im pretty sure i can afford 30 bucks a week, but thanks guys for all the advice because i was going to go the credit card route, there for awhile i see tons of trucks with 20s or 22s and kids driving them wondering how in the hell they can afford it, unless its drugs , just kinda got me down but i guess i can wait so thanks for all the replies

 

i'm in the same boat

 

well no word on my job yet, im told its salary, my take home check will be approx $970 every 2 weeks~$30k a year i guess...not to bad for being 20 with no college lol.

im thinking about just joining the military...pay is decent, free house and power/water etc etc living on base.

yes...bieng SINGLE would help me a ton, i'd have a bagged 91 mazda b2200 and a 9 sec 74 Pontiac if i was single...but those vehicles are both gone and ihave this truck now lol.

 

well being single right now isnt an option , havin a gf is good at times, and im sure having the right one would be better, and dang rook hook me up if you going into a manager position anytime...

 

I see the same thing all the time. Most of those kids got their **** with their parent's money. Most of the guys I've seen on here work their asses off for their stuff. I had my truck for three years before I finally broke down and got rims for it. Mainly because there were other things that I wanted to do to it first, but also because a summer job doesn't cover the truck, insurance, and school. Just be patient and learn how to save and be tight with money. I've found out this year in college especially that I spend a lot on meaningless **** that I could've used on the truck or something else.

 

want to save money....goto wal-mart super center or nearest food store..

buy Ramen...the cups or 'bricks'...a caseof 6 cups is liek $1.68.

a case of teh bricks is even cheaper...they are what 11 cents each lol. live off of those, dont go out to eat, walk/ride a bike if ur going a short distance instead of driving.

 

i sold a 13k race car to fix my truck up......i miss that car......oh well.....truck looks and drives better.....

 

Im in the miltiary, and they pay is good but the bull **** is through the roof, no such thing as sick days, 4-6 mos in the desert at a time, and you have no choice in going. And staying on base **** THAT! But one nice thing is they pay me an extra 950 a month to pay for my place. Ill tell you from expericene the way to go is marry a woman with money, who cares if shes good looking divorce her in a coupple years and its 50/50 after that.


Im bull shittin about the divorcing her part, most women with money look good

 

You need to look into working for a defense contractor. The pay is good and as long as you're not screwing up, you've got job security for the length of the contract. Sr engineer should start out around 65-70K in Tx I would think.

 

I've got a great custom parts guy who lets me pay off my stuff in up to 3 months no interest. Basically it's a lay a way plan. Order your stuff, he hangs on to it until you pay it off... Got a nice set of ION chrome wheels and Toyo tires that way.
