warning: this is a rant about money and cars

So I'm in the hole. About 10g's, I don't mind saying it. I'm fucked. Between school and my car, I'm right fucked. I do nothing but work, this weekend alone I worked 30 hours. My car has cost me 3g's this month alone. I want to sell it, actually I'd be fine if it even just burned to the ground. However, I'm still paying for it, I still owe 2g's on the car. It should be paid off by June, but the car itself won't last that long, I'd be surprised if it made it to next week. I live in the middle of no where, our transit sucks. I also live with my parents, who are insisting that I keep the car, (affectionatly named the gutterslut), this is driving me crazy, because if I sell the car and cancel my insurance then I can use the money I would have paid in insurance to pay off the remainder of the car faster. Here's the next issue, last week, after my car had caught fire, I had to borrow my brother's car once and my sisters car once. My brother this morning woke me up to tell me his transmission is fucked and has decided its my fault and I know owe him $2500 for a new tranny. I borrowed the car on Tuesday, it is now Sunday...how is this my fault? apparently I should have been driving his car in over drive and wasn't. I probably should have just lied and said I was, but when he asked last week I didn't think anything of it. He's known his tranny was going to go for months and now because of timing its my fault and my parents are completely on his side. *sigh* I'm not even sure what to do next. In 2 weeks I'll be done school for the term (while still oweing 2g's) and can probably pick up another job or 2 (yes, blink I'm going to the keg). But this is the other part to that problem, my brother has a good job, it pays $15/hr and is steady work, he just went out and blew $400 on clothes yesterday. I'm a waitress. See the difference?
I don't even know. Anyways, apologies for the rant, I'm just tired and frustrated, thanks if anyone even read this.

a transmission will take a whole lot longer than a few days to develop a problem and the the difference between driving in D and OD would not make the difference. I would tell your brother that he's pretty much being an asshole trying to blame it on you

Holy shit! You're in debt 10 grand? Does that include your student loans?
You should have just inherited money like me. Problem solved.

I don't have any student loans, I've been trying to pay each year off as it comes, thats why I work so much, it does include what I still owe on this years tuition, plus my "Books credit card" I couldn't afford books one year, so I applied for a card, alot of it is credit cards, which I know are the devil, but when you have to buy books and pay bills sometimes a card is necessary, with that tho, I have never bought something for unnecessary with the card, like clothes or stuff, on occasion I have to put gas on it, because I'll have no money and be stranded.
As for inheritance....
I had a trust fund as a kid and put all my money since I was born into it, christening, birthdays, christmas any money I was given. My aunt opened it for me. It was in her name. And then she lost her job and needed money. Needless to say I no longer have a trust fund, and don't expect to ever see that money.
The inheritance is another interesting subject. I was promised an inheritance for like my whole life, my grandfather was loaded, I was the favourite, it was like a sure thing. And then, when the day came, there was no money. He owed money to ppl in Sicily and that was the end of that. No questions asked.

Your aunt took money that was set aside for you? I'd be pretty fucking pissed about that.
Don't worry Gillette. You'll get a good job, be raking in that dough, and you'll get back in the black.

I suppose I should be pissed, but there's a part of me that thinks, well she had a kid to support (that ended up being a total shithead kid) I guess she needed the money. It'd be nice if she'd offer to pay it back now tho :/
Yeah I keep telling myself that, one day I'll have money, 2 more years to go.

If you think you have it bad, just remember the girls who fucked up and got pregnant real young and now struggle every day. Their lives are way worse than yours.

I hate cars and money. My car was junked two weeks ago, so I've had to borrow my sister's car to get to my classes. I'm not in debt but I dont have any money either. Got about 6 dollars in my checking account and 5 in savings.
Why is life so fucking expensive? To be honest I don't see any feasible way of making enough money to ever have my own car and my own place to live.

Gillette is in the mob. You could extort some money from local businesses. I'm sorry to hear about your bad luck.
Having a crappy car is better than not having one at all. Mine was out of service for a year before I could afford to fix it, had to get rides all the time, now that sucked.

Put a brick on your gas pedal and drive your car in to a tree.
That thing is sucking up all your money, and you still OWE on it? Fuck that. Total it, take the insurance money, pay it off, stop paying insurance, and be done with it
