Money issues

Listen up guys. I'm sick and tired of watching all the people I hate get rich and buying parts for their cars. I want money, can someone tell me how I can make some quick money. I mean, my 400 dollar paycheck is nowhere near enough, and I'm serious abotut a swap, but I want to do it soon. How do you guys make all your money? I've been working shit jobs for 4 years and I'm barely making bills, let alone having any extra cash to do anything to my civic.

you can sell useless stuff on ebay and get some fast mollas... its not gaurnteed to work but hey its worth a shot... my little cousin did it and what do you know... a few weeks later he had his bodykit... i was like you little :biggrin2: :thefinger

i make a good $800-$900 every two weeks... not the greatest but hey its good money...

ive had my car for 2 years, i have been planning all these mods and havnt really done anything :( i got some springs for $100 and exhuast which was $500, thats pretty much it...dont worry ur not the only one...the only thing is that I wasnt working all that much so I never really had any flow.

Ive got the same problems. I get about $150 on a good week working 5 or 6 days. Somehow ive managed to keep my girlfriend happy for 3 years with dinner and movies and whatnot, i bought a dx for $500 a ZC for $500, a $400 si tranny (long story) and insurance (~$450 a year) I just bought an 89 Si for $860 and days later my girlfriend dumped me (:bricks1:coincidence?:slap:). But on a good note, that frees up some time and money. I dont know though, I guess im just good with money but what I mean to say is that where theres a will theres a way. Or you could just start your own male escort service.:pimp:

dude the old saying goes..you gotta work hard for your money...what helps is look in penny saver for Fork lift jobs...you gety paid about 7 or 8 bucks an hour.... you work full shifts in the day and get weekends off...all they do is teach you how to use a forklift..then u get certified and u just drive that shit around all day...you can make 900 a month.. then sell shit on ebay.... or handle 2 jobs...it depends on how dedicated you are about making money..

well im making my money slow, 7.14 an hour, the average nights i work are 3 to 4 hours, morning shifts are 8 hours. and my schedule varries. Im only 17 so thats good, but it hurts with car payments every month 134.50 a month, and on average my checks are 150.00

my friend on the other hand is in debt from all the bank loans that he got to put into his car, and now he just got a credit card with a 500 dollar limit.

that's life...get used to it...I make plenty of money..yet I still have no money for my car... it only gets worse, so dont start complainin yet ;) :(

well im 18 and jus grad. from nigh school this week(yes!) anyway im a cook at a little resturant and i make about 140 a week during school and like 200+ a week during summer......i pay around 130 a month for car insurance and the rest goes straight to my car.....its not enough though.......but during college, the college is giving me like $500 a semister.......so thats good:bigthumb:

I dont even have a job right now ... and when I did the mods were still pretty slow.

I also spent a lot of money on my stereo.

weeks i work i usually make 80-130 bucks in 2 days *i only work weekends* but im trying to find another job, ive been doin stuff with money ive saved for 2 years before i had the car, job money just gets me by with my bills and gas and stuff

Hey man, we all hear ya. I'm earning 100 bucks a day this summer 6 days a week doing car detailing, but I have to save it all to pay for college and living expenses during the year. Not to mention 190/month for car insurance. That's big money for a 19 year old being self employed, but when you can't spend a damn nickel of it because you have to save for school it is really depressing during the summer. Then when school starts you see the big money in your bank account get drained all at once, and that hurts even more. U of I tuition is over 11,000 a year now, and living at the frat is 535 a month (covers everything including meals) so it adds up quick and gets drained from your wallet quick.

I've been getting better at saving though. I used to spend all my money on fast food and CDs and stupid shit like that. Now I have actually saved up some money this summer and I might be dropping in two 12" MTX 6000s and I can afford to get my tranny rebuilt. The key is to SAVE EVERY PENNY.

I work outside 8 hrs. a day, everyday. $10.00 a hour. My paycheck's not that bad but my insurance is f*ckin' killin' me, along with bills and so on and so on. You have to WORK to make any kind of good money, it sucks but you have to do it.:frown:

Sometimes you just gotta realize that your lucky to have a car. No matter what someones always got it worse than you.

I make $11.25/hr under the table and I'm only 16.:iceslolan

But I still drive a 90 DX thats slow as shit. And it now it's in the shop because the clutch is dead. Everyone has their problems.

i work at a gas station making 8 an hour. the only way i ahve money is because i still live with daddy. but all the money i am gonna make this summer, well 800 is going for my motor and the rest is going for school, so by the end of the summer i wont have any money, all the money i made will be gone

i sold enough parts on ebay to buy nearly everything on my car. all i did was part out the CRX parts car i had, part out my 90 hb when i wrecked it, and sell off some free parts i got from a few friends. my job merely pays my bills and gets my parents off my back about my student loans that they cosigned.

i also made friends with people who can do things to my car that i dont have degrees in, like body work. although i do the majority of the body work, my friend is going to smooth it all out and paint it. the catch is, he doesnt know mechanics, so i work on all his stuff.

the newest moneymaker is buying cars that either look like crap but run or look ok and dont run, and then our combined skills get it in good shape and we sell them for a lot more than we put into them. currently i have that corolla i posted, an 87 cressida, and he has an s10 and a nissan pickup, all bought for cheap. we never payed half of what the vehicle is worth for any of them, that way even after parts are bought, we come out on top.

I make a decent amount of money but after rent, insurance, loan, gas, cable, phone, long distance, electric bill, internet, rrsp, visa, groceries, etc there isn't much left. Whatever has been left has gone into repairs since I bought the car in feb.

Money is a whore but you do what you can with what you have. :pimp:

c'mon guys just save ur money and spend wisely, i make 7.55/hr over at rite aid, and i budget my money nicely to pay my bills, and get some goodies for the rex whenever i want something.

but if you want a good job thats easy and get quick cash, pizza delivery is the way to go, i was making near 550-650/week in tips plus my hourly wage on top of that. i so wish that dominos didnt close by me:(

too bad all you student loan peeps dont live in cali i have my school fully paid for and i get like 3-4 g's for living expenses for a full year of school, it paid off for me later not growing up rich then.

but i feel your pain it sucks when all you do is wait and wait and wait to do more to your car

MONEY SUCKS!

If you dont get it handed to you, consider yourself lucky.

Everything in life requires something for something. For example, four years of school, gets you four years of pinching pennies, doing things the cheap ways. But in the end, it pays off. Better jobs, more money, etc...
