What happened to the cleaning business?

Do you have any sort of post-secondary schooling?

I don't mean to sound like an ass here but what is happening to all of your money? $10 an hour, full-time should be able to make a car + insurance monthly payment.

after taxes and insurance i make about 250 to 260 a week so about a 1000 a month
and then you throw together 470 a month insurance
and about 370 for car payment equaling about $840 a month to drive a car. cell phone 45 a month so im at 885 a month. plus i was layed off for two weeks over x-mas 178 dollars a week for that and then shopping for x-mas presents killed me. there for being forced to spend more then i was making. plus i have gas.

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME SOMEONE QUIT SMOKING BECAUSE THEY ARE POOR??? well i might be the first documented case of temporarily having to quit smoking because of money

Holy shit, $470 a month for insurance? I'd sell that car, get something cheap with liability insurance and maintain a perfect record til your at least 21, then you can buy a sporty car again. Even buying a house they generally only loan you enough for a payment of 45% of your income , you're spending over 80% just for a frickin' car. Ouch.

Or store the car (put only comp insurance on it) and buy a beater that will last and not cost you an arm and a leg in gas. Then your insurance will be cheaper. You'd be looking at probably $30 at the most for your car plus liability only on the beater (probably anywhere from $100-200 a month). That would knock a few hundred off of your expenses. And then when the insurance drops down or you get a better job, you bring your car back out.

You're not shittin. Not to mention with new insurance regulations, most companies list the Eclipse/Spyder GTS in the same class as a Viper GTS. Fuck me. :stick:

I think you really need to shop around for better insurance. Even being a teenager, your insurance on a 3G should be cheaper than that. You could buy a car that doesn't run and have your parents put you as the primary insured on that, and have your Dad primary insured on the 3G.

later,
Curt
