This is not a dilemma, this is a pants of fire emergency. SELL YOUR CAR.
Even if you take a $2k loss when paying off your car loan, you'll be coming out ahead. You're paying $610/mo for your car/insurance. That's insane, and represents, 22.6% of your net take home pay. HOLY SHIT.
If we take the scenario that you provided and you sell your car, and buy a $4k Honda or Toyota you're coming out way ahead.
You can vastly decrease the timeline to achieving this scenario by dropping your food budget in half, easily saving $250/mo, bringing you to a monthly savings rate of $770! That change alone with move your savings rate from 19.25% to 28.5%, increasing your savings rate by nearly 50% over it's current position! HELL YES.
Now, fast forward 5 months, and you have a lower balance owed on your car, and have over $6k in savings. It's time to hit the used car market! You sell your car, buy the super cheap and efficient Japanese car, and you're saving ANOTHER $500/mo! Fuck yea!
Now you'll have the opportunity to save $1270/mo, thus MASSIVELY increasing your savings rate from 28.5% to 47%. That is a very impressive savings rate when you're on a rather low income such as you are. That's something to be PROUD of!.
So, to recap, you spend a reasonable amount of money on food at $250/mo for only 5 months, and you'll have enough cash to pay for that used car in full, as well as to sell your Acura and get out from under your loan. At the same time, you'll be increasing your savings rate from 19.25% to 47%, and seriously jumpstarting your way towards financial independence.
Using a basic compound interest calculator, you can see that if NOTHING changed in the next 24 years, even with your meager earnings, you're currently in a position to bring about a scenario where you could generate nearly $900k by the age of 50, doing very little. You've got massive opportunity amigo! You
