&gt;I only have 45k

My dude... I ride a bicycle for transportation to both of my minimum wage jobs working 50+ hours a week. I am trying to save up $1000 to afford a basic vehicle so that I can start my electricians apprenticeship. Mommy and daddy were and are drug addicts. So much so that they can barely even function.

This isn't a woe is me post, because I've been helped in a lot of other ways by a lot of other people and I have also taken advantage when I didn't even deserve the help. I am not ignorant to that. Just... try to have some perspective.
