[Still Thinking]

I think I made a big mistake when I bought my car. I’m having a hard time affording the $500 a month payments, because I only make minimum wage at my job and work 35 hours a week.

[eyeroll] BTW, what do her cow-orkers think about her showing up for her minimum wage job in a $500/mo car?

I was just talking about this with a buddy who, for a while, was the manager of a Planet Fitness gym. Nearly all his employees made near minimum wage and nearly all of them drove a much nicer car than he. I think it is common for the 18-25 crowd to live at home, buy an expensive car, and have just enough left over for gas, insurance, and drinking money.
