So I've been diggin this hole for about 11 months now. Previously I made a blog about other problems : Rough Waters

I've always been the type of guy to never borrow or loan money unless I can pay/get it back asap. Especailly since I don't like to rely on people for things and seem needy, I guess you could say i'm 'too proud' or whatever but I just like to be independant so that I control my fate, and not answer to other people for shit I owe. So In other words I've always been pretty good about saving money and controlling my budget. Over the course of the last several months I have been getting quartered and fifty-cent pieced (not just nickels and dimes) just about everywhere.



      I'll start back in like Dec.08'

I got a couple parking tickets in this month as well, 1 for 35$ for 1 hour parking near my job and I didn't see the sign obstructed by trees (sometimes there is no where to park at all too, this is a racket). And the other was for a Street Sweeping ticket 40$ at my house which comes twice a week, every week. So 8 times a month, it's pretty easy to make a mistake and it's all a numbers game, because my street is not that fucking dirty. this too is a racket.
Tickets must be payed within 21 days or they double or whatever.

Car
+ Show Spoiler +

And I didn't even mention the ridiculous gas prices that have been going on. I only get 17mpg, drive about 10 miles a day but it still rapes like 40-50$ out of my wallet every month. And I really wished I could have done the 'cash for clunkers' thing (not eligible due to ownership less than a year, plus no extra cash to make monthly payments right now anyways). Totally bad timing on that.

      Sept.09'
Fender Bender
+ Show Spoiler +




Looking at all my problems throughout the last 9 months it has been 100% car related. In order to remove this problem I am selling this fucker.
Is it cursed? Do I have the worst luck ever? Am I just not financially responsible? I don't know, but what I do know is that this PoS is only going to end up costing me more money. I'll have to pay a bunch of shit to get my license reinstated, sign up for some more insurance, pay that monthly, pay for rising prices in gas, oil changes, unforseen repairs, renew the registration in a few months AGAIN, blah blah.
My mom/gma doesn't want me to get rid of the van though because she needs to use it often. And it still is in pretty good condition (other than the external look) considering its like 15 years old and only has 81,000 miles on it.
I already signed the pink slip over to my mom, she said she is going to take a loan out based on the car and pay me with that money (the 2000$ i payed for it), I hope this works out.

I didn't write all of this just to vent, I actually need help with the fender bender situation. So if you only read one thing out of this whole long post, please read that and give some advice.
Btw I live in California.

I should probably take a picture with the beast since it was my first vehicle and since it's brought me such lovely memories.

I haven't read anything because this blog is way too long.
Still, I have rated it 5/5 because it was so fucking long, effort needs to be rewarded.
I should go to the drunk thread now. Merry Christmas and Habs for the cup, gg no re

^^ I regret reading your post because it is way too crappy.
Still, I think you should be banned because lack of effort should be punished.
You should go to GG.net now. Happy Kwanza and Pancakes for the turtle, gg no re

So, it seems like you're going through real tough times (I respect you for not having a "FUCK EVERYTHING" demeanor after the amount of shit you go through).

Is the issue in itself the fact that, even if all things go right from now on, I.E. no more parking tickets, etc., that you STILL will not be able to really live based on the debts you've already accumulated? It seems like if you were extremely strict about your budget, that you would be able to formulate a plan to slowly pay off these issues.

Are you looking for a better paying job now that your paycheck has been depreciated by taxes? I feel for you in the sense that I can't imagine living off of $800 a month with debt.. it would already be almost impossible with a completely clean slate.

Impossible is everything until you overcome it!

it's great, but just make sure you can save up enough money before you do. Because shit WILL happen imo. I was rather unlucky in that I had no chance to really save that much money and my buffer went fast.
