I would start by finding a remote job that doesn’t need a car, save up and take it from there. As things get better look into better things such as a better car, better town (not sure where you ended up at with your situation), and eventually a better girl once the dust settles. Ur money is limited and this is a high income state, they will try to take everything u got at most places. Be mindful but set a plan, u don’t only need a car, u need a plan to get back in your feet.
