<prompt> Human: So basically I am currently making 10 an hour part time, so I only make around 150 a week Im 16 and still in school btw. Im also paying monthly for a trombone I bought, which is 100 a month, and my phone which is 30 a month. My dilemma is that since Im more active outside of school, its getting increasingly difficult for my dad to drive me to all the things I do. So heres my game plan: Im going to pay off a large chunk of the trombone cost I have over 1000 saved up currently so that I dont have to pay as much monthly for that, and then Id pay monthly for a used car, most likely around 100, so my guess is that im gonna be paying 200-300 a month for everything. Does this sound like a solid plan or am I gonna screw myself over?  <response>: then Id pay monthly for a used car, most likely around 100What about insurance, gas, maintenance and repair? Theres no way youll only be spending 100 per month on your car unless your parents are willing to cover those additional costs.I suggest you pay off your trombone, save up a few thousand dollars, then buy a cheap used car in cash. You should be able to work more this summer and earn more than 150 per week.
