I read your story and felt compelled to make a reply.
I understand you are young and perhaps haven't been exposed to many ideas of things you can do to make a living ( I am assuming you WANT to work). I would just like to give you a few ideas to think on of things you could do AND, NOT sell the truck.....
A man w a truck (if he uses his head and doesn't mind working) should NEVER be broke. there are too many things you can do w that truck to make money.
1. Haul scrap metal (price of scrap is up pretty good right now)Place an ad in the nickel or paper that you'll haul it away free, and you'll be in business.
2. Grab a lawnmower and go mow lawns(In cali that is almost a yr round thing) and I have a friend there that makes $30,000 a year doing that.
3. Yard clean-up and hauling service(again the truck and the newspaper would be your best friends)
4. Maybe even a "Personal errand service" I had a friend in Colorado that did this out of a car for little stuff and paid me for doing big jobs, and he did quite well also.
Just a few pointers for you, but the bottom line is.....
I would NOT sell the truck!! There's just too many things you could do w it. I wish you all the luck in whatever happens.
