<prompt> Human: Up sh Creek would be more accurate. My husband and I have quite a bit of debt medical, student loan etc and were low income. My debt is a huge source of stress. Ive worked hard to try to pay it down the last few years and avoid more debt as best as I can. Ive even recently taken on a second job to help pay off what we owe, though I havent officially started yet. A few months ago my husband decided he was unhappy with his job and quit without having another lined up. Now, we can barely make rent. On top of that Im currently sitting in my broken down car. Im going to have to wait 2 more hours for my husband to come pick me up. This is the 5th time this year my car has broken down. Both my jobs require use of my car to remain employed. I hate the idea of taking out a loan to get a new car, but I dont know what else to do. Keep sinking money into a dying car? Take out a loan? Wipe out our tiny bit of savings to buy another crappy used car? Any advice is appreciated.Edit: I make roughly 1000-1200 a month. It varies a bit. Ill have to ask my husband what hes making now with his odd jobs as Im not sure. Heres our monthly expenses:- Rent: 650- Student loan: 90- Car insurance: 100- Cell phone: 70- Food and household supplies: 400- Cable and Internet: 45 - Medical debt: 80 roughly 200-300 for ongoing treatment- Dog food: 40ish I can usually find coupons and stuff so sometimes its cheaper and I mix it with rice to save - My husband supports his disabled mom. She lives in a different country where theres no welfare system. Im not exactly how much he sends but maybe 100-200. - Probably a few hundred a month for gas, because I use it so much for my crappy job. Its got about 200,000 miles on it and is about 10 years old. I probably put close to 100 miles on it a week just on the job. Not counting commute.  <response>: Use your husbands car since he is apparently not working instead of buying a new car or have him drive you to work.
