Help me be less sad

Welp! I was on track to buy a new M3 Comp this year, but soon to be ex husband asked for divorce out of blue and moved out.

​

I am keeping the house but half my income is gone. I currently have a 2022 M240i xdrive with 28k left on loan. I love my car so much. It is my little rocket but now also expensive to maintain and insure as I am now holding the full cost of the home to myself. (Which is not small or cheap) Close to 900 month between note, insurance, and mait budget.

​

It is also now impractical as a single homeowner car. Its the little car that can until it cant.

​

I am thinking as part of a much tigher budget, I should get something more practical and cheaper, but dont want to drive something miserable. But am also aware at a 45k budget to keep my note lower.... im not looking at a sq5 or x3m40i.

​

My current thoughts are mazda 3 hatchback turbo awd. It would bring my cost of ownership closer to 500 month and brand new.

​

Is there anything else I should consider?

​

I am not likely to get a big raise and if I lost my job id pry have to accept less money as my job pays top of market. But I also want something fun and fast and practical.
