With my hubby still in school I know exactly what you mean! We have two car loans. They aren't the most fancy cars, but with the two of our payments together we pay over $300 a month and I think that is a pretty nice car. It really helped us that my hubby goes to a good private school and all we have to do is wave his schools name in front of anyone and they usually want to talk. Credit cards stink! Everyone always told us not to get one, but due to an emergency we had to fall back on it.

So I suggest going out and getting an okay car, like my hubby drives an 01' Cavalier, until you graduate. Save up some money for a down payment and that will help as far as your payments go. Then once you get a full time job you shouldn't have much trouble. I can't wait until hubby graduates college in May. Then those crappy student loans will come. Yucky!
