Sell the expensive car and buy a beater, or a much less expensive car. Pay cash with what you get for the high price rig. Later, when you are doing better you might look back and be glad you did.

You couldn't come up with $8 somehow? They are not going to make a payment arrangement for less than $10.

Expected OP to be commuting over an hour or living out of his car, nope just trying to live beyond his means for friends approval? Bit of an odd set of priorities

Well I am more like in commuting since it is not expensive and yet get easily in my destination.

I'm from Pittsburgh too and those numbers seem out of date.

The issue, which we’re already seeing happen elsewhere is they just start pulling BS like posting a ridiculous salary range like 60k-300k (I just saw as posting like this not long ago lol)

I’d suggest doing some research and getting a feel for what the actual market range is as well and not rely entirely on asking the range.

This is 100% a scam and this dude probably just made a couple hundred dollars from all your free trial sign ups

"Cost per action marketing" isn't as popular as it used to be, and they've had to get more creative, but this is a good way to do it and the credit report people still pay wild money for each sign up. Even for free trials.

I figured this was a scam anyway - I didn't see this one coming. Next time, don't do ANYTHING until you see the place in person.

Roommates. Share the house for rent

Uber and Lyft gets expensive if going to and from work 5 days a week, then running errands. That's hundreds a week.

• How much is this car worth if you sold it today?
• How much is left on your loan?

Seems like this is a ~$30k car… sell it and go buy a beater for a few grand. You’re leaving the country in 6 months… are you planning on shipping the car over (or are you moving to Canada or something and are gonna drive it there?). If you’re leaving North America then you’re going to sell the car anyway… so just do it now. Buy some old ass Honda for a few grand and then sell that for basically what you paid for it before you move. Seems pretty obvious to me the answer is just sell the car and get something more reasonable.

You need to either cut costs, make more money or get rid of your car for a cheaper one. Something's got to give here.

Yup. Set yourself a reasonable Uber/transportation budget for each month. Use it when needed, try transit/walking/etc otherwise and watch the money pile up.

Yup, it really is the best.

And if you owe them money, they will get your SSN anyhow. Even back in 2003 when I was the office manager of a collections agency it was easy to get SSNs when doing skip tracing. Cost a dollar a piece when running 25 at a time. Even cheaper now.

Mint Mobile 12-Month Unlimited Talk + Text 4GB Prepaid. I use wifi at home and download media for offline streaming.

Yeah, we checked recently it's still the same price. Obviously not the best views or anything but parking, facilities, and unit washer/dryer was worth it.

Service only, paid off of course.

1000% this. SSNs are for opening up new lines of credit and banking. Nobody else needs my SSN and just because there is a spot on the form doesn't mean you have to fill it out.

She should roll it into an IRA account with Vanguard (or similar) that she controls

>I fear my social life will tank

It'll tank even worse if you are homeless and broke.

>My partner and I are trying to make a move out of the country by June 2023 so my main directive is to save as much as we can for that hopeful move

Actually it seems like your main directive is to spend cash hanging out with friends. Otherwise this wouldn't even be an issue, you wouldn't even have a car.

That is only a courtesy or if you are a large client. Most banks close accounts around the 2 month mark

Wait, you can get a luxury apt for $1200/mo?

FYI when dentists and doctors ask for my SSN I just tell them no. They don’t insist. It’s really just so they can track you down if you owe them money.

I guarantee uber costs for the odd times you want to see friends will be significantly less than 800 as well

The car isn't your biggest problem
