[quote=Anonymous][b]What the hell, OP!?[/b]

I did not own a new car until I was 28 and married and had a good full-time job. You know what I owned when I was 25? A used Ford Taurus that cost $4000. I'm only 33, so this was like 8 years ago. Oh, and when I bought a new car? It was $14,000 because that's what I could afford (with CASH).

SELL YOUR FREAKING CAR AND GET A CHEAP USED CAR. Seriously.

Move in with your parents. You know where I lived when I was 25 and just starting my first full-time job? WITH MY PARENTS. My dad is difficult to deal with (verbal abuse) but them's the breaks. I saved $11,000 in one year on my crappy first-job salary and was able to move to D.C. on that money.

And you know where I lived for 7 years while I was saving up for a down payment while here in D.C.? A crappy, cheap apartment THAT DIDN'T EVEN COST WHAT YOUR PLACE IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE COSTS. SERIOUSLY. You need to find a CHEAP apartment or live with your parents. For god's sakes, my rent in D.C. was $1050 for my crappy apartment. Oh, and I didn't have cable or a gym membership and I managed to live and have fun all through my twenties.

You have to make sacrifices now, instead of excuses[/b]. You are REALLY spoiled if you think you live how 25-year-olds usually live. You don't even have a full-time job and you think you should keep a $20,000 car?! You think you should have a gym membership? You think you should have cable!? Just...just what are you thinking when you make these choices?

Oh, and if you don't want to change anything, then prepare for bankruptcy.[/quote]
