*sigh*
I’ve been lying in bed for the past 3 hours, wide awake. I know I’m tired, but my mind will not rest about whether or not I can afford this car. Part of me is scared to death at having that much debt and wants to take it back. And I’m seriously considering it.
Perhaps a very cheap alternative would have been better. Something more reasonable in the $5k range. Why did I have to go for $14k? I assume you have a grace period where you can change your mind about a purchase, right?
I feel so silly about all this, but my biggest reason is my father. If he gets sick, where am I going to get the money to take care of him? How am I supposed to help him pay his bills? I already plan to cancel any unneeded regular purchases, like my World of Warcraft account.
I guess it doesn’t help that I am running a temperature and am feeling very weak and have aching bones from whatever it is that I’ve caught.
I feel like such a wimp about all this, but I’m just so scared.
Edit: Looks like I’m stuck, there’s no returning the car.

You could always sell it on.
No car is worth that amount of stress.

Yeah, I think I’m going to look into trading it down for something cheaper.

I think you should relax. I just went through the same thing. I bought a 2005 Toyota corolla it was used but I got a really good deal on it. 11,000 miles for only $13,500. I got a really good interest rate and I have never had a car this new before. Its like they always say You buy an older car you don’t have a monthly payment but you have a lot of maintenance bills You buy a new car you don’t have the maintenance bills but you have a payment. Plus your probably safer driving it longer distances and if you get in a crash. Plus you have full coverage on your insurance so if anything goes wrong with it you can get it fixed. I had a lot of anxiety about buying my car but I am so happy with it now. Before we could never go very far from home because we were worried we would break down but now we can go and pick people up from the airport and go on trips and all kinds of stuff. DEEP CLENSING BREATHS!

ha ha yeah, I’m feeling a lot better this morning. I have to accept the responsibility of a new car sometime. And now is a good a time as any because I have no huge bills like rent or a house payment or large debts.
I don’t know what my deal was last night. WITH insurance the car is only going to cost me $430 a month, that should be cake when I gross $1800 a month.
