<prompt> Human: I dont plan to live in the dorms I plan to live with my parents the other bills include internet, phone, and soon-to-be insurance all around 250month Every once in a while Ill get 500-1,000 bonus for doing internet odd jobs.Whats the best way to go about managing my income to the point of best deliverance? Should I pay extra when I can or save money for the next months payment? Is there any other details I need to supply?Total price thats being paid over 60 months is 17,500.  <response>: The smartest but not ideal decision would be to get rid of that car and get a semi-reliable 5000-8000 car. A car payment that high with that low of income while on school can really take a toll. Myself and plenty of people struggle to make ends meet in school without a car payment. What you should probably do is sit down and look and your income after taxes of course and see how much money you have left after your car payment and other bills. Living with your parents helps though. Also, are you paying for school with loans, scholarships, or withthe money you earn working?
