I am seriously considering buying a new car very soon. My new job pays fairly well and I have been able to save money. Can you guess why I'm able to save money? I'm still living with my parents. I've been having this dilemma for the past month or so, should I get a new car and stay with my parents (or get a cheap, probably crap place for myself)? Or should I continue riding dirty with the '92 S-10 and spend more of my resources getting a decent place for myself? A lot of people have said "Well, what if you get a place to live and then you're truck goes out on you?" It's a good point. I've been driving my truck since I started driving, close to 9 years. At some point it's going to call it quits. Add to that my desire for an upgrade. I really just want something new. It doesn't have to be brand new (and I don't want to pay that much) but I want something new to me.
What say you guys? If I were to find a place to live, I don't need anything big and fancy for just myself. I imagine I could get a new car and a place of my own. I just worry about money because, well, that's what I do. I'm pretty cautious with my money. It can be a good and bad thing.
Thoughts and suggestions are welcome!

moving out makes a man ;)
seriously its the best thing you will ever do
I have lived on my own before (2 1/2 years in college) but this would be my first apartment on my own. I have two offers on the table to move in with people but I want my own place, to myself. It would be so much cheaper to have roommates but...
So you think place of my own instead of new car?
Patience, grasshopper. Seriously, both have their pros and cons. I suppose it would depend on how far your place would be from your work or school. Like you said, there would be a bit of trouble if your truck gives out... Well, hold on to your money a bit more and try decide if it would be a car, a new place, or both.
*puts The price is right game face on*
CRIB!!! GO FOR THE CRIB!!!
With that big ol' truck, it'll be easier for you to move your shit too! Or you could just live in the truck. Send that shit to West coast customs and get them to roof the back and sling in a sofa and a HDTV.
CRIB!!! GO FOR THE CRIB!!!
