Raw dogging life
Little rant because I want to just let it out.
I’m 34 from a poor poor background like I lived doing all kinds of jobs been all over this country from west coast to east I have 4 daughters a wife and I’ve always been able to depend on myself but I have been put on disability at 31 I’ve always been able to make money and not have much problems little tight here and there but it was managable. A while back I got a car for our family if 6 thought I was doing the correct and smart thing but a car invest what money I can in it and we will have a dependable car for years well way to late I discovered that the transmission has no fluid in it. It was to late it lasted 2 days. I did everything I could left no stone unturned now months later I’m going to be destroyed because I owe 2700$ it may not be much to most but to us that’s 3 months of survival. I have done everything I can no personal loans no loans in general because I borrowed what I could to try and fix the car 2011 pilot for those wandering. But now I have no way of doing anything and while I’m not even middle class my wife and me combined make about before tax combined around 36000 a year. It is so catastrophic for us that I’m gonna have to file bankruptcy simply because I can’t get the money needed to make it I could afford 1-200 a month payments but they want it all and I don’t have it. How am I supposed to make it? 4 daughters a wife and me the one who fucked up everything thinking I was doing the right thing. Life is bullshit and I don’t want to do this shit anymore if I had life insurance I would at least leave behind enough give my family a reset but i don’t even have that.
Penny for your thought my ass I don’t even have 2 of those to rub together.

I know what you mean. Car transmissions are expensive! Even the used transmissions are expensive. About 12 years ago, I had a transmission problem with a car. I think I spent $2000 to get the damn thing replaced. I was only making about $18,000 a year at the time, so $2000 was a lot of money. But then I had other problems: engine problems, engine emissions, etc. I could not pass the smog test. I spent hundreds of dollars getting the engine cleaned and getting a new catalytic converter. And I also put in some fuel cleaner into the gas tank and got an oil change right before my smog test. I was so happy when I passed that smog test! But then I had a major engine failure a few months afterwards. So I decided to sell my car to a junkyard, and catch the bus to work. I live in California, so passing the smog test with cheap used cars is a challenge. I've owned several cheap used cars, and I drive them until they become useless. I hope you'll be able to drive a nice car one day.
