Your father probably means well.

But quite frankly, stop taking financial advice from dear father.

Be wary of draining your future to finance you present.

Thanks for reply. It wouldn’t be a lot just enough for a 5k vehicle or less. He made it sound like I’d be selling at the high point when I first invested but I guess that really means I’d be selling at the low point now. And even if I pay it back it’s be rebought at a higher price depending on the market. I just need a car to get better job opportunities and go to college that’s an hour or so away. So figured giving up a future investment would be worth it if I can get a better education or better paying job in the long run
