Bill Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 (edited) I'm 18 and I'm from a broken home background which made me really independent. Now days, both parents (separated when I was young) have healthy familys and 1 is very well off and the other is a multi millionaire. Nice houses, cars, room, privacy, no rent, family etc....... Does it make me want to stay at home till I'm 21,20,19? NO. I want to make my future, my own. Not mooch off mummy and daddy. Even though I live under the same roof as my mum (used to be rotated between both but mum got main custody so it kinda stayed that way) I buy everything myself. My car, my audio, my tv's etc and none of the shit I buy is crap. It's all good things. I've even bought a washing machine and fridge etc for when I move out. Best to be prepared first. I should note I've been working in the oil industry since I was 15 and still am. Even though was my old mans company, he never offered a job, I was offered a job there through someone else after I did work experience there. /end Edited April 13, 2010 by Bill Quote 1994 Suzuki Vitara (Escudo) [unreveiled Subwoofers] - 1,500Wrms, triple stack motor. 15" x 2 DD M1A x 2 10.5 cubes in a tiny car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonstr8 Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 i started helping out around my Dad's shop when i was in the 5th grade, he's a mechanic, granted i was only doing little things like sweeping floors and stocking shelves, but it taught me how to save and the value of working for something you want, not waiting for handouts. i turned 18 july 2000, by november 2000 i moved out. waaaay out and was on my own. i still go home to visit like once a year Quote I only tell people 1/3 of what im REALLY doin', just so they can HATE ONLY on that third... 2007 Tahoe factory system for now Car Domain Page Lay It Low Forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red_cavi03 Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 im 19 now. i had life pretty damn easy. i mean i didnt like the way i was raised but hey every parent has there ways. so i had a rough h.s got into drugs all that stupid shit. then my dad passed away when i was 16 and a week before that i had checked into rehab. and to have my dad die made it all harder but pulled it off did my 3month course and was out clean as can be.then went to home school. 17 going to 18 i was all excited finally out of school had a fine ass older girlfriend. lol and then she got pregnant. still in h.s she was 19 at the time already out for 2 yrs. so the kid put a stop too allll of my ideas for when i got out of school. but now that she is her i love her more than anything. my girl and i live at her parents house. which isnt bad we both help them pay rent. its a big house and when you have 5 month old baby you need to keep a roof over her head. but we will move out soon enough.
