<prompt> Human: Ok so not sure if its 100 percent appropriate for this subreddit but I figure why not. Im currently 19 and live in SoCal with my parents. Me being the dumb teenager that I wasstill am, Ive made a series of consistently poor decisions. I had my first and only job making 12.50 hr for pretty easy work, that work was just mind-numbingly boring. Because of this, I figured finances werent something to really worry about too much and besides, my parents had already made all those big mistakes massive debt, bankruptcy, foreclosure etc. for me so I wouldnt repeat them.So I spent money however I liked, and was eventually able to open up a couple credit cards. I figured its important to build credit and for awhile I was doing well, my score peaked at around 735. Then I went off the rails with it. I maxed out my cards and in addition to that bought a car from my friend, taking out a personal loan from my credit union. I was stretching myself pretty thin, paycheck to paycheck making payments to miscellaneous things but it was manageable. About a month back on Jul 3rd I got a DUI and had my car impounded. With me being unable to pay, my dad had to pay 700 just to get the car out. So now I have an attorney as well as expected court fees to pay on top of everything. Also I just got a ticket for speedingdriving wo insurance in a friends car a week and a half ago so thats coming up tooMy mental state after a combination of all these things didnt lend itself very well to making informed decisions, so a couple weeks ago I quit my job, it depressed me to no end so I just walked out. I figured I was next on the chopping block so why bother waiting to get fired which I realize now is fucking stupid. I couldve at least been getting unemployment pay right now to at least keep my head above water but I didnt, I just QUIT. Ive been pounding the pavement everyday looking for work, filling out applications nonstop, Ive gotten a couple interviews here and there sporadically but nothing too hopeful yet.Enough with the personal story, here are the important relevant detailsI have no jobI have no valid drivers licenceI have 2 pending court dates in about a month,1 for the traffic ticket and 1 for DUI Im sure itll affect my job prospectsMy attorney fee is going to be 2500, 1500 upfront and 300 installments monthly after thatI owe 776 on my Discover card, minimum payment- 35 0 interest until 32017I owe 2409 on my AMEX card, minimum payment- 35 0 interest until 32017I owe 2466 on a personal loan for my car, 147 monthly to pay off in 2 years time, 52018 18 aprMy phone bill is 113 monthly with 523 left to pay off the phone itselfI have a dental payment plan thats 185 monthly with 2065 total left to pay offIm trying to sell my car for 4000 but nothing solid has come of it yetI have 50 in my checking accountThats about it. My parents are going to be factoring into this by helping me with whatever they can but this is too big for them too. I know obviously this a shit situation Ive created for myself and my family and that theres no magic fix but maybe you guys can help me with a plan of action? A way to get out of this deep hole Ive dug?  <response>: Sell the car for whatever you can get, since you wont be driving for a while any way. Use the money to pay whatever fines you get. make a payment plan with lawyer and pay them. Get 2 jobs to pay rest of loans back. Thank your Dad for bailing you out, since many would have left you there to learn a lesson.
