I’ve posted around my local facebook groups for carpooling options/ride sharing/ride sharing/renting.
Combined with the immense cost of paying some one submarket rates (less than taxi/uber) to bring me to the job and back, i’d only be taking home slightly more than minimum wage.
Can I theoretically buy a car for like 3 months then like sell it at not too much of a loss?
I’m in a bad state right now financially and don’t have another job lined up. This seasonal job will hopefully help me get a better physical labor job like becoming a carpenter or like plumber.
My boss and a few other (capitalists) people tell me that buying a car is a good investment and is like guaranteed to increase income… I guess if I did manage to become like an carpenter or whatever, then i’d need a car to bring all my tool stuff around town?
I assume there isn’t any serviceable public transportation and biking is not feasible?
Short-term leasing is a possible option. Many car rental businesses may accomodate this, including some online ones. I haven’t done it myself so I cannot comment on it.
When the alternative is not making income, I’d have to agree that a car might be necessary. It sucks to say that! Although I bet that many carpentry and plumbing employers may provide a work vehicle.
As an aside, I’d absolutely love to see a plumber arrive on a cargo bike.
