how about if you post again after you've had the car for a few months and gotten several tickets, when your insurance company tells you that you'll be dropped after another ticket?
i hope you're not trying to get any sympathy, because paying $500+/month (what are you, 17? 18?) at your age for a car is stupid, especially when it's by choice. buy a $1000 car and save yourself a lot of grief

try paying 1500 a month for a mortgage, then add on all the bills.
welcome to the real world, you will be here for a while, get used to it.

I work full time, pay rent for my apt. and garage, phone bills, ins. ect. I paid my car off in full right after my test drive. I know my bills arent close to someof my friends that have already started familys but it sucks still.

before i moved to ND i was paying a lil over 800 a month for car and INS. i knew i had to pay it off b4 i came here though. now i only pay 93 a month for the can INS. which is helping out alot. but in a less then 2 months i am hoping to have another car and i will most likely have car payments. which is gonna suck, but i dont like to buy beaters! and i am not gonna have my gf stranded somewhere with the kid but living on my own with all bills is ok, i still have a lil money in my pocket. dunno about 508 a month for another car though. i would have to get a night job to afford that :rolleyes:

I couldn't even think about buying a car where payments were involved. Try Raising two teenage bays whom one of which will be driving this year. Not even going to delve any further.

im at about 450-500 a month for car payment, insurance, cell phone, and gas. yeah it kinda sucks since i dont have the best job in the world.. but i still live at home so that helps.

btw, an 02 jetta would be pimp.

I lived out in an apt. for about 6 months last year...bills ate me up (also didnt have the best job) and I couldnt afford shit for my car...even went as far as doing a pracs study just so I could buy EXHAUST!...but now im living at home for a bit just so I can buy the rather expensive parts I want for my car...then its out again for me

i don't know if you should move out tom, you do own a dsm!

Joel

why not? I hear with the backseats taken out, dsms can double as a queen size.

I know you guys are older and pay more. I'm used to being raped on insurance i guess. Just 500 seems like a lot a month. Ive always paid my own shit, so o well. Its just part of life i guess. Be about 550 a mont for insurance, car payment, and cell bill. I do live at home. This summer wont be so bad and im only gonna go to college part time here i think. So it wont be THAT bad. i dont know . Just thought id rant.

They bought my car (well i did with waht i saved) and all i had to do is go to afganistan for a year and give up my life
good trade i think

i have a couple of friends from omaha that are in the middle east now (last i heard from them anyway), i think one of them was going to get a huge bonis because he was in a high danger zone, or something silly like that

i haven't heard of that but you do get 150 a month for a combat pay then somtimes a 100 a month more for hazardous area for the whole time your there thats what i got and i think they raised it since i was there i was getting close to 2000 a month tax free and i didn't spend more than a couple hundred a month while i was there except the 500 a month on bills back home i save a lot

spending a year and a half in afghanistan wearing a "shoot me" sign on my back for an 02 jetta sounds like a piss poor trade off to me.

Dont get me wrong I have nothing but respect for our soldiers, I even have family in the service, but I would rather cut off my big toe and fake blindness then fight over there.

Maybe the people over there are also there for pride. Ever come to think of that?
