To be blunt, hell no. $900 a month to drive a leased vehicle, you only make $2400/month, and 9k in debt? You need to reevaluate.

It would not be a smart financial decision.

No way. That’s 37% of your income. What happens if you want to move out in the next few years - you won’t be able to afford it.

Check with your insurance agent about what cars are more reasonable to insure. I think the general recommendation is no more than 1/3 of your income on housing. And the car with insurance is more than that.

I mean regardless of what car I get insurance is bound to be high because of the state I’m in. If I get a used car surprisingly insurance is more higher than if i lease a new vehicle

I’m going to be blatantly honest. This would be the dumbest thing you could possibly do

Never mind the monthly payment. What’s the total cost of the car?

$29.5k also it’ll be a lease

Why would you do that to yourself if you’re already in debt. If you absolutely need a car, buy a beater for 8k and focus on paying down your CC debt before interest kicks in.

What car are you looking at? New or used? If it’s used, how many miles? Maintenance is a bitch. Also, is that 900 including gas?

No. Like, I don't want you to feel bad, but this is an incredibly bad idea and you should feel slightly bad for even having considered it.

At that income, you're in barebones Yaris territory.
