Default Anybody here have making mustang payments and going to college?

I need to quit my job in a year and go back to school full time. I'm planning to get as much student loans and financial aid as possible. The monthly payment on my stang is $248.34 and my insurance is $114 a month. So almost $400 a month for a car. Then I have to swing rent, food, utilities, and other random stuff that comes up. So if you're paying your way through college, how in the world do you afford your car? I'd hate to sell it, but I feel like I may not have a choice.

$400 a month ain't bad... Simply pulling in $300 a week, and averaging out to about $1000 a month and just $12K per year should get you through just fine. Just don't buy mods or waste money. You'll be ok....

Get a CDL and find a company that will work you one or two days a week doing overnight runs. I get paid $200 for any trip under 15hrs roundtrip, and $300 for a trip thats around 24hrs, unless I do a FL run which takes about 27hrs to do and pays a little over $500, but thats mileage pay. Just don't ask me if I drive legally.
