<prompt> Human: I recently lost my car after about 4 years and had to get a new one. Ive had a total of 2 vehicles in my life and they were both bought by my parents, but this time Im a little more grown up and I bought myself my very first car and the payments are absolutely killing me, its a 2014 MINI Cooper S priced at 26k and my payments are about 330 every two weeks, 700mo. And thats still too low since my mother pays the remaining 70 or whatever is left above 330 every two weeks Im an assistant manager at CVS and cant afford to live on my own and pay for this car. Ive been living with my parents for the past 2 years and I especially cant afford to move out now that after bills I have only 200 left average from this car and the hours theyve been cutting from me.. my credit is god awful but improving now that I have a car loan Im paying off, its at 522 now before it was 517....My option right now is to get my CNA license or pharmacy tech certification or something that will land me a job at higher pay, but Im kind of stuck in an area where positions are filled everywhere around me, still not impossible though. I just need advice on how to juggle all of this and get me some cushion to fall back on. At the moment I have 20 in my account until 2 days from now and thats about how close I have to cut it every week and I dont even pay rent. Edit: I was making enough money before my hours were cut and I didnt expect to be making half of what Im making nowAssistant: Whats stopping you from selling the car and buying a cheaper one?Human: I kind of promised myself I would get this car as the next car Id buy, and that I wont go down in quality or year when buying a car, the last car was a 08 dodge avenger and I wanted newer year and a mini, this was the closest and cheapest  <response>: and that I wont go down in quality or year when buying a carThe Mini-Coopers are rife with problems and you are substantially overpaying for yours.Youre in Buy a nice CPO Honda or Toyota from circa 2012 territory. Right now, your car owns you - not the other way around. You need to either set your expectations for moving out on your own aside, or set your vehicle expectations aside, because both are not possible.
