WTF do i do?????

Your a a state certified mechanic right. You should be looking for that work.

If you can sell your dads house  take the money left from the Ins and the house, and with both of you working and a small down payment you should be able to find a house that is in your price range. There is a million repos out there, don't worry about the nicest.... just get a roof over your head and live. Things will pick up here in MI in a few years so just hang on. You  get your investment back on the house then .  Just try to stay out of debit.  Check into DHS to see if you qualify  for food stamps and Health Ins. Just some Ideas. I hope it helps

Also does you mom get the pension Maybe she would help you . If not who gets it? You could tell them to help you out for a bit and they wont have to look over there shoulder when they go out 

come on out to Argentine there's plenty of cheep houses and Flint is 25 miles a way for work.

My wife works nighst at wall mart and makes over 8 dollars an hour if your GF can find a job that pays that plus your pay that is a decent wage. I have been taking care of 3 kids and a wife on between 16 and 17 dollars an hour for the last 10 years. I don't do anything and don't have a lot of toys but I have what I need.

Also I have found only a few jobs in the paper so don't rely on that for work .  You have to go to places and put in your app.   Look though the phone book for places that you think you might like to work and call them, ask if there looking for help and go if they are. You  have the money to get a house and the payment will be about the same for an apartment depending on where you look . Hell you can get a one bedroom in Flint for cheap but you should buy my gun to keep out the creepy crawlies,lol 

What about the GF, would her parents let you stay there for a little bit till you rap up the loose ends and get a place?   If not,  I'm not sure but if  your dads house  go into foreclosure you can stay there for up to a year in some cases...  But since he died it is part of an estate so I'm not sure how that works.  You need to contact a lawyer.

The point is you can do it . You just have to decide your going to. So good luck and I am positive you will be just fine. If there is anything I can help with just ask Il help if  I can.
