I'm really bad a making decisions. Always want to make the right choice. I have two options.
1) Don't get another car. Take the 2400 put it towards my 9000 student loan and also put my income tax return towards it. I will be saving 250.00 without paying car insurance, gas, etc. Suck it up, bundle up, wake up in crazy early hours to get to work. Once the 9000 is paid off, I will just have another loan that will need to paid. And finance a car with room to breathe each month.
OR
2) Get a car. Either pay monthly for something newish, or get an old car with the $ that I have and risk frequent repairs.
I hate making choices. I don't know what the responsible thing to do is. I feel that paying it off first would be, but my parents won't be happy. They'll think that it need to be put towards a new car.
