How to cope with this situation?
19… Got an average job no less than 2 months ago. Living with mom and brother still however she is on the verge of bankruptcy or she is already bankrupt not sure, all I know is that she can't afford the 3 cars that's she's paying for ( 2 Honda accords and a civic, late models 2013-14) and she's gonna lose two of them in two weeks. She might get to keep one I'm not sure don't have much info but does being bankrupt mean she's going to lose everything? I mean we live in a low incoming housing authority… Lived off food stamps which will be cut off soon maybe i don't know how it works
But I've lived in a way where I see money is everything, happiness or worthless at the same time but I try to be humble sometimes but I hate the fact that we're not "average" like we use to be. Personal problems I know that have been conflicts so far are my mothers previous gambling pit blend which she claims to have stopped going to the casino with her out of state boyfriend, And my youngest brother whom use to take up after me but became worse And had to be put in foster care now he's doing better but his life seems more content even though it's not the life that I would prefer to live because of social matters and whatnot but I have changed myself in ways I thought I couldn't have done so. As in quitting smoking and partyin and have been 3 months clean so far I've been working out for the past 3 years and have gains that can boost my confidence through a skyscraper, I'm in Tech college now
Who knows what will happen? Yet it sure is 'interesting' how a low-income person has 3 late-model cars! If bankruptcy happens (which it seems like it will), they will probably allow her to keep ONE car, plus she will likely be assigned to pay off at least some of her debt.
Perhaps the way to cope with the situation is to get a job and get your own place. I wonder if your gambling mom has been paying rent or the mortgage on time. I suppose it is a house if she has 3 cars. If she didn't pay the mortgage, the bank will foreclose on the house and you all become homeless.
- I need some advice on a horse trailer situation? My dad has just bought a Honda CR-V. It can tow up to 2 tonnes. We're looking to buy a horse trailer but we're not sure about whether to get a single or double trailer. Could our car tow a double trailer with 2 15hh horses in it? Or if needs be, we would get a single one as we only have 1 horse anyway, but a double one would be more suitable but we don't mind.
- What would be the cost of car insurance in my situation? I'm 18 turning 19 in a few months, I recently got my G2 and I'm considering on buying a 05 honda civic.
- Should I keep or sell my car in this situation? So I bought a used car about six months ago for $2500 and have been using it. However I just found out that I got a job and will be living in Japan for year. I live in Wisconsin now, but I will come back to Wisconsin in a year. I'm wondering if I should sell my car or store it somewhere. However I don't know anyone to store it for me and would have to pay someplace to store it if I wanted. It is a 2002 Honda Civic.
- Should I fix up this car or re-sell it in this situation? So I bought a used 15 year old Honda Civic with 130,000 miles on it. I paid $1700 for it. However I found out from the mechanic it will cost another 2500 to fix up all the brakes and lights to make it drivable and good. However the ac and radio still won't work. Or should I sell it for 600 dollars to the mechanic and lose $1100 dollars. I know I made an error. But what should I do?
