What a time for everything to hit at once

[Trash man]

so today im on the way to skool and i hear what sounds like an air-plane. sound turns out to be the Right front wheel bearing on my 02 alero . i wouldnt complain cept for the fact that my t/a came off the road today(insurance) for the winter and partly because the alternator is shot beyond belief. the wheel bearing is 150$ . im already week to week on paychecks because my brother forgot to give me my cell bill so at one point i owe them 300$!!!!! so im working towards paying him off, then i couldnt make a car payment because of that, so my dad had to do that for me(paying him back for it) so thats 500$ then im driving my buddies truck and i hit the brakes in the rain and the ass end locked up and i slammed into a poll, so i had to buy him a bumper, grill, and fog light deal. mean while still paying off my credit card tab(tranny and gas), car payment, and insurance. and i finally check my cell statement tonight, i owe them 130$ cuz my bro hasnt given my bill to me in 2 months(its under his name) basically i have no money and i havent even bought my family/gf any gifts. plus last week i got sick, so my paycheck is gonna be short bout 8 hrs . these are the times i wish i bought another junker so id have that extra 200$ every month not to mention im selling the motor, rear i had for my car, plus my t/a. meanwhile im lookin at all my friends(electrician, comptuer tech, dair guy at s&s, landscaper) and they all have new fancy cars/trucks or the new f-body/mustang. and they are making more then me(my buddy brian is making 60 grand this year!!! and his 19) im sorry guys i just had to vent, my gf aint here to make me feel better

Sorry to hear about everything happening at once! I hate when that happens to me. You really need a sugar-mama - find an old lady with a lot of money and a terminal illness and you're in!

Seriously . . .get a part-time job until you get everything caught up . . . It won't take long.

My ex gf had the same problem. her car sounded like a plane. It was her wheel bearings. must be a common problem. hers was a 4 dr as well.

i work part time right now, i work bout 28hrs a week, inbetween when im at skool, and get paid 12$ an hour. looks like saturday is alero day, instead of cleaning the cars like i planned

Sorry to hear about that man, I too am in college so i know exactly where youre coming from. If it helps I pay all the same bills myself, it seems like we have no rich daddy to pay for anything like a lot of college students do so we have a lot more self respect so keep your head up, you will get through it. If I was rich id send you some money....haha o well

Kyle -

Our '02 Exploder sounded like a B-52. It was also the rear wheel bearing. They replaced it under warranty, and 5,000 miles later, the other side went.

It sucks that all this is happening at once. It usually piles on like that. You have a nice DD in the Alero. Driving a beater around can save a few bucks, but they have a tendancy of costing you money when you least can afford it.

Tough break dude... I'm sorry to hear about the cars/money issues...

Just a little friendly piece of advise though... get rid of that credit card as soon as possible... when you're having money problems, the thought of having more money than you actually do is REALLY tempting!! Be careful... take it slow... everything will get paid off and will be fine before you know it!!! Good luck with it all!!

only reason i have a credit card is cuz i always paid in cash so i had no credit to my name and i only use it when i had to. i was hoping this winter id be able to get my LT1 car but i guess thats gonna have to wait. o well. skool ends soon and im taking a semster off so i can get ahead for once. then ill start back up in the summer and finish off the two semsters i got left
