If your car breaks down and you can't immediately afford to repair it, you'll become legitimately homeless with no source of income. You need to focus your efforts on getting a place to rent, because if say, your car breaks down and you're renting somewhere, even if you have no income, you'll have a few month buffer of living there to figure things out before they can evict you.
That’s just not true. I would be homeless, but I wouldn’t lose my source of income. My main source of income is not involving using my car other than commuting. I can do that with mass transit or rideshare. The math just doesn’t math on this. Average rent for a one bedroom apartment in Charlotte is $1412 a month. To move in, I’d have to have that much as a deposit plus another $1412 for first month rent, plus utility deposits and renters insurance. That’s an obscene amount of money to have upfront. If I had that much money saved, it would fix everything on the car, without the burden of adding additional expenses or tying me down to one location. All without having an eviction on my record, which will cause problems for multiple years in the future.
Why does it have to be a 1 bedroom? You can probably rent a room month to month for $5-800. Then you have a bed, kitchen access, a place to store your stuff. Do you really see yourself doing ubereats and task rabbit via public transit if worse comes to worst? Renting something gives you some stability, and having a fixed address may assist finding part/full time work.
@@slothznpelicanz i’m going to reply to this in parts, because I am replying on my phone. A one bedroom is what a normal person would think of as the standard. That’s why I used that as an example. I could rent a room, but you see how that turned out previously. Not only did I almost get killed, but I got used for money, and I was paying more than I would have to have my own apartment.
@@slothznpelicanz there are no rooms to rent for five dollars. I don’t know where you would get that number from. and yes, it is completely practical and possible to do Taskrabbit by mass transit. No one said anything about doing Uber eats. I haven’t done that for almost a year. But I see nothing unreasonable about doing TaskRabbit that way.
Dude study for your CDL in one moth you will have a job making 800 a week to start easy then 1200 after a year or 60k a gear in two years you can get into Rohel making 1559 a week or 72k a year. Then you can buy your own truck and make 120k in less than 3 years.
bud, forget all of the part time work. You should be applying for full time office jobs that pay you salary and benefits as well as offer career trajectory. You have a 4yr degree and could work any number of entry level corporate positions from operations to finance.
That’s just not true. The work I’m doing is not part-time. Why are you assuming it is? I work more than 40 hours/week. The job situation was discussed in the most recent livestream where I talked about why I’m not doing that and why it didn’t work when I tried. It’s simply untrue that my degree could get me entry level jobs. I’m old. I’m too experienced and overqualified. I’ve tried anyway and get no response and a few rejections. You’re trying to make this a simple issue as if I don’t have the first clue about what I should be doing. What you’re saying isn’t true and doesn’t work.
@@ahuruglica Maybe, MAYBE, but no. You’re making up imaginary scenarios in your head and projecting them onto me. Don’t act like you’re wishing me well. You clearly don’t by making this comment.

You could get a good rate on say a week at a low end hotel, near a mechanic. Get the car fixed and back on the road.

It’s not that easy though. I already make more than that anyway.

Get in touch with your fraternity job contact and let them know you’re still interested. Make sure they’ll think of you.
Hope the fraternity housing comes through :)
We’re here with you 🤍
