UPDATE: All for nothing

Monday's venting post, re: crazy food chucking lady is now resolved. God saw fit to resolve it by trashing my car. Transmission needs to be rebuilt, front brakes are gone, and it is leaking exhaust...exhaust pipe needs to be cut and welded. So...no more food pantry runs.

I tried to buy a new car today, and my credit isn't quite good enough. They told me to wait 6 months and try again. I still plan to drive my car, holding my breath and praying, to get my own groceries, and go to Dr's appointments. But nothing extra. No weekly food pantry run, and no trips to my friend's house to bring him food.

I feel a bit sick to my stomach...and I hope and pray my credit settles out in the 6 months I have to wait.

UPDATE: My son put down a $3000 payment on a new used car for me, and we will pick it up late this afternoon!

@Musicman The dealer is going to junk it for us.

@4meAndyou Outstanding! So they wouldn't give you anything for a trade in? ☹️

@Musicman It's worth $1000...IF it didn't have so many major repairs needed. The guy is doing me a favor not charging me to take it to the junkyard.

@4meAndyou with this good news, take time in the near future to tend to your credit report, so that it is good if/when you need it later. 😉
