Reply to comment by Aveah in 2k down on a cheap car or put it towards cc debt? by AreYouEvenWhite
This was beautiful. Thanks for that. Worded to perfection. That is all very true too, however maintenance and repairs can be done by me. I picked up a 1k car and repaired it, but it needed an engine swap at the end. I've only put 1.5k to learn the majority. I know how to full-on rebuild minus engine swap. That was going to be expensive for a rebuilt title, so I didn't do it.
However, this is something very true. Insurance and gas will be eating at me, plus the sneak up registration. With the current debt I'll have. Tackling it all will put a heavy load on me mentally and physically since I'd probably pick up additional work.
I'll focus on the debt, not worrying too much about a car other than putting money away for it. When I can pay it off, my debt is only when I will focus on a car situation.
Thanks for this post. Have a lovely day!

You are most welcome! Your debt isn’t really that bad! It’s totally doable! Focus on the debt, establish a healthy financial relationship with credit, and don’t forget to invest in your future self! Good luck!
