card, get other needed glasses, pay off car.
What do ya think? Worse to worse I return the car, its repoed, right? Its not like i plan on owning a home or reallly loose any sleep at night worrying about my credit.
