<prompt> Human: I do not have a car right now. Im 25 white male in southern Alabama. Ive had some personal tragedies happen to me so Ive basically wasted the past 5 or 6 years of my life and made some poor financial choices but luckily no felonies or disabilities to hold me back. Im about to start detailing cars at a car dealership 5 minutes from home making 9hr. Meanwhile, my old boss is in the process of putting a travelling team together and wants to put me on it, so ofcourse i will need a vehicle. He could call tomorrow or 3 months from now. Im just focusing on the job at hand. My credit score is around 450. So should i save up these 9hr paychecks to put towards a down payment on a vehicle? Or should i put the income towards paying off debt? The travelling job starts at 19hr plus perdeum. Will paying off debts even help my credit score? I have a credit card with a balance of 480, two Internet bills from old apartments of 125 each, and about 7300 in student loans.  <response>: Cash car, if you are able to get a loan interest is going to be horrific.
