<prompt> Human: Hey! Heres whats up: Im a 25 year old that lives with my parent and has a secure job with a decent wage approx 3000 a month. I have approx 2k in savings just spent 10k on surgery and associated travel which drained my savings. I have 3 school loans totaling 29864 one is for 5,603.62 at 3.610 interest, one is for 5,498.30 at 4.410 interest, and one is for 18,762.49 at 5.590 interest. Ive been paying on the largest one with the highest interest. I had planned to pay 2k a month into student loans because I can very easily survive on 1k a month with about half going into savings had to pause this for surgery expenses.However, recently my car has had a lot of issues and Ive spent over 2.5k on it since January and probably 3.5k the year before. Its a 1994 Oldsmobile NinetyEight with about 130k miles on it and it seems to be slowly wearing down AC compressor has broken twice now, random electrical issues keep cropping up, etc. It looks like there are decent newer used cars for around 10k in my area but that would mean 5 more months of not paying loans to save that up and then maybe putting more money into the new used car if anything needs to be fixed? Id like to be financially stable but not have my car randomly die on me in the next year or two with no money to replace it. What should my plan of attack be?Other pertinent info: The student loans were originally at 38,999 and there were 4 of them. I finished school and got my job in late August so I started paying in September. I dont have anything in IRAs or bonds or 401ks or anything. Im off of my parents insurance on June 30th. I am really fortunate in that I dont pay any bills except for gas and usually my reimbursement checks from work cover that. I spend about 100 on groceries and 50 on fast food a month. I spend roughly 300 a month on clothing, games, movies, gifts, other fun or necessary stuff, etc. Occasionally there are medical, vision or dental bills. My biggest expense is honestly my car. This will likely be my lifestyle for the next 2-2.5 years, at which point my salary will go up and my car probably will no longer be with us and also a soft deadline for paying off my loans as Ill need to be moving out then.TL;DR: 30k in debt, car gonna be dead in 2 years or less, easy living situation for the next 2ish years, 3k income a month, use about 500 a month wo unexpected costs - how do I prioritize my money?  <response>: Second the Dave. Weve paid off 44,000 in 13 months following Dave. Also second ditching the car. You are going to kick yourself when you realize how much car you can buy for a few thousand dollars. I just purchased a car with cash from Craigslist. I looked at dealers but found much better deals on newer vehicles on Craigslist. A fair of postings are BS or scams so caution but postings on the Autotrader App are more reliable. Save up cash for a few months and get a new car then attack the rest of your debt. With 5k you should be able to find a solid sedan or coupe around 100,000 miles with a clean title. Good luck OP you can do this!
