The dealer doesn’t want your tag, but the DMV does. If you don’t complete the process to transfer the tag to your next car, you are legally required to return it to the Florida DMV, either in person or by mail.

Your license can be suspended if you don’t do it within 30 days.

Everyone has spent big on dumb stuff and later regretted it. If your figuring finances and losses on a spreadsheet while in college, something tells me you’ll be fine. I’d be more concerned with paying off the 40k ASAP and not eventually. The interest saved may get you that 6k back.

It's legit, and you could make hundreds if you enough donate enough, but it's probably not gonna be that much. I did it a few years ago with CSL Plasma. They let you donate every two days (but no more than twice a week). Each donation took about 4-5 hours (2-3 waiting in line and 1-2 donating), and they paid me 50$-$150 because of sign up bonuses.

So if you managed to make 8 donations in the first month with the sign-up bonus, you could make over a thousand in a month. But after that, you'll make a lot less than that because it hurts to donate too much, and you'll likely get closer to the $50 side of payouts after the first few.

But ~$10/hr to sit with a needle in your arm while watching Netflix isn't terrible.

Yeah its registered. I had been using the temp paper tag. Then they called me yesterday telling me I can pick it up. The accident was 3 days ago

If you already have a plate, you should be able to have it assigned to the new car. But this is immaterial if the car is totaled. A car doesn’t need to be registered to “exist” (which is won’t for much longer anyway); it needs to be registered for you to drive it on public roads. Which you can no longer do.

I see. I recommend confirming the requirements first before you do anything.

When they increase rates, do they automatically increase rates or would you have to contact them to apply the new rate?

I think the issue is that fresh grads (people in their first jobs) generally don't understand professional norms and that is a function of lack of experience (not their fault). Having fewer examples around that help establish professionalism can cause issues. While many people can manage remote work just fine, many people cannot. Companies are calling employees back into offices for this reason (and others) - it isn't because of the reddit excuse of "real estate."

Usually some combination or all of the following:

1. They list the starting point of the bidding - will actually sell for more
2. All cash only
3. Have to pay back taxes as a condition of the sale
4. Require at least the purchase price in repairs and renovations

People in big cities would kill for that kind of commute for 12 mile each way. This is a no-brainer totally worth it move. Edit. I think i misread OP as 23 miles round trip. Still a great commute though.

I just remember reading about it being illegal to possess one without it assigned to a vehicle? Or something

Don’t beat yourself up too much. You learned something about budgeting that will serve you well in life and we’re not talking about ruinous amounts of money here. Sell what you can now and regroup. Being down $3K will feel better than being down $6K.

Switch your thoughts to focusing on growth, not beating yourself up for the past. You are wasting money by beating yourself up to the point where you can't get value out of what you already spent. You are also making your education less valuable by dwelling in beating yourself up over this. Actively work to change your mindset on this to get the most value and enjoyment out of your hobby.

Is there any space to teach this hobby or rent out some of the equipment?

What do you need the tag for? (This might be a state specific thing I'm not aware of)

Exactly! Let this be your buffer so that you can make a budget to save (and invest) significantly!

To get the tag. They already paid for it. I'm still going to pay them back, as previously agreed.

I mean y’all can both be right in the correct context. Not every job or culture functions that well remotely. In my old job I was able to work remote, but I just got a raise and promotion this past year more or less because I ‘am around’. Obviously there’s a little more to it, but I was building relationships at the plant, helping out troubleshooting with things outside of my scope, and just giving the plant a feeling that engineering cares about what’s going on. That would not have happened if I stayed remote.

Hahah I know right!!

Why would you need to go to the used car dealership? Your family member who was dumb enough to sign for you is on the hook for the car. You can continue to pay them back for it or not. End of story.

Why does everyone on this sub with money problems have a car loan?
