have you heard of rich & privileged kids?

 

i'm 18 use to have a prelude then sold it. I have been saving my money ever since i started working, 15 years old. I'm not a big money spender and I can manage my money very well. I also buy/pay for a lot of my own things, but I admit I still live with my mom and she treats me good and I usually dont have to buy food. I do however have a gf and dog and everyone knows gf's take lots of maintenance. Bought an used evo and have about 4k to owe, but through my mother so thats only $335 every month for a year and no interest!

 

Of all the kids that have evo, 5% of them have probably actually "worked for them." If you are 18 and can only afford an Evo b/c your parents pay for everything else in your life (gas,insurance, clothes, entertainment, etc.), then that doesn't count. When I was 18-20, I had a 96 Mustang GT. It was a nice car, but only cost $12K. Not a frickin $30K car.

 

Not everyone that has an evo and isn't older is rich and privileged.

 

I got my EVO when I was 22, I'm 23 now. I also have a daughter. I started working in Escrow @ the age of 18 as a receptionist and worked my way into a Escrow Officer in 2 yeasr working there... From there I moved on to working @ Washington Mutual in 3 different positions and now am Sr Auditor for Countrywide where I've been for a year @ the age of 23.

Experience has gotten me to where I am and just being in the buisness and all aspects of it kinda got me to where I'm at... I'm on my 8th car (lol) ... Previous to my EVO I had a WRX ...

Not everyone has rich parents or rich themselves ... Go out there and get a job - and work hard @ it ... *shrug*

 

i am 21 I work 50+ hours a week if you include the drive, for Philip Morris a fortune 15 company. full time student at night to finish my degree, but the pay for it, full time gf $$$$. and although a give a couple hundred $ a month to my parents, I live at home. my parents are broke (2 jobs each) so they hit me up quite often to help make the mortgage payment and i buy them dinner at least once a week to help offset any snacks i eat. pay for car, all types of ins, gas, mods, food, cloths, entertainment, college books, gambling problem, drugs, booze, gf, cigs, presents for the whole family and any other vice I have. i don't take anything from them besides my old room and bad habits.

 

^^^^Agree totally.

 

I ****ed up

 

I work for a Nevada corporation called Franklin Investment Properties. I also have good credit. I'm 22 and my parents have haven't bought me anything (never paid insurance, help with car, rent, anything). The last thing they bought me when I was 15 was a pair of pants.

 

I'm 21, Im married, I'm in college, I bought an evo a year ago, therefore I work...

 

When I was 17 parents were willing to purchase me a 30k car, I decided to spend only 20k of theres on a stage 4 wrx. Now i'm going to sell the aftermarket parts, and the car, and will putting it all on a down payment on a evo IX. This time around I will be making the payments of the evo IX. But since my parents did buy me the WRX and i'll be selling it to put the money on the evo 9, they are technically paying for 1/2 the car.

 

Wow all you guys must have a pretty good life.

I'm going for a Mechanic Apprenticeship now.

I'm gonna have to start working hard for an Evo5!!

 

I'm 22 w. an associates and do electromechanical engineering for Lockheed Martin, and I still only drive a Lancer. Yeah it may seem like it sucks that lot of younger kids driving nice cars don't have to do **** to get them, but at the same time people who aren't in that position have a greater sense of fufillment from what they have. I could afford an Evo, I could afford a Lambo if I wanted one, but I'd rather have retirement paid for when I'm 25 and be able to do stuff like go to Europe for 2 months at a time to party. No help from parents (except half of college tuition). You just have to decide what's more important. What should be the most important is enjoying your job, because if you do then you already have alot more than the majority of people.

 

Well, originally my mom bought me a 04 mazda6s for about 20k in october for my senior year of high school. Then i got a full scholarship to college for 4 years, plus a stipend for books and what not, so my mom agreed to let me trade in the 6 in june as the down payment for an evo ix. now i gotta figure out how im gonna pay for med school lol.

 

I'm 22 and have been married for more than 2 years, we both work full-time.
In the U.S. You can have anything, as long as you want to work for it.
