    You dont have to spell it out for everyone in depth, we get the gist. It's not there business but everyone is pretty much right as far as purchasing a truck when times are tight. It can be hard enough sometimes when things are well. Trucks can be moody sometimes and go through spurts where your throwing tons of money at them at once, no matter how well you keep up your maintenance. These times often break guys who are on a tight budget.

    I agree with finding a better paying job instead of looking into buying a truck. Not only are there a whole lot of expenses involved, but you said you haven’t been in the industry long so you’ll probably have a difficult time getting financing regardless of your credit and down payment. In addition to that, if you are able to get a truck you’re gonna have a hard time putting it to work at a reputable company since you’re a new driver.

    Good luck with whatever situation you’re in.

    Some guys pay allot of child support. Like 1300 a month or even 3 grand a month. Kinda like paying for two households.
