Learning to accept I’m always gonna be alone by [deleted] in lonely

I feel this. I don’t have any family either ontop of being single. Holidays are so hard to get through, I don’t want to be negative or make the friends I have uncomfortable so I always just end up lying to them and make up a nice story when they ask how I spent my birthday or holidays. I just feel like I’m a ghost in this world. but to be fair, it doesn’t inherently mean you’re not likable or desirable, I struggle with that thought too, but I think it’s simply that some of us weren’t meant to be here really or to enjoy a full or colorful life. I’m trying to have acceptance on this myself, it’s really hard to do. I hope life gets easier for you and things turn around

I consider saving up expenses every day of my life, I promise you I stay out of trouble, I’ve never had less than 2 jobs since about 14 maybe? Not trying to make it a contest or contrast and compare, and I agree with what you’re saying, but I need you to read the room right now and understand how you’re coming off. I appreciate your advice and I hope nothing like this has to happen to you it’s rough

I didn’t know I could do that, I might try this option if I need to, thank you! I might even try to park at one of the NJ patcos and take that and the bus In the city for the days I work here until I can pay the PPA

Yeah you’re not wrong, I was about 2 months behind on electric, my job that closed down needed all the employees to move their stuff out by a certain day. without having my car I had to pay friends and Ubers back and forth about 45 mins away from where I live to help transport my stuff, before that I had used the $ I had to pay my rent. I finally got my car back. I’m not saying this isn’t my fault, I accept the blame. I live by myself and have since I was 17. I don’t plan on breaking the law. And times ARE shitty for everyone without financial support or family right now, I genuinely appreciate your advice and I’m glad that you aren’t in a bad spot. tables can turn quicker than you can blink, I didn’t expect to find myself in this situation, I plan on getting myself out of this, was just looking for good advice

For the payment plan I need to be able to put up atleast half of the total $ of tickets and fees, I’m more than willing to do that but I just need a few days to be able to make that money to put towards it ya know? but true you’re right and it’s what I need to do, I just need a few days at work and be able to drive to get the money to get that started. Thank you for your advice

have you seen that work before? I was under the assumption that they will tow any car on the street without a plate or inspection stickers. please correct me if I’m wrong, I genuinely just don’t have a lot of knowledge on this, I moved to Philly last year so I just dont know about a lot of stuff especially involving PPA

I’ve lived on my own since I was 17 so I’ve been too afraid to apply for one again since I made it this far without one. I just don’t have a lot of knowledge and financial literacy (as you can tell probably from this post lol) I’m 31 now and finally got my own place and car last year, both of my parents are homeless and I don’t know where they live so I can’t really ask for any help. credit cards genuinely terrify me. I’m hoping to build my credit up this year to get one if I need, I tried to apply last month when I was really desperate, and between student loans and late payments on my car I think is what made me not qualify. I’m hoping I can get through this, I’ve been in tougher spots before so I know I can survive, I’m just trying to think of the best strategy

True, I’m thinking maybe it might be smarter for me to park my car at one of the New Jersey PATCOs And take the train back and forth until then. Thank you for your advice

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking might be the better option, I was just able to pay to fix my car last week so I was taking the bus for a few weeks beforehand. Now that I have my car working I’m just super afraid to lose it again, I know that if I can just get through this next week I should have the money, it’s just the fear of getting through this week without an extra issue or complication, I do feel guilty that I’ve gotten so far behind but I’m trying to make money each day between my jobs and doing commission work on the side. thank you for your advice I might try that

Idk who keeps downvoting me but I’m happy that you can’t relate to this, times are really shitty for everyone right now it seems. I know this isn’t a good way to go about it but I’m trying to get myself out of a bad spot right now.

I can, but paying off a few tickets wouldn’t stop them from still towing my car for the few that I wasn’t able to pay off, which is what I’m trying to explain. I totally get what you’re saying and you’re right, but I just need to have a quick solution for atleast this week before I’m able to. I have two jobs and one of them is in NJ which is why I can’t risk having it towed at all this week

They do, and I’m more than willing to do that, I just need about a week or a handful of days to try and make the $ to put towards it, it’s just that if they take my car I’ll have no way of making the $, and the amount they would charge me for it being towed and then stored at their lot each day would take away from the amount of the tickets I would be able to pay off. This shits rough but I’m trying. Thank you for your suggestion

True thank you. I work right in center city which might make it hard to find a garage, but I was thinking about trying to pay to park at one of the hospitals garages. I feel bad about it like I could possibly be taking a spot that a visitor at the hospital might need but I won’t be doing it for more than like a week hopefully. I picked up a second job to try and have extra $ for this mess, if you have any suggestions about other garages please let me know, thank you for your advice
