ryde2idie Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 i make a list and buy it one thing at a time and i only put a few things on a credit card like my tires and one sub but thats only so i can build some credit. and i like to do builds over the winter so when the summer comes its all finished and you can roll down the windows and just cruise for those couple months then wen winter comes back and it sucks being outside you can stay inside and build.

BigJohnny Posted April 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 work hard for it ftl, but thats how i got all my stuff, befor i got layed off i made $12.09 an hr at thomas ville furniture, now all owned by furniture brands international witch is some bullshit to, they own every furniture place around here, but all in all, saveing and workin hard helps, but i got mine befor i got a family to so that helps, thats why im tryin to save all the little checks i get for unemployment as long as i can befor i start a new job, ima go back to collage to learn how to do hvac(heating and air), i can do pritty much anything with my hands, plumbing, electrical, carpentry, a little of this a little of that, so once i go to work for myself it will be alot better, and makein $60 for service calls will kick ass, lol im much the same way, there is nothing I cant do..... I just wish i knew how to put those skills to better use. whenever i do jobs for someone else it never works out quite right for one reason or another.

John Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 These times are hard no doubt about it. One way I made a little extra cash on the side was this... Go to a part of the city or surrounding area you live in that is building houses. Its usually the richer parts of town. Find the builder of the homes and sit him down personally. Tell him you will be here ever week to clean a house out of all the trash, lumber, drywall, etc etc. It usually takes about a month for a house to be built so thats 4 times you clean out this house. And when you get 5-10 houses to do, it starts adding up. People leave all sorts of things on job sites. Copper is a big one. It takes alot of copper to wire a house and the excess just gets tossed and not used. Pick it up, strip it and make some money that way. Things like that will usually get you some extra spending money my friend. 1999 Chevy Tahoe Level 4 15" AP 3000d Rockford and Phoenix Gold Componets T400.2 Mechman 250 amp Rhino 2 Kinetik 2400 GET LOUD : STAY LOUD : SLAP RESPONSIBLY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-Train Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 I work and save for alot of my stuff, but with my job if it rains, snows, too cold, what have you I cant work, so thats where my partial parental sponsorship comes in haha But the best way is to just scrimp scrape and save your money, it makes you feel better in the end when you see the finished product and know that it all came from your money, your time, your blood sweat and tears. 1997 4 Runner Alpine CDA-9886 4 Fi Audio X Series 12's 1 Crunch GP3000D Pro DC Power Inc.
