      True. Kind of like how I had this roommate named Joseph and while I was dating my ex he managed to trip and land on our glass coffee table and get shards of Glas in his eye. We took him to the hospital and they asked me some questions. It was then that I realized that I didn't know where he moved from prior to living with ne or anything else about him for that matter. I had to go out of town for a week and my ex would check in on him. He got a gotton eyepatch while he made his recovery but he and my ex fell for each other when I was gone. They ended up getting married and I never saw them again. What I'm trying to say is that if it hadn't been for cotton eyed Joe, I'd been married a long time ago. Where did come from? Where did you go? Where did you come from cotton-eyed Joe?

    I’m thinking of voluntary repo for my car situation. I went from making 30k to 60k. Decided to get a new car since I could now “afford it”. Car came out to be 26k. 2 months later I lost my job and haven’t been able to find anything that pays similarly. I’ve been using savings to pay my bills, but I’m completely out now. Got a job making $15 an hour rn. However, it isn’t enough for the car. I’d rather pay my rent and other utilities first.

    I’m in a similar situation right now. I was biking everywhere and had a paid off motorcycle as well. Finances were going well and I decided to finance a car with $0 down. Having an issue with the axle now on a fancy car and I’m thinking about getting out of the loan and going back to cycling again. I’m blessed (and cursed) with a situation where I have housing for free and live across the street from work. Trying to figure out how to get back to winning financially.

      ​@diegohenaohenao3569 warranty is a rip off, just take care of your car. The mistake people make is they never pay attention to services and maintenance and make things worse for themselves. Now they gonna sell that car to somebody else who would have to deal with those issues cause the previous owner was negligent. That's why these cars get bad reputation.

Personally, I'd advise against going to a dealer or a car lot as the sheep are being fleeced and taken for a ride without a car or a seat to sit in. Buy a good used car, have a mechanic check it over, compression test, kick the tires and give it his All State bill of approval.
