Struggling: looking for help

San Diego CA

Description

I feel horrible reaching out knowing others have more difficulties than I do right now. I’m a mid 20’s woman that recently left a very unhealthy/abusive long term relationship with virtually nothing. I wish I would have walked away before covid. I tried but I always fell back in not wanting to lose what I thought was the best I would be able to get. I spent almost a decade with someone who only recently acknowledged his physical, emotional, and financial abuse. I’ve been struggling to save anything living in California. I’d like to move somewhere cheaper, another state, also to distance myself from him..but I haven’t been able to afford a car. I’m stuck in a constant loop of making just enough to survive and but not enough to get ahead. I can’t afford a car payment plus insurance and gas. But I have $1k ($2k if I save my entire paycheck after this next one). I realize used car prices are inflated right now, and that makes it a good opportunity to make some more money while times are difficult for all of us. All I want is something that can drive me to a second job long enough to afford a longer lasting solution. If you know anyone who might be able to help, it would make such a large difference in my life. God bless.
