$2700. They have to rebuild the transmission. I'm starting to hyperventilate because we just don't have it. This is the least expensive we can find, and we have called everyone. I don't know what I'm going to do. We haven't spent any unnecessary money at all in the last couple of months. We've eaten through our savings paying the mortgage on our rental on top of rent.
I'm just trying to take deep breaths and figure it out. This may be the first time in my adult life I may have to ask family to borrow money and that kills me. I have to have a car. My weird schedules just don't allow for one car. And, my boss kinda sucks and is not being understandable at all.
I need the universe to give me a teeny, tiny break.
There's no point to this other than to try and vent and talk it out. Creepy internet hugs are welcome.
I understand your guilt about asking family, but in my experience at least, families normally don't mind helping when they can. I'm sure that they will be glad to take some of the stress off you if they can.
