She won’t have it very long. She’ll be car jacked in no time. Long before it gets repo’d.

A few questions.

The MSRP is 22k. Did she set up payments with her welfare money?

If she is as afraid as she claims, why didn’t she use the money to get set up in a better neighborhood?

"why didn't she use the money to get set up in a better neighborhood?"

Amen. I would use the money to pull up stakes and start anew, as far away as possible.

[submarinerswife]

still I dont understand the outrage at her buying a car.

THE MONEY WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FOR THE BOY'S FUNERAL!!!

Do you understand it now?

[drbuzzard]

I know this will come as a shock to you, but $117 is well more than is needed for any funeral.

Then, if we do a little bit of basic math we see that a whole lot of money is left over. She decided to spend some of that one a car.

You can choose to be outraged if you wish, but it is silly.

Now if you want the ridiculous thing, it was people still pumping money into a funeral fund past the 100K mark.

This.

And is she were smart, she'd get the hell outta Dodge. All her neighbors now know she's got a bunch of money.
