I don't flip burgers. Lemme clear that up. I've been working in professional food service for almost 4 years now. I'm an actual assistant chef like you see at a restaurant.Quote:

parents? whats that? o you mean the free childrens labor. mine never helped with anything was out the house by 16 bouncing around for awhile. i feel it was for the best cause in 5 years i was ahead of most of my family. now im the only one who owns a house,cars, and can afford it. but remeber life isnt always about the materail things. its about being comfortable with where your at and what your doing.
I moved out of my mothers at 18 and moved in with my father, when i was living with him I paid for rent and half utilities and paid for the internet as I was the only one who used it. from the time I got my first job I paid for my own gas, insurance, and cell phone. My parents did help me with my first car, $500 a 1984 Chevy Tahoe S10. After I siezed up the engine I got the grand prix, my mother did co-sign on it but I had to pay every payment. She never once helped me even when it was either eat or make the payment. I never missed a payment on that in the three years I paid for it. But now that I'm living with my fiancee and going to school full time i'm starting to struggle, between trying to pay for bills/school/gas and maintenance on the car I'm stretched thin, plus she's in the process of finding a new job so I'm the only income..... very difficult at 8/hr. Not sleeping a whole lot, but hey, builds character.
If you can do it buy the dam car. Good god people. In HS I had a almost new MazdaSpeed Miata, book value was $16k with the miles @ a couple years old, My loan for 4 years was $14,200. $305 per month not including insurance. I made the payment and insurance and drove it like mad working 40hr/wk @ $8/hr and still had money to drink on the weekends lol.
