they work hard, and live with mom and dad. dont make a evo your priority like some idiots do here

 

I make plenty of money to mod an EVO, but with a wife, 2 kids, day care, schooling, nanny/babysitters, renting now but pretty soon to have a mortgage, and a 2nd car to maintain, i feel it much more difficult to pull the trigger on mods my heart desires even though i have (thank god) plenty of money. I guess I just think of the kids/wife everytime I get something and make sure there is plenty of money for a rainy day before I justify getting something. Thats probably why my EVO is not "heavily modded" yet.

I am 30 by the way.

 

i have a decent job, but not compared to alot of my friends. a bunch of my friends made 70K right out of college. some make close to 6 figures now, and they've got a few years before they hit 30. (edit, i also worked really hard in vocational high school, to get a scholarship, and pay my own way through college)

*shrugs*

 

+1 because Rob and Big said so.

You can join Bobby Lite's band and make some of that preverbal "fat cash".

 

It's not always what you can afford, it's what you should afford. Vary lives have different priorities, i.e., single vs. married with kids.

I am sure as a few have already said, are dumping every single penny they make into their cars. I am sure there are a few that have racked up 10k+ credit card debit, and I am sure there are a few that just make good livings and can afford to buy parts over time, and I am sure there are a few who get money from their parents.

Other things to consider aside from salary are their living situation. Do they own a place or are they living with someone for free? My only debt is my mortgage, if I could get free room and board with my parents I'd be swimming in an extra few grand a month.

Don't sweat what other people have. You'll be a lot happier.

 

I'm just turned 27 and have had my evo close to two years. Work hard and spend all your money and what you had in savings too on your evo haha a thousand here a thousand there and I could be driving a bmw **** I used to drive acuras & hondas everyone starts somewhere I wanted a evo when it came out in 03 and didn't get one until 06 well a couple weeks after divorce is when I got it

 

i live with my parents!

(but i give them $1080 a month to pay the mortage, how awesome it would be to have an extra $12,000 a year mooching off my parents)

 

most of the guys with sweet rides that are young all live with their parents still. Once they get their own place thats nice suddenly they make a part-out thread on here and parts start flying off the car. Then again most ofhte young guys with modded evos i know aren't maing more than 50k yet.

 

Pony up $500 more a month and get your own condo.

 

ahhhhhhhh


go to school get a degree get a nice job, or , or win the lottery you have a better chance at waiting for a mony tree to grow waiting for lottery

 

maybe i should move back home with my mom and get an e90 m3

 

I live with my mommy. Once I buy the X the mods will be rolling in.

 

OMFG, you pay 1080 a month "rent" to your parents? I hope there's a deeper more personal reason for that... Or that the housing prices in MA are insane... 1080 a month would easily buy me a pretty freaking nice condo or a decent townhome here in Salt Lake.

 

you won't do it!




A little bit of column A, and a lot of column B.

 

housing is CRAZY here in MA, esp next to the city... you guys dont even want to know what im paying... it sucks... i so want to move to South Carolina!
