Upside down car loan

[ErisaFirehawk]

I'm quite upside down in my car loan. I still owe about $7.5k and the car is only worth about $3k. I am bringing home almost half what I was when I bought the car. What exactly are my options? I just can't afford this payment.

call the lender and discuss your predicament with them and see if they can  work something out.
