im 17 and i sell household cutlery... PM me if your interested

 

hes right. i didn't buy the truck and most of us kids didnt. i paid for a few thousand and all my mods tho.

 

Same here, I was lucky enough to be given such great truck

 

Well I don't have a lift but I can proudly say I'm paying for my truck and mods myself while going to college now. Along with rent, bills, food, gas, etc.

It's rough working 30+/wk at two jobs while keeping grades up taking engineering. I keep telling myself, though, that I will appreciate being able to look back and tell myself that I paid my own way through college.

Like everyone else has said, saving is the big deal. So hard to do, but it pays off!

 

Cutco? I did that for a year too back when i was 17 in HS.

 

You'll be a better man for it!

What type of engineering are you studying? I graduated with an ME degree back in 2005.

- NCSU

 

I paid for mine with money. US currency to be exact. I work for a living. Nothing else to it.


Probably should add, I am single. Helps tremendously !!

 

my first truck was given to me for christmas, it was a 2005 ranger edge 5-speed and it was red i had it for a year and a half 37,000 miles then i paid half for my second truck 07 sporttrac and my dad paid the other half, then i wanted the f-150, i built my credit up through small loans, credit cards, etc so i went down to ford saw a truck i liked that was 4wd talked to them told them what i wanted to pay they tried telling me it was impossible to get to that price i said to them have a good day i left my cell phone number with them 27 minutes after i left they called me asked me to come back the tried meeting me half way i said again good day i wasnt gonna pay 1 cent more than i wanted so i left they called back two days later, they said well mr bundy it looks like we have a deal, so i pay 371.75 for 5 years and i saved for the lift and this truck is 100 percent lol

 

I bought mine...no help from my parents...i did get a good deal on my first car from my grandmother...but i only sold it for 1300 more than what i bought it for...but that helped...other than that, i have worked my butt of and saved up...but like other people...i dont pay bills except for my gas...but i will tell you one thing...buying it on your own gives you a whole new respect for the truck. i have only had it for a week and a half now but i have an f150 with 8" lift on 38" tires...i do consider my self lucky to be this fortunate.

 

I had to come to Iraq to bust a few heads to make the money to do mine. $6000 plus so far, but you can't take it with you.

 

First deployment isn't it?

 

Actually its my 7th. I have been in for 13 yrs now.

 

Whats your job?

 

MY primary is Fuels, but don't won't to go in any details on here. You know with OPSEC and everything.

 

Same here man. Going to school taking 15+ credits, Working full time (swing shift on top of it), Paying for EVERYTHING. I was lucky that i got a great deal on my truck.
