To the original thread poster. I have had to make that choice myself before. I have lived in my vehicle before, a couple times actually. I once bought an old van and lived in it for a few years. I understand when $100 is the difference, I understand when $10 is the difference.

I hope you ignore some of the mean, cold hearted comments that have appeared in the comments to your post. Nobody knows what anyone elses situation is like for them, or how much more they can take before they can't do it all properly anymore. I know the stress of college, it's why I have one fourth of a degree. Sometimes something has got to give, in order to keep dealing with other things.

I hope you can find a solution that allows you to keep moving forward, or at least hold the ground you have till you are able to feel better.
