meade916 Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 first off i totally agree with everyone on his attempt to have people pay for his shit, but that aside i must ask you a question. Im 21, i work my balls off and im in college full time. But i dont see the rush to move out and piss away money on an apt. when i can save money for a house while im in school. I honestly dont see how one can be 18 and move out when they are in my shoes( like many of us here). School full time, work full time, living paycheck to paycheck, not enough credit go get approved for shit(thanks obama). It seems that by the time i pay for a cell, car payment, insurance, gas, etc. and set a little aside in my savings, I can never really move ahead and save until i finish my schooling( and pay for that). Aside from family, the only thing that i love is my vehicle, audio, and relaxing on the very little time i have off and playing some xbox. Is there really a problem with that? What steps do i need to take to move out and be comfortable on my feet? I do see your point of view meade, but at the same time, it sucks having younger friends making 30 bucks an hour in the steel mills working 80+hours a week with a GED, while im barely making 20k a year and paying for college, in hopes to eventually have a safe stable job, that pays half ass. I think under some circumstances its ok to be at home and have decent toys..... then again maybe im missing it. of course there is exceptions...you dont gotta move out when your exactly 18. Thats not what i really meant. I mean i think anyone over 18 should strive and want more for themself but if it takes till your in the early 20's then thats almost the norm these days. I think i must seriously draw the line though at around 22-23. No matter what though, if you live with your parents and they are paying the bills, you shouldnt have nicer shit then them. You also shouldnt be bragging about how much loot you have to the world while your parents are funding all your bills. If your in college and have a decent car with a small system, i got no issues with that, but if you have $50,000 sunk into your ride and your almost 30, living at home.........i say your a mooch. I personally dont know what some of you guys, who arent at least a full time college student, tell the girls when you meet them. "Wanna go to my pad?, my mom and dad should be asleep and i can sneak you into my childhood bedroom" LOL - i personally couldnt get out fast enough for that very reason. Nothing like being a MAN and having your own pad, no matter how small and shitty it is. sorry if i hurt some feelings, i am just set in my ways.

wfw5607 Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 meade i agree with you. I am a collage grad and have been living on my own since 17. I had friends who fell under the category of huge system in a really nice car while im stuck in some cheap ride. But i have been paying my bills and buying all my own equipment at the same time. I hate it when these guys come to a show and are all laughing at my system or ride just cause my parents dont pay my bills or buy me a nice car. I know you have to work hard for what you want and even as much as you may like or want a bangin system their is a lot of other things that are much more important things that need to come first. I have to work way to many hours a week just to make bills and am lucky when i have some time or money to invest in my system which at this point is five years in the making. I wish more people would realize that we aint all made of money and everyone cant go drop 50k in their ride some of us have to build it over time Build in progress Alpine CDEHD-138BT Alpine SPX-17PRO 2x Alpine SWS-15d2 2x Alpine PDX-V9 2x Alpine PDX-M12 Stinger SPC5050 Stinger 1/0ga and 4ga Audioquest interconnects and Speaker wire Dynomat 10455 mega bulk pak Dynomat 1/8 and 1/4 liner All that in a Reg cab truck and it wont be a blow though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benji0687 Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Steve, you nailed it right on the frickin head dude! I've had several places on my own, and the only reason I'm living at home right now is that I lost my job right when my dad got sick so it knocked me down financially pretty hard. But still, you're right...nothing worse than hollering at a girl n when you wanna seal the deal...damn nowhere to take her. #1 motivation right there for me...hopefully by the new year i'll be back on my feet n in my own place. 1989 Chevy Caprice Classic350ci V8 High Performance JVC Arsenal HU JL XR series components Infinity Reference 6x9s Pioneer Premier 4-Channel Clarion 2-Channel Rockford Fosgate Series 1 2-Channel Fusion 2000.1D MTX Crossover RF, Knu, Kicker, and Monster wiring NVX VCW 12in.

Not like ya care anyway. 05 xB - (2) EVIL 18s - (2) BC3500s - NO WALL Channel 1: http://www.youtube.com/k3n12ock Channel 2: http://www.youtube.com/MrK3n12ock2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
