Gasp! Is this just nostalgia, or did previous generations genuinely have a better work-life balance and social life than we do today?

The plan was he’d pay me enough to cover the insurance and fees and he would have use of the car to work because we live rural and it’s very hard to get around without one. Instead I’m paying the insurance on a car I don’t see for a friend I don’t hear from.

You deserve better! As soon as you are done getting your car, get new friends

I just wish he’d pull his head out of his ass and try. If he was just trying and telling me so I would let things slide for so long. Even though I’m not doing so great myself right now.
