money for bills till payday
Shane Uehara asked:

I bought a BMW Z4 2 months ago. I have yet to make my first payment on it after a downpayment of 1500. i don’t have good credit(low 600) and i have a few charge-offs and i applied for more than several cash advances just to pay my bills and i don’t even remember i owe who and who and i never answer the calls from them or from collections. I figure sooner or later i will either file for bankruptcy or let it row for 7 years. I do have a second car(my mom’s car) that’s paid for and in her name that i use. coz my mom got her own camry(also paid for).

I am wondering if i should just keep driving that Z4 for a few months without paying till they eventually repo it. (to make my downpayment $1500 worthwhile) and when they sold it and ask for the difference, my payday loans and others will be over 90 days and i will include everything i owe and file for bankruptcy.

or should i keep paying for it even though i might eventually give up the car anyway after one year? my credit is already pretty damaged(low 600).. what should i do?

P.S. if i do decide to just don’t pay.. i can use the money for my horse-riding lessons and other fun stuff..and get my laptop back from my pawn shop which i will do eventually anyway. Plus A car will eventually be outdated.. and if i keep on making payments 5 years later… it won’t even worth a dime for all the money that i paid. and for what?

For all before you start judging me(and i know you guys will) i owned a biz at the age of 21 and I used to the luxury of things i had money for… and never care much for credit. since i had enough cash. after the biz ran to the ground, i have been trying to figure out my next biz venture. (i **** to work for ppl).
To response to Wheel man, frankly, my dear, i don’t give a damn.
