[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please cut your expenses to the bone immediately and sell your car, find a job near your parents and live with them while you get a degree in a field that has a good future.  I remember in my 20s everything seemed so huge and the present mattered more than anything.  You will find out that life is LONG.  There IS time to think, plan for the future, set yourself on a path that may be not that pleasant now but rewards you later.[/quote]

OP here: unfortunately, I am in no position to sell my car. I have. 2009 Mazda CX-7 that I got 2 1/2 years ago (when I could easily afford it) and am in a 5 year loan. With everything that has happened, my credit has gone to hell and I don't qualify to get another car because my credit is so bad.

I live 5 minutes from my parents and work 15 minutes away however, I am in a rental agreement with my condo until June. Also, my mom and I do not get along when we live together and it's better to not be living there.[/quote]

Staggered that you would buy a brand new CX7 as a single woman.  We have a CX7 for a family of 4.  It is the only new car we have ever bought and the only car I've ever spent more than 2k on.  It is the only car of that size I have ever owned and the gas mileage is not good.  We only bought it now, in my late 40s because we could pay cash.[/quote]

OP here: I had a 2 door, honda civic before my CX-7. I was nannying for twin infants at the time and half of the week, I would have to use my car with them. It was NOT easy getting infant seats in and out of a 2 door car. I knew that I would be nannying for a while so I decided that I needed a SUV. The CX-7 was one of the safest AND cheapest ones that I looked at.[/quote]
