I mean, I'm already planning on getting a new job before I graduate and put this EMT cert to use. Would prolly bring home 2500 a month
2500 a month or per check? where you live? you gonna live at home? cuz if not, between taxes and rent, that money is gonna be gone quick.
if your current car works well you need to just keep it for a few more years. do like other breh said, start your savings, pay down debt. if you got a little extra money, start an account specifically for a new car, drop what would be your car note (like $200-400) in it each month so you learn to live without that money....in a couple years, you'll have a nice down payment plus you should be making more so the note won't be as much of an issue.
i don't know how old you are, but one of my worst moves was copping new car a year out of school. yea i looked dope out and about, but between the note, gas (this is back when gas was like $4+/gallon) + a long commute, insurance, student loan, and rent, i was fully into that young fabulous and broke life. cars are a WOAT investment if you can't comfortably afford it
