So I finally just admitted that I need to give up my car. The poor thing is on it's last legs. I could probably nurse it along a little longer but I just don't have the money or patience to do so. So, I'm going to get a bus pass on September 1 and just do it that way for awhile. Not having to put gas in my car all the time will help a little and I'm planning on opening a savings account with my first september paycheck. Then I'll set it up so that $50 a paycheck gets automatically deposited into it. That way when my bankruptcy drops off next August I'll have money for a down payment and hopefully between that and a better credit score I'll be able to swing a car loan. And if not, oh well. At least the automatically saving money part will catch me up with all the stuff I have let slide for awhile. It will be slow going but I know I can fix this. I just have to work really hard at it.
