Oops, spent my truck fund!

[Hyena]

You spent a truck fund on a car!  

[Gewehr43]

I have the same problem...but a few extra hobbies for the truck to contend with..

Telescopes....3 so far...$$$$$(I am studying Astronomy at the University of New Mexico)
Guns.....13 so far... I keep buying more expensive ones every time
1983 Volvo 240 GLT... Money pit between stereo and performace upgrades
many more that suck the $$$$$

[BLACKDOG]

Well it would be worse if none of this money had come from working. Sure I do stuff for my parents 99% of people my age do. My parents are paying me for the work I do so I don't go out and get a regular job. They offered to pay me when I starting bringing applications home after I lost my temporary job at Target.

Yeah, they're called chores   I wish my parents would have paid me that much for chores

so how's the truck search coming?  Obviously this has set you back, but how much?  when are you gonna get your next yota? 

[wa4x4]

This set me back a little under 1600, but I have more mods on the way. I may be a while out on a new yota now...I figure get my car lowered a little, tint the windows, and maybe tires/wheels if I can get a good deal on them.

no BD! My parents paid me an allowance for my chores, but ain't no way I would have saved up $1600 by doing chores during my entire childhood.
Count yourself lucky you have such generous parents WA.
So I assume your speeding ticket fund comes out of your 'chore pay' as well

My dad gave me a 1979 Mercedes-Benz 240D. It is a 4-cylinder non-turbo diesel with a 3-speed automatic transmission. Runs like a dump truck! Not much for the speed, needless to say....

I dig the old cedes they look gangster.

I think we got $1 a week for doing chores, which included picking up after 1-2 dogs (healty dogs at that) and a pear tree.  Pear trees suck!!!

I used to give my kids $10.00 a week until one of them went to the labor board, they came in and shut me down until I got workers compinsation insurance and told me I had to pay them minimum wage...... I fired all my kids, and hired illegals.

I have been saving since 13 doing odd jobs. My mom lost her liscense and they have been paying me to drive her around. I get to have a real job next month because she is getting her occupational.

so ma had a little too much Dom at the govenors mansion, and now she pays you to drive her? thats a riot. I did everything that was expected (on a small farm)   for  a place to live, food, and  clothes. oh and that was from when I was old enough to get out there and do it -8

  never lived on a farm, but as soon as I could reach the mower handle, I was mowing.  And because the gas mower was too "dangerous"  I got to mow with one of those old reel mowers.   Before that, my folks sent me out with a pair of scissors  

[Lady Di]

Driving his mother around! How did I miss that one!! Now THERE is a chore that will really put some hair on his chest! I am sure he has earned EVERY CENT!
We didn't have a farm, but I was using the push mower on our 1/4 acre property till my father got us a small riding mower.
Other then that I was doing my own laundry from the time I could reach the top of the washer, vacuuming and other household chores, not to mention babysitting my younger brothers and sister, for about $5/week if I can remember that far back.

When I was young, very young, and asked for money I was told to go to the neighbors houses and ask if I could do odd jobs.  You don't know how rewarding it is to pull weeds for 4 hours and get that shiny quarter!  Oh wait, what am I saying, sometimes I got two!  Even at that age I felt used
