is my logic wrong here, like shouldnt any sane person then invest virtually all their money?

i suppose the main counterargument is that its safer in a bank, anyway im not too knowledgeable so i wanna hear what people have to say here

The going rate at used car dealerships is 5000 and a friend of a friend has a car in reasonable condition for 1000. I doubt I could find the 1000 offer later on.

For reference a like ebike costs like 2000 without shipping and nobody sells them in my region.

I initially needed a car to get to a job that I don't have anymore. But maybe it'll be useful if I pick up a job outside the city again?

Also, maybe I could flip the car? since I need the money since i'm having job trouble atm.

If you've ever looked at how rightwing movements operate, it appears they throw a lot of money around. And because of the world we live in, it gets results, ex the canadian trucker protest having basically all the same amenities as a festival, nearly a theme park. Advertising budget. Funding institutions/youtube channels to spread bs.

I think the first thing a leftist should do is, in order:

1. get a good enough income for themself. This can include mutual aid or even things like food banks, depending on your philosophy.

1b) study some finance, ex the finance diet and use tricks from financial sources to boost income. This includes stock market/saving for retirement. I can elaborate later if u want on why savings are important. Including trying to use tax loop holes for our advantage. The rightwingers get an edge from this, we need to even the playing

Laid out in very simple steps, like a strategy guide for a video game. Don't suppose anyone knows of something like this?

I already budget.

Minimum wage job with no health care and I have high health care costs so paying for my meds out of pocket sucks a lot.

What should I do now to improve my life?

Sorry about the question being super broad, but i'm not sure what to do from here. Save up money? Try to get a better job? Trade school? Investments? Dating? Etc

• Buying the car
• Insurance (mandatory sometimes)
• Repairs
• Long term parking spot (garage)
• Street parking
• parking tickets (sorta)
• Fuel
• Windshield wiper fluid
• Oil change
• car cleaning (sometimes)
• Wheels (seasonal)

Anything else?

Indirectly: The burden on the environment, and if you drive long distances every day, your mental and physical health.
