I know that you are here to vent @wizman631 and you aren’t really asking a question. First of all, congratulations on your graduation and acceptance into your master’s program. Sorry to hear that you are having car trouble and that to fix it (possibly buying a newer car) will be dipping into your money resources. There are a lot of us who post here (I think) who weren’t wealthy when we were your age and went through tough financial times to get through our educations and start our lives. It’s not easy for sure. But, stay the course of moving forward. I remember when you were so worried about getting through a given course or semester, and here you are, a college graduate.
