I BOUGHT A CAR

Bought a used red Peugeot e-208 electric car: £4,000 credit-card deposit, roughly £190 monthly for 48 months, and £1,400 insurance. With debt near £17,000, he pursued a job interview and submitted a Domino’s delivery application to fund the car. Early driving was anxious: he scratched a mirror in a bush, struggled reversing, and chose edited vlogs over livestreaming.

Novelty-driven spending again creates debt and obligation, but now pushes him tentatively toward conventional work.
