Serious question here...

How can all these younger guys around 21-25 afford several toys? I cant even afford a house yet! I am having a hard enough time paying off the TA, and my bills....

Just seems like im working like a motherf**ker and slowy doing mods and paying my bills. while other guys my age have 3 cars, a pickup, a bike, a boat, and a house! and they are out living it up while i sit my *** at home because i cant afford mods and to go out all that often...

So what am i doing wrong? Is there a secret i dont know about or what???? LMAO

I'm originally from nebraska and coming back to visit for a couple of weeks before i head out to virginia for my new job. ill be in the north platte area as my folks live in arnold.

For the money thing I joined the navy after high school. im 23 almost 24. my z28 is paid off (as a matter of fact i paid with a bonus check ). i bought an 06 sporters brand new with 0 miles on it delivered to budke's. got a hell of a deal on the sportster through the military overseas new car sales. saved about 4k on it lol. btw only owe 3k on the harley now lol.

I guess I worked a lot of over time for a while to actually get the car. Now I'm in the military and don't make much, but with deployments, you get a couple hundred extra for being in a warzone, so that helps some. I still make under 30k easily, i just spend it on my car, nothing else.

That's how u do it.

iTrader: (2)

ya i went on 2 deployments and saved up 10k each time granted i was on a ship and not in the **** lol. that and i got a 58k reinlistment bonus lol. only got about 30k of that though since they kicked me out cause im 5' 11' and weigh 210 lol. stupid navy and their odd taping system making me seem like a complete fatass. oh well their loss as im starting a government contractor job working at the navy base in virginia. lol 55k starting at the lowest engineering tech position.

I guess when i think about it i have spent alot of money on the TA in the last year since i bought it... like $10,000 in mods Went through to many different setups. Should have just paid the car off first.

So i should have no problem paying the TA off and the rest of my debt off in 2010.

From March-September i get 60-100/week but October-Febuary i get 40hrs/week...

I just feel broke right now, I want to get into a house and cant afford it right now. Its driving me crazy!

But next year, im getting into a house and getting a garage again! Im so tired of working in my driveway! lol

Blackhawk777
