Money money

[DeathMetal]

What's the most ridiculous thing you've done to save money? (obviously for car parts and junk of the like)

What does everyone do to save money on the daily?

What type of jobs do you bastards with unbelievable cars have?

Finally, how do you drifters do it?

Hopefully these topics haven't been to widely discussed. I've been lurking the forums for quite some time and joined not to long ago in hopes of getting a lot of questions answered. This one however, is something I thought might be original haha.

You're poor and in need? You're 19 and you're posting this. Do you have a job?
Doesn't seem like it. If you don't, get a job and save up.

I happen to live in an area where there is no work for kids in high school. I'm out the 18 tho for good. Then I get a minute on probation and it's off to basic training boii.

Hmm, any of you military folk here? Military mechanics? Just regular mechanics? Getting sick of doing it for so many years?

I wonder...

I wanna become a bouncer in my 20's. I'm currently the strongest kid in my school (not at all anything to brag about but a minor something) and do powerlifting on the regular.

I beat up kids like you for money.... strength means absolutely nothing... other than the fact that your tendons are already stretched tight and pop easier.

Dude, it's all I care about. Notice how I said I'm 19 and still in school? Well, I'm in high school...yeh...super senior.

Education is in the bag but the grades are in the toilet. I figure the military has options for me.

college isn't for everyone. I think you have the right idea looking into military and if not that, may wanna try a tech school. Put your passion for cars to work for good.

Who said anything about fighting? I've never been in a fight in my life, not with the people I roll with.

And I figure with some martial arts and boxing under my belt, it'd be easy to get hired. BTW I'm 5'9" and 208 lbs, I don't go to the ground easy.

knowledge means nothing without putting that knowledge to use. It is the difference between conscious competency and unconscious competency. If you have a background in martial arts, you'll understand what I'm talking about. Depending on where you plan on "bouncing" at, you may need more of the real world experience than the hypothetical experience.

I don't doubt this at all, but I believe since I was younger that I understood the world and it's revolutions more than those around me. It was harsh on me when I was little and didn't understand the simple pleasures of enjoying recreation, which turned out terrible for my teenage years (pubescent) for I was constantly engaging myself in doing everything I possibly could to avoid the institution. I did not care for the idea that there is something I was "supposed" to do, so I became rather obsessed with defying that.

Now it has caught up with me and I am knowledgeable without the burden of proof for me to further any succession into colleges or universities and truly.

FUCK IT. I JUST WANNA BE A KID AND. While doing something to potentially support a family and a life and yadda yadda.

(BTW excuse my grammar, that's what I lack completely haha)

go to tech school... work hard, take every opportunity to go above and beyond. try to work your way into specializing into some of the higher end sports cars or luxury car lines. They pay the mechanics well.

When I wanted to turbo my KA i worked 2 jobs in summer. I started work on my family peach orchards at 5am and worked until 3p.m. with a 1 hour lunch break then i would go home and shower then work at a golf course from 4-9 or 10 p.m. no breaks. I was the guy who drove around in the golf cart that people try to hit on the driving range. I did this 5 days a week and on my days off I would do additional work in the orchards working 10 hours on my days off. I didnt get overtime tho in the orchards since its family owned.

All of this when minimum wage was under 7 bucks a hour.

Don't worry about it, you are 19, we really shouldn't have money unless its inherited or some shit most of the time.

They're broke because they have the same mentality as you.

No, he's right.

Most kids at 19 are relatively smart (whether they fully realize it or not) and put a heavier focus on hanging out, watching movies, getting drunk, playing cards, etc......than working all the time putting money towards cars.

Let me illustrate this.

A badass car can be obtained at 19 and also at the age of 65, however there's a fairly short period of time where it's alright to fuck the hot 18 year old girl next door.

Well, I'm over that whole "get laid" deal. I've have my fair share and when it comes down to it, I think I got a better feeling rolling around on my stupid fucking skateboard all day, beating my self up for the love of a ridiculous sport. Had I not started powerlifting and gained 60 lbs from 10th grade to my super senior status, I would probably still skate. Right now, I'm just moving on to bigger better things like drifting.

I also got a girl right now who pays for everything (obviously once I get on my feet I'm gonna get her back for it, she expects that) and helps me out when she can. Her parents are gonna rent us out their extra house for like 420 a month *#&%*#(% So she's basically a sweet girl with awesome hook-ups, can't go wrong at all haha.

The military is not something I truly want to excel in (right now) but rather an option for schooling and such. Once I'm done with training and whatnot, I can use their tuition programs to go to a tech school (so long as it's certified).

It's gonna be a hard life but I'm gonna love it and I'm gonna fucking enjoy it no matter what holds me down. Everyday I see it a priority to practice playing drums as much as I can even tho I hold a title around here for it. Everyday I still drag my ass to school and try really hard to just get it done. Everyday I feel I'm gonna get closer and closer to freedom and I'm gonna fucking fight for it!
