Question does your GF do the same as you? Does she work 2 jobs or do any kinda sacrifices that you do? Not trying to start anything just legit question. Wouldn’t be fair if you were the only one doing all that

Yea, she also works two jobs, does all the cooking, and a majority of the cleaning and shopping
IDK what your situation is with knowing any mechanics, but generally if i have someone i don't know look at my car, i try to also get the error codes and research it myself.
I have a very good friend of mine who has been a mechanic for over 30 years, and i usually take a video and call him if anything funky is going on.
Either way, even if its a certified mechanic, i would not just take my car into a shop and cut them a check. I hope you at least asked questions first.
Also, how did you find out and get it fixed same day? Couldn't have been to crazy right? Most shops around me are backed up at least a day, but hey thats anecdotal evidence.
Just something to think about next time this happens. I am not hating on ya. Its natural to freak out and just want to get the car fixed lol.
Basically the unit that connects the fuel cage to the line went bad so I couldnt tell how much fuel I actually had in my car. They had to replace the entire unit
My mechanic is trustworthy. My whole family has been using them for years. They used to be one of my mom's customers (she was their banker)

So y'all are working a combined what, 4 jobs? What's rent like where you're at?
Im working basically one full time, two part time jobs She's working one fulltime, one part time
My half is roughly $1000 a month right now for food and rent. The rest has been going to gas, doctors, and car mostly, with the last couple months extra with some band spending I had to do, and a friends 30th birthday. With a little left over for personal spending/saving. I've cut almost all of my subscriptions, I have one left because I still get the monthly IDW TMNT comic, but I'll be cutting that too. I cut Audible this month. Im basically living paycheck to paycheck right now. The issue is trying to save on top of that. I regret buying tickets and preorders for stuff months ago when I lived with my parents still.
Like I got tickets for Dethklok this week, and I feel guilty going. I dont want to sell the tickets, but I feel like I should. I also just basically cancelled our tentative vacation plans for October, because Im now planning to use the week off from my main job to pick up hours at my side jobs.
When we get the house, my half will go up to $1500 a month, which is more than a whole paycheck for me.
Bro people who live paycheck to paycheck don't have the type of disposable income to just drop 700 on a car repair, or any money in savings.
I'm not trying to be a dick either. Just saying you are making it out to be worse than you are.
Like what's your income at this place?
No offense, but 1k a month In bills is basically nothing. 1500 isn't really shit either. My mortgage is 1600 on its own.
If you are struggling to pay 1k in bills a month, you should considered a manufacturing or a shipping and receiving job. I bet you could make more than what you are making now, and only work 40 hours a week.
Fuck these part time jobs that pay dick. Go find a job that pays better and work less.
