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.

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 (
coincidence? ). 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.

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.

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.
