Ugh.
I really don't know which is worse, job hunting, or car shopping.
I'm sitting here in my PJs, drinking coffee, and trying to fix the train wreck that seems to have become my life. I know it's not really that bad, it just seems it. I am job-less, I am car-less, and my boyfriend lives 260 miles away. This wasn't really what I had planned for my post-college life.
The car. My mother owned it, didn't have payments on it, and had planned to sign it over to me when I was able to start paying for the insurance. It was 97 with 146,000 miles on it, so I'm not sure how much more life I would've gotten out of it, but enough so that I could not have any car payments for a while.
My dad's going to help me with a new car, but even if he takes over the payments for a few months, I am eventually going to have to take over car payments. So now the question becomes how should I be spending. I suppose it would make sense to buy a pretty good car that I'm going to be able to use for a while.
The car of my dreams, at the moment, is a Honda Fit (MacKenzie, you own/ed one of those, yes?). Cheaper, of course, would be a Civic, and even cheaper would be a Cobalt. But this is the car I'm going to have for a while. Should I blow the bucks to get something I really love??
