Ok I'm here sitting at work and I'm now reflecting how much I've spent on my mustang and then how much I plan to spend..... I pull a crap load of hours per week.. Around 67 hours and I'm able to do it...I still buy other things and live my life. So how do some of you other guys do it? Any big ballers here? I'm a young guy so working is no biggie...

when I was at my other job, I used our employee stock purchase. Every 6mos I got a nice payout, paid off bills and bought new toys.
I miss those days ![[Frown]](frown.gif)

Prioritize.. put your money into the needs of your car then set aside a little savings for your wants/backup. Network through everyone on here like hell Haha.

I help a couple friends that are females with their dating services. I make sure they get paid and make sure they get to their destination.

Well, I'm a porn star on the side. Anytime John Holmes needs time off I get called up. It's strenius work, long hours, meet lots of new people!
Actually being a machinist has been ok. I get ops to design and make my own things often. I like to design and fab parts too, so that all comes in handy. On the side I do custom pinstriping and gold leaf work. That pays high, but not as desired as it used to be. A big shame, it's a cool art.

I know plenty of cats like that.. But I was referring to Mods more than the actual purchasing of the car... It took me a while to get mine but I did!! Now I'm modding it the same way. Hard work!!

I never understood that, I guess it's cause my parents were broke as hell and I wouldn't think to ask them for any help rather work and get it on my own but not everyone has the same maturity or moral level. Hell no I ain't perfect made a ton of mistakes in my life but no way in hell could I ask my folks for any kind of help if I was driving a nice ass car. For those of you young bucks on here who work to support your fam or our car hobby I commend you, you're definitely doing it right no matter how hard or low paying the job is.
When I want mods now that I know I don't need I sell stuff on craigslist, it's easy and free plus I can clean out my garage sell stuff to someone who may need it and take the cash and put it into my car or somethin I like.

Some of us on the site work our asses off. This week for example, i've been working from 6AM to Midnight every day and I'm still behind on work. You gotta know when to turn it on and when to enjoy your toys. There's always a mix because if you have too much of one vs the other your life just sucks in general.

Well put. I dont support my family since my parents grew up dirt poor and that has been their constant motivation when they immigrated 20+ years ago.
I do not ask anything from my parents when it comes to my car because thats just selfish. Bottom line is work hard and play hard because I love it when people ask whos car that is and I say, ALL MINE! ![[burnout]](graemlins/burnout.gif)

I have a pretty good paying job. Work provides me a housing allowance which pays for housing - I end up with a pretty good amount of spending money each week.
