About 3 years ago my parents kicked me out of the house because I had an alcohol dependency. Luckily, I had 2 friends, coworkers at the time, who let me move into their apartment where I slept on the couch. After a few months lease ended, and we decided to rent a 3-bedroom apartment. we have been at this apartment for a little over 2 years. Within that time, I’ve slowed down on drinking and have been trying to put things together, but it feels like every step forward I take I get knocked back immediately.
My car was stolen early this year, I used my little savings and the insurance money to finance a car, with my payments being 350 a month, total price of the car being 6,577. I was thinking if I financed a car, I’d at least have a dependable vehicle to get to and from work, but not even a week into having the car the alternator died. I’d like to get it fixed but I’ve been behind on rent, I just don’t have the money to save. My job pays enough for me to catch up, but there are no bus routes that can get me there. I’ve been taking Ubers there and back, around $40-$50 a ride and that’s been taking a majority of my paycheck. I’m currently 3 months behind on rent, I’m just lucky my roommate hasn’t kicked me out yet.
I didn’t have enough money in my bank account to take an uber to work today, so I tried to call a taxi, which the driver went to a different part of the complex, couldn’t find me and hung up on me. It just felt like the last straw. I spent the rest of the day stressing about rent and how I’m going to get to work tomorrow. If I could just get a little financial help, I can pick the rest up myself.
Thank you for your time.
