He bought the car last year. He lost the job this year. Shit happens.

Yes it does. Shit happens. In this case, sell the car.

Or use the car to keep yourself above water financially while you look for another job. Beaters are notoriously unreliable, and cost a ton in maintenance. That’s not a smart option, either. Just because you would do something differently doesn’t make this person financially illiterate. Nobody asked for your judgement.

This isn't AITA. I didn't give judgement.

If it makes financial sense to take a depreciating asset, add unnecessary wear and tear so that it's worth considerably less plus the added costs, if that makes sense to you. I don't know what to say.

Is what it is I guess.

There's other options instead of that. It's holiday season, op can pick up jobs at any retail shop.

They can get with UPS, FED EX, or any of these hundreds of delivery ops with contracts with Amazon.

I find it interesting that your hangup is , "financially illiterate" like I cursed OP lineage or something. Most ppl are not financially literate.

A car is a liability that's generally easy to get rid of. He should sell the car, get what he can and get a older Honda.

You’re definitely being judgmental. You’re so stuck on this one possible thing that OP “should” do that you refuse to entertain that it may not be an option for them. Find another suggestion or butt the fuck out, because you’re not helpful, just a dick.

Wtf? Am I supposed to give multiple suggestions? Did you? Others already gave suggestions.

You're disingenuous. Your only complaint is financially illiterate and all this fucking time you still haven't answered the question.

>butt the fuck out

No.

>because you’re not helpful

That's your opinion.

Sell the fucking car. Or keep it. I don't give a shit. Adding unnecessary miles, wear n tear on a new vehicle so you can pay bills is fiscally irresponsible.

I didn’t give any suggestions, because OP wasn’t asking for them and didn’t want them. I respect people.
