No Car No money No life.

I can’t tell you how difficult it has been navigating my life ever since my cars water pump started leaking (this was after I had blown over $800, my entire tax return, on new breaks, exhaust and power steering—just a month prior).

I walk and ride my bike to work every day. I have to ask friends for help every time it storms out, or if I need to utilize the laundry mat or get groceries. Lyfts and Uber’s are SO expensive. My younger sister is getting married next week and my dad has to drive 3 hours each way just to ensure I’m there. It’s embarrassing. Everything used to be so simple when I had a car and now every angle of my life is complicated by not having one. (This includes emergency dental and doctor visits this week which have been so difficult to navigate). And while I do recognize the help my friends and family have extended these past few months...I feel like such a burden. I was so independent before but now I’m dependent. It’s stressful, I’m depressed as all ever. Sometimes I just want to give up. Because it’s too hard to deal with this every single day. How pathetic would that be to even consider such a thing due to not having viable transport.

I’m hoping to buy a used car once I sell my old one, hopefully someone will want to buy it in the condition it’s in. But until then I’m stuck in this position until I can make the changes needed. Save and work and save and work. I need a miracle.
