<prompt> Human: Im 35 years old and I feel like my life is in shambles. I recently paid 17K in debt off and am now debt free. I drive around an older Audi but feel like its on its way out. Im interested in buying a newer car 26K but having no car payment is awesome. I moved out of my apartment back in January I was paying 1400month in rent and 350 in other bills, I currently live with my buddy and hes only charging me 500 for rent and I have very few other bills. The thing is, I feel like a loser being my age and living with a younger friend but its also nice paying very little and being able to save a bit amount of money. While Im saving good money, I seem to spend my money on stupid useless shit that I dont need. My career is also killing me, mentally and emotionally. Im a skilled heavy equipment operatorcrane operator and have 9 years of experience under my belt. It doesnt pay very well especially for all the work and time that I put in ffs I put in 94 hours last week. I work 6 days every week sometimes 10 hours a day, but mostly 1415 hours a day and its just killing me as a person and its killing me because I have no freefun time. My boss has become a fucking nuisance and he wants me to work 7 days a week and hes the type of guy that wants to be a father figure to you and not a boss and its really starting to piss me off. He seems to favor the younger guys as wellthe ones who come in 10-15 minutes late every day and those who have become buddy buddy with him. I had put my resume on indeed.com last year to find a better paying job and to better myself as an operator and to move to a senior operator position, my boss has found my resume online and has mentioned it to many of my coworkers that hes pissed off about it but hasnt mentioned anything to me. He continues to belittle me to my friend who works with me my buddy has told me that my boss has said that Ill never find a better paying job and that nobody wants me blah blah blah. All of this is really getting to me and Im completely lost.So what can I do? Any help would be appreciated Assistant: When you say newer I thought you meant 2-3 years newer than your older Audi. At 26k, thats brand new. With your current living and job situations unpredictable, better to keep the Audi, put some money into maintaining it while you save for a car in cash. You might also want to save for a deposit, first and last, and get a safety net of 3-6 month bare bones expenses built up. It does not sound like you could afford a 26k car.Human: Its a 2008 Audi A3. Im interested in a 2018 Honda Civic Hatchback which is more reliable and has a nice warranty. I also forgot to mention that I have close to 100K in 401K, and 27K in my savings account if any of that matters.Assistant: 401K money shouldnt be touched.You shouldnt use all of your savings on a vehicle.Human: Youre absolutely right, I havent even thought about touching my 401K and I mean I wouldnt dare to use my complete savings for a car. Do you think its still not wise to use a bit of my savings for a down payment tho? Should I just forget about the new car for a little while until I find a new job?  <response>: I would wait on the car until you have a new job that youre happy with. Enjoy saving right now.I think maybe the stress from your job situation is making you feel like you want to reward yourself a little? Its honestly like an abusive situation with your current boss, so this is really understandable, but I would be aware of those feelings if youre feeling this and hold off for now.Plus, you paid off your bills so you might be thinking Treat yo self! Id wait a while.Your boss is a jackhole, by the way.
