Rather an non-original question, but this got me thinking the other day.

One would think that there will be more important things in life besides modding a car, or go crazy on some other personal collectable items. At this age, I need to focus on how to make a living in the future, to save money for a house, marriage, and even retire fund. I am sure a lot of people think that way.

As much as I wish to blow all my saving on my car and just get what I want, I can't. I suppose I need to listen to my woman and carefully allocate my funding accordingly. Which I am. One major car project per year, aside from necessary maintenance schedules.

You can pretty much picture how much money you can make, roughly that is. It is not like you will get 20% increase all of a sudden. With all the bills and whatnot, I can save a substaintial amount, but like I said, I can't blow it all. I guess I am rather fortunate in that aspect. Afterall, car is a hobbie, and it is too late for me to make money off of my hobbie (i.e. open a shop, become a professional racer... etc).

I work at Pizza Hut as a cook part-time. Make $7.15 an hour and work 15-30 hours a week. I don't invest much money in my car and i mainly save it cause just like you said, need to think of the future.

I like to work a lot and save like a ****!!! Not having an active social life is the key to not spending to much money. As for the future the rrsp contributions take car of that to an extant. I will save for a house after i have a mint car...

i recently became a full timer =)
so thats 16 an hour with all the benefits and that ****
i split pay checks into savings.....car money....and insurance/gas/spending money

im in school full time....so doing full time here is kinda hard...
(full time doesnt mean 9-5, just 40 hours a week)
i only get one day off a week. and most days i get to go home for like an hour or so after school b4 leaving for work...and im here till late

so its tough.....and stressful.....definatly not easy......
...and u might ask how can i enjoy life with this schedule.....
