   I think my van is starting to slowly die, has been for years. I may pick up a second part time job to prepare to replace it. RIP my freetime...

     No, I already have a full time job, I will need a second one if I want to replace or repair this vehicle and I'm leaning on just letting it die and getting a little used toyota or honda car.

     @gnarley_boot that's still bad, man. If you need another job just to replace your car it means your current one isn't paying you enough for the standard of life.

     It's not undrivable, but it's becoming a real pain in arse to drive, the idle is so rough, I have a broken motor mount, transmission is faulty and the fuel pump is malfunctioning. I'm not a car guy and it's frustrating, I know my gearhead friends would be springing into action with YouTube videos and trips to autozone, but I'm just not that guy. Id rather get another car and start over. Maybe then I'll find interest in the gearhead stuff.

     Yeah rent basically tripled in cost over the past 7 years here, it's been brutal. I can't move out of city or state either because my kids are here and I grew up with my dad always living in another state, and I refuse to subject them to that shit. So I just learned to be better with my money and be a hard worker.
