<prompt> Human: Hello PF, just as the title said heres my situation. Im 27 and attending school full time using my GI Bill. It covers all my expenses and leaves me about 150-200 extra per month that Im in class. I saved up money before exiting the military with the plan of taking extra classes to graduate in 2.5yrs and not working due to the heavy work load. All was working until recently. I bought a moped to get around 1200 and it was stolen so I bought a car beater car 2300 to get around and now the mechanical issues are building exponentially. Do I well it and use whats left of my remaining 5000 and work anyways? Or should I take public transportation to and from school which eats up 3hrs per day? Im taking 17credit hrs so working is pretty much an impossibility now but I guess I could take less class in summer and work to pay it off. Have 1 year left of classes so putting off graduating at this point makes me cringe too. What say you?Edit: thank you everyone for your ideas and insight. You have my eternal gratitude. As of now I will sell my car since its only getting worse. Ill continue with public transport for the rest of the semester 1 month. I think a bicycle would be a highly viable option and combination of bike, bus, and classes at better times next semester could work out well. I will look into a part time campus job and plasma donation since my plan was good but no infow of cash is asking for trouble. Also, have insurance. Would have prevented this whole debacle. Edit II: Sold the car, still plan on getting a bicycle, and after through examination of the bus schedule I learned it will save me 1hr if I leave and return earlier so I registered for earlier classes in the fall to help.  <response>: Is it possible to purchase a bike and travel to from class?Public transportation may not be a bad option as you can take the time to work on your assignments optimizing your time on public transit.
