Don't kill me guys

If you don't have the resources to fix up the house, then maybe you need to give serious consideration to selling. The longer you wait, the more damage that will

If you don't have the resources to fix up the house, then maybe you need to give serious consideration to selling. The longer you wait, the more damage that will be done from the leaks and the less you will get for the house. If mold sets in, you're boned.

While I would have worded thing a little different, I have to agree with Tigger. You are an "able-bodied/minded" person with the resources to meet your basic needs with enough left over to have a freaking 370Z in the garage. And I'm betting you're enjoying a lot of other luxuries such as cable, Internet, cell phone, &c. Work hard, love your family and friends, and, one day, you might have the nicer things that you desire. Don't expect someone else to buy your ticket.

I expect nothing from no one. Just asked for help. Again the payments on my Z are almost the same as my accord was. Again I do well enough to support my regular needs. But by no means do I make enough to pay for major renovations that were plopped in my lap by the death of my father. Pretty it's already unsellable. So never mind. You guys are right. I'll just not reach out. And wait for my electrical to catch fire and my roof to fall in. A year ago I couldn't even bury my father. And now I drive a z but that doesn't mean I make enough to fix major house issues that's insane amount of money to have up front. If someone is willing to help cool. If not shut up. Also no one mentions the one of my guitars that was a 21st birthday present is for sell. I'm not just begging for money.

i think you're missing the point. Asking for help should only be an option when all other options are expended. You can sell your z, fix your house then drive around your $700 truck until you saved enough with your great job to be able to afford a nice car again. Build your credit up, a lot of people don't have upfront cash for anything but make it work.

How old are you ? No one wants to see your roof fall in and catch fire dude, again if its that serious to your well being , sell your car

edit: this is a public forum on the internet that you CHOSE to post on, "if not shut up" isn't a good choice of words. What makes you feel so entitled ? Again no disrespect to your family, but there's people that are in for way worst than you and resort to many other options before a gofundme.

OP. You got killed on #6.
Get rid of what you don't need. Get your expenses straight. Maybe you don't really need your Z or the other toys for now but can always come back when you are ready. Good luck with your finances and sorry about your loss. I know how much money can really stretch so you should just try it out and make sacrifices.

Sell my broken Z for what? Less then the banks loan amount lol then have to make up the rest of those payments. Truck clutch failed completely. I'll sell you my Z for 30k then? Thatl cover my loan and maybe my roof and clutch.

My expenses are straight for my self and my car... Wwell not necessarily now wasn't expecting the nicesest newest vehicle I ever owned to just fail. That's fine I'll get around to fixing it one way or another. That is wayyy different then a 6000$ fix for a roof that again was dropped in my lap. Not to mention siding or God forbid the electrical. You guys act like financing a Z is like financing a Ferrari.

What do you expect from a 28 year old? I do not know.... On my earlier post I said I would not judge you for who you are. But I think I would take that back, based from your arguments about your accord vs the Z and your $700 clutch failing truck and your failing house that you inherited from your late father. Hmmm....
Let me ask you this...your house just did not started to fall off the day your dad passed away, you knew for a fact that that house was in shambles and needed some repairs. I do not think this just happened overnight.
Why not or have you even extended assistance to your dad when he was alive to rebuild the house when your life was better? But yet you decided to go for your dream car of owning a Z instead of doing the right thing for your dad and the house. Now that is a $20 big difference way of thinking over there.

Why was it a priority now just because you where burdened by an inheritance of a house that is about to fall?
Son if you truly respect the memories of your good father, make him proud and build your home. Nothing wrong to ask help but help is being extended to those really in need.

What you need is a good advice how to fix your finances to cope up with your situation. I've been there many times in fact I failed many times miserably in life but I did find a way to bounce back and made it better.

As the old book of life says "teach a man how to fish and he will never go hungry"
Learn from this MAN and you will be RICH!

He had a heart attack. Died unexpected out of no where. I was helping him as much as I could at the time. And now I'm doing even better financially. Yes there is far more ppl in trouble. I'm not telling anyone to choose to help me or not. But I'm asking for it on expenses that regardless are out of my financial reach right now. Figured my fellow Z community would be cool enough to at least share my story and maybe get some help for stuff way out of my control right now. You guys are awesome

Dude we are not being insensitive about your loss we respect that and we are sorry about your loss. Dude I'm not comparing and I'm not the type of person who dwells on my sorrows.

6 years from now my dad passed away in a hospital from a massive stroke, I could not even go home to see him while he was alive and wasn't even able to bury him for the fact I could not afford to buy airfare tickets to go home overseas, as I was just starting my life in here in the US, no credit history, no green card, no big credit limit. I had to say goodbye to him over the phone and seek forgiveness for my short comings.

Dude it was a Sunday when he passed away. Monday I went to work and gave my best to my patients to make them well even if my heart is crushed. I never asked anyone for anything, I never asked for sympathy or reprieve from my daily obligations. All I asked from my friends and love ones is to pray for me for strength and inner peace.

Dude this community is alive and very supportive to those who are in need. There is even a thread about a fellow forum member in Canada that passed away of cancer...the forum even opened up an account to support his wife and family as he was the bread winner of the family. We had to help him sell his mods, car parts and his Beloveded Z.

My advise tear down your gofundme.com and build your self up. Open a for sale thread of your mods and we would gladly assist you selling them. If you say your doing better financially then set your priorities and don't pass it along the responsibility to others. For me that is irresponsible and coward. I'm sorry no better word to describe it.

Even if the Z was given to you, it's not a good car for someone in a financial bind. Normal maintenance is expensive (check out the price of good tires); some problems (eg, CSC) can easily break the bank if you don't have some money stashed away. And insurance can be pretty high, too.

Even if I didn't own the Z do you know how long it would take for me to save up 15+k? To fix my home. Owning the Z has barely anything to do with it. That's why I traded my accord and financed. Because I don't have a lot of money. Your right I'm not dying yet or starving. But I do have some serious issues in my house my dad left me unexpectedly. My bad asking for help. I don't expect any. But if someone wants to that would be great. Maybe I'll still have a house to raise my future family in. Other then that I'm probably going to have to wait fingers crossed it doesn't burn down or rot. If you would like to share . Donate. Or buy an item. Thank you. If not that's fine too. And to the ppl who hate on me asking for help. I hope you have major family losses. Can't repair your home's. Have to sell your car's and rot in he'll cause no one wanted to help you. Nah jk. Trust me it sucks. Also I'd probably toss you 20$ thanks. I will not be replying to this. If someone wants to help cool. I don't need your judgement :3

How sweet of you. Did it ever occur to you that many people have been through even worse?

Yep, it sucks, but Life's a bitch and the only thing you can do when she knocks you down is pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and give it another shot. Being a success in life (however you care to define it) does not come easy and it doesn't come fast.

no one seemed to ask the obvious.....Home equity loan? surely you have no note on the home...If you do, perhaps look into insurance for the roof repair.
It appears you have priority issues if you value your car more than your residence. These problems were relevant before you bought the car, and that's where your coin should have gone.
Lastly, please take down that piece of douchebaggery go fundme page.
If you don't, and you get funded, let me know, I really, really need a twin turbo setup for my Z.
