(US) 34, 650 credit score, 2600 a month. No clue what to do. Feeling hopeless and out of my element.

This is the best paying job I’ve ever had in my life, they provide a vehicle stipend and have paid for hotels when traveling out of state. I should get a place to live near Seattle as that’s where I’ll be based out of - but I just finished two months back and forth out of state. I’m actively looking for a place to live but my car decided it’s ready to die and I’m not sure how many miles I can continue to put on it - so I might not be able to afford a deposit/rent this month like I had hoped. I feel like I could either get an apartment and lose the car, or get a new car and wait longer on an apartment/room in a house.

Also telling someone to get a new job is terrible advice. You have no clue how hard I’ve been looking for work since the pandemic closed down the business I was in before.
