okay at the beginning of February, I'm getting a check worth about 2,000. and my mom said if i was going to get a car she would chip in a 1,000. so that is 3,000, but a local car dealership sales used cars to college students and takes 1,000 off the price. so for 3,000 i can get a 4,000 car. the car would be awesome because this city doesn't have buses/trolleys or any way to travel.
or i can get braces. i wanted something for my upper row because it has spacing. braces would be wonderful because if i had great teeth then i'd definitely be a 10. i am so low-confidence about my teeth.
i want both equally, because if i get a car i can get a much better job. if i get a better job then i can eventually get braces.
if i get braces i will have much better confidence. i have a low confidence.

absolutely get the BRACES first. Especially if your still covered under your mom and dad's insurance at all.
no question. definitely the braces... you'll be so happy in a couple of years!
And, think of it this way, if straight teeth will make you a 10 someone might just give you a car for being so dang hot!

Try thinking of it this way...
Your car may serve you for a few years before it breaks down or is wrecked. Your investment will go by the wayside and you'll still have bad teeth.
On the other hand, if you got the braces, you could still get a ride at a later date and then have both the car and the pretty teeth.
The thing with teeth is that they are correctable only for a limited time in your life. After a certain age, corrections can sometimes lead to surgeries.
I'm actually kind of surprised that your parents are even offering you help with the car and not insisting on the braces first.

Take care of yourself first. Get the braces.
In today's modern society you'll get a better job if you look good then you will if you have a car. You may not like it but that facts speak loudly. Good looking people get better job offers. Image is the key.
The braces will raise your self esteem, make you try harder and you'll land a better job with more confidence.
You can always buy a cheap car for the short term and trade up later. You can't get cheap braces.

You don't pay for braces all at once (they usually want you to pay by the month, as your treatment continues), so could you swing payments for both a car and braces? The braces will give you lifelong, fantastic, self-confidence.
That dealership claiming they will take off $1000 a car for college students sounds like a gimmick. Use kbb.com to find the real values, and deal with any place armed with good information to get a good car.

in case you're dealing with ok without a automobile now - get the braces. As you recognize, there are a number of different costs linked with possessing a automobile. as quickly as you have your braces, you may start saving for the automobile. as quickly as you get a automobile although, you will possibly in no way have the greater funds to get your braces.

Better think of gas prices, insurance, oil changes, brake repair, and other incured costs when you buy a car. Braces have no hidden costs
