how much $$$ do u make?

[thermal]

sorry i have to ask. i see so many young peeps out on the road driving some hooked up Tegs and sporting designer clothes. i mean, S**T, i make 40K a year and so as my wife BUT i'm still strugglin trying to hook my car up. i know that it's none of my business. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO ANSWER the question. i'm just making the board more interesting......so.......guys/gals, tell me the secret
daily grind= U.S. Navy active
pay check= about $40K annual (gross)

Yeah, you make around $40k per year, but you probably have a mortgage payment, credit debt, car payments, insurance, (and heaven help your paycheck if you have kids).

You tend to have less overhead when you're 17, living at home free of charge and making probably somewhere in the neighborhood of $10/hr (as an average).

Shoot, if I were 17 again, I'd be driving an even sweeter ride...:p

nah man, no mortage yet. 2 car payments tho and a loan. 1 kid but not a real burden. no credit card debts .

Well I'm a senior in high school, so I am not that worried about finances yet. I network admin for a company at 10/hour, freelance teach music for 15/half hour.

stepdad....my boy's real dad is very involved. that's why my little "ninja" is not a burden.
.....bro, are you in the mafia?

Right now I make around 52K but im in sales so you can never cont on nothing until you have it in your hands. Later this year or early next year ill be workig for my buddy when his shop moves into his new 22000 square foot facility in Harrisburg. Ill be a mechanic there but ill be making far less than what im making now. But ill be doing engine swaps and turbos for a living so I think its an even trade. Plus I have all the dyno time I need.

LOL...u freakin crack me up CLoWny....sometimes i wonder about you man?!

[2000Pimpinex]

I make about 24K a year, but I have a 2000 Civic Ex, a 99 Kawasaki Ninja, and some credit card debt. I live for free and go to college full time.

All I can say is that I am not doing right now where my interests lie. But this website is definitely a start. Save every penny waiting to see what mod I am going to buy next! Although it seems my girlfriend gets to it no matter where I hide it. And since it seems everyone is wanting to know thermalfi'd16 life, where are you stationed right now! Only ask because my brother is in the Navy as well and is in N.C. right now.

Hey honda brain what kind of car do you have??? with what mods?

99 Civic SI - I actually trying to find sponsors for my car. I haven't had much luck with that yet, but I will keep trying. Like all your mods. Very Nice Car!!

i'm here in great lakes/north chicago area. currently going to Gas Turbine school. what is your brother's rate/job in the navy?

[2000Pimpinex]

Being in the service definately has its perks. I was really thinking about joining the navy during my last year of high school with all the recruiters coming and talking. I decided not to but sometimes I'd wish I had.

ITs all good 2000Pipinex. YOur IN HONDASYLE NOW>

Yeah. When I took that ASVAB test recruiters were buggin the heck outta me. The Navy wanted me to be in their Nuclear Engineering program. Sounded interesting, but I'm not real fond of being on the water for months at a time. Almost signed for the Air Force though. Had the papers and everything ready. Almost wish I had. But ah well........

Back on the topic. I'm a Systems Administrator......

I USED TO BE IN THE BOY SCOUTS.

Im a senior in HS like some of you and Im only making 7.75 at Kmart. It sucks but at least I have a good car to show for my work.

GOOD POINT. WHO CARES WHERE U WORK AT OR HOW MUCH MONEY U MAKE WHEN YOU HAVE A G-RIDE.

[2000Pimpinex]

Don't feel bad. Nothing wrong with working at the Mart. When I was in high school, I worked at 2 different kmarts during a 2 year span. Its a good job while in school but customers sure did drive me crazy.
