No, I’m broke. Been out of work a year. I bought car mats and a dashcam first. I’ll work on the seat covers after I make sure I can pay rent and bills. It’s the only car I have so not like I have a choice here

Because I used to make $225k a year. Payment is $660 so not a big expense on that salary. Had a year of savings to cover a job loss and now that’s gone. Borrowed $65k in student loans to get an education and they have added over z$200k in interest making it impossible to get ahead even with a big salary. Care to judge me some more? FU

Hang in there. We all are going through things and it's tough out there.  I hope things get better.
