Car died

2009. I don't need this. Was hoping it was just the battery but its not. Now it has to be towed Monday. On top of the TMJ expense, I'm having a panic attack. Why are these things happening? I know others have worse problems, but I can see my dream of a cheap condo fading fast.

I've done without so much over the years to save money. Poof! Gone

I have never found "others have worse problems" to offer any comfort. You are in pain, your car died, and your dream is fading. My guess is that you have had worse weeks in your life and you pushed through with determination, grit, gumption, or just got lucky. I have had worse weeks and I'm still standing, mostly by luck I think. I am really hoping that things turn around soon for you.

sorry to hear that the car went

I hate when things hit me that I can't afford

I doubt that you live a walkable / public transportation lifestyle because its hard to do in America.

Praying for a solution for you that lets you keep keeping on and getting things done.

Have a great evening.

YOU are having more than one problem at a time and it hurts.
